Hi! I’m the voice behind this blog—a slightly sleep-deprived, often confused, but always curious parent who moved to the UK a few years ago with big dreams, two kids, and absolutely no clue how anything works here. 🧳👶👧

Since arriving, I’ve mastered the art of smiling politely while having no idea what someone just said (regional accents, anyone?), learned the difference between “Reception” and “Year 1” (kind of), and discovered that booking a family holiday here involves equal parts strategy, snacks, and weather-proofing. ☔✈️

Renting a house? Been there. School applications? Done that (with mild panic). Grocery shopping on a budget? I could write a thesis. Now, I’m sharing all the chaos, wins, fails, and hacks right here—to help others who are also trying to sort their lives in the UK, without losing their sense of humour (or their deposit).

So if you like your advice with a sprinkle of sarcasm, a splash of real life, and maybe a biscuit or two 🍪—welcome! You’ve found your people.
