Happy 2nd anniversary to Bringing Up Brits: Expat Parents Raising Cross-Cultural Kids in Britain. I never thought I’d become an author and two years ago today I did it!

Now I am working on my second book called Inspiring Global Entrepreneurs: Discover how to successfully set up and run your dream business in a foreign country. I’m co-writing this book with Heidi Walker (wishing you a wonderful 4th of July Heidi – your first in 16 years??) and it will be released in November 2013.

The photos are by Moose Azim, a friend and client (I created her website) and a very talented photographer. I LOVE the photo of my cake and balloons on the beach!

Although there is no national celebration here (go figure), I will be celebrating with my children at home with hotdogs, veggie dogs, potato salad and cake.

Enjoy the day everyone!!

The post Bringing Up Brits on the 4th of July – SPECIAL POST appeared first on Bringing Up Brits.

My aim is for this to be a complement to the book Bringing Up Brits and also a place where I (and hopefully others too) can write about the everyday and long term challenges of living in a foreign country – making a home for a family in a foreign country, any frustrations I have, all my loves about living here and generally give insight into what it’s like being an American in Britain and raising children in a country not my own and one that I have no history in (pre-children).

There have been many driving forces behind this new blog – one of course has been my book, one has been the fact that I’ve been wanting to get on the blogging scene (as it’s huge!) for several years now but debating whether to do it as a mummy blog or something else (I guess this is the ‘something else’ but it’s also tied in with being a mum.. er or should I say mom… no, I guess it’s mum for me), and recently I came across a terrific site for expat women. Really, if you are an expat woman anywhere in the world, then take a look at this site. It has useful information, it looks great and features inspirational expat women around the world. http://www.ExpatWomen.com I contacted them and they said I could submit my expat blog to their directory. Very exciting… except that I hadn’t gotten around to creating one yet. So, here it is and it’s about time too.

There are other ways to keep updated with Bringing Up Brits – please like my FB page and follow me on Twitter. I will also do my best to follow you and like you if you are on those as well.

And if you want to find out more about the book Bringing Up Brits and about the author (me!) then please click the links in the menu bar above – About Bringing Up Brits and About the author

I think that’s a good starting point. Please post on this blog if you have an expat experience to share.

That’s all for now folks,

Meg
