After much MUCH discussion with friends, family, readers and supporters of Bringing Up Brits blog, I have made a monumental decision. It will take some time for me to carry out the changes I plan on making to Bringing Up Brits blog so please bear with me on this. I have absolutely loved blogging about life as an American expat living and raising a family in Britain and I’ve loved being a part of the blogging and expat community worldwide. I’ve also loved being a source of support and information to other parents and expats. I want to continue to do this, but it will be done slightly differently from now on….

In a way, my children are growing up along with this blog and as my husband says “it is a log of our family life that will be wonderful to reflect on in years to come”.

Another comment I got on FB said “I think the blog is valuable to a lot of people. Plus you have won awards – would be a shame to give it up! Why not cut down to once per week and exclude the kids? There is plenty other stuff to write about.”

If I exclude my kids, then I won’t feel inspired to write, as they are my inspiration for Bringing Up Brits the book and the blog.

To respond to this comment, “I can see how a great deal of the site’s charm and appeal will get lost without photos or personal stories featuring your awesome kiddos. Are you going to take down all past posts featuring them? Alas, all great things have to end, but I’m sure you have a lot more to give. Bringing up Brits has played its part, time for your next big exploration of another aspect of life as an expat, woman, American, Mum, entrepreneur… Or just Meg.”

No, I won’t take down anything I’ve written as it would be a shame to lose those life ‘recordings’.

I really and truly appreciate all the love and support for Bringing Up Brits blog. Thank you. Now we say goodbye to BUB blog as we know it. But it’s not goodbye altogether….

…here’s to expat life and ‘Bringing up Brits’ in 2015 and beyond!!

In the meantime, I wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Merry Christmas from Bringing Up Brits
