When the going gets tough, LAUGH!
There’s one thing that’s high on my agenda when looking for a job, finding people to work with and making friends. A sense of humour! A firm grasp and appreciation of sarcasm is an added bonus.

Why it’s a great idea to hire an Entrepreneur
I recently went for an interview with a Fashion recruitment office over here in Orange County. After having shown my portfolio, and gone over my CV (or resume as they call it here) I felt the need to explain something that I hadn’t mentioned on there. I hadn’t mentioned that I had set up my own Childrens brand a year ago, and was in fact still currently working on it… part of me felt I would be shunned from ever working for a Fashion Brand ever again if they knew I had my own business. The Fashion world can be a fickle place!

2016 – what a year!
OK, political shenanigans aside, it’s been quite a year for the Muklet household too! We did indeed become ‘Stronger Together when we ‘Brexit-ed’. When ‘they (Sterling) went low, we went high’ (in the sky, in an aeroplane, headed to California!). As a trucker be-hatted Donald zig-zagged the country we were glamping in our new house on blow up beds and eating In and Out off of paper plates whilst our worldly possessions floated up the Panama canal in a shipping container.
Observations of an Expat: THANKSGIVING
I was first introduced to Thanksgiving day in November 2001 when I was a young and free 20 something working and playing hard in New York. A year later I had met my American boy (now husband) and was welcomed with open arms (and full tummies) into his family Thanksgiving feasts. Over the years we have had all kinds of Thanksgivings – the big noisy fun family ones, the small Brooklyn sized apartment ones complete with Wholefoods pre-prepped dinner, the budget ‘we’re too tired to cook as we have a newborn baby so we went to KFC’ ones – there’s no real tradition in this household! But the tradition we do uphold is downing tools, coming together with friends and family, and taking a moment to take stock and be thankful.
Raising inquisitive kids that don’t alway do what they’re told
I’ve always been a inquisitive kid, you know the type – that one that ask’s a million “but, why?” questions. My eldest is EXACTLY the same. “He’s just like you, you know?”, my husband likes to point out. Often when I’m doing battle with a tidal wave of questions before Mummies morning coffee has had a chance to kick in.

Shhh, don’t say the C word…
Yep, Childcare! Why? What did you think I was going to say?! It’s a bit like money – it’s one of those subjects not often talked about right?!
Caution BUMP ahead
Yeah, I kinda knew it wouldn’t be as simple as unpacking Varsity Jackets, and finding where the nearest Post Office was. Setting Muklet back up over here, has become quite the task. Without wanting to sound like a martyr it’s been a little difficult even finding time and opportunity to get the Muklet cogs turning.
Observations of an Expat – Part 1 (of many)
To the unaccustomed one may think that moving from England to America would be an easy transition. They are both English speaking countries in the Western world, with similar customs and past times right?! Well, for the most part that is true…

To all my muklet friends & family…
Now, I’m gonna try and write this without sounding like an egotistical narcissist!! It’s a very genuine thank you to everyone who has cheered me along thus far. I honestly wouldn’t be able to keep going had I not had the support and encouragement from you all!
VLOG – Surviving MOVING DAY
It’s getting real! We’re packed up, and our worldly possessions are now on a shipping container headed for LA! California here we come…
