About The Parent Social

Behind The Parent Social 

I’m Francesca, a Londoner living in Surrey with my great husband and our three lovely children. My eldest daughter is 16 and my twin daughters are aged 13.

I blog about the things that we do, the places that we visit, the games that we play, the activities we do as well as all the everyday parenting (and much non-parenting) stuff in between. My interests include food and wine (check out my blog here and Instagram here), travel, Italian culture, football and personal finance.

I also blog over on Epsom & Ewell Families and, write sporadically for a number of other sites and was a regular blogger for TalkMum (until my little ones were not so little).

I’m on Twitter and Facebook and you can get me at: fdefranco1@gmail.com
