I’m Francesca, a Londoner living in Surrey with my great husband and our three lovely children. My eldest daughter is 15 and my twin daughters are aged 12.<\/p>\n

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 every day parenting (and much non-parenting) stuff in between. My interests include food and wine<\/a>, travel, Italian culture, football and personal finance.<\/p>\n

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

I’m on Twitter<\/a> and Facebook<\/a> and you can get me at: fdefranco1@gmail.com<\/p>\n
