When people drop into our home, they’re offered a coffee by my husband, Steve, and taken by the hand of our three-year-old daughter, Abbey (she’s on a quest to enlist friends to block-building or story-reading). The walls of our home have heard countless stories and plans as we sit and chat with our friends. And that’s what it’s like here at Writing Out Loud – let’s talk about all the things that interest us, open the conversation to life and dreams, chat about things we want to learn more about and think of better ways to do things.
I’m Megan Blandford – a mum, wife, freelance writer and Human Resources Consultant. I love to bake, read, take photos, travel at any opportunity, and drink champagne with friends.
I’m an organised, neat-freak, over-analytical sort, who is learning to balance my workaholic side with my love of life, and my sweet tooth with my aim to be healthy. This website combines many aspects of me, covering the things I’m interested in, the things I spend my time doing, the things I want to do better, and the things I’m passionate about. Here I talk about life, travel, parenting, food, renovations, and the pursuit of work/life balance.
And whatever else pops into my head.
