My 2020. That’s it.
Returning to Blogging After the Longest Blog Break Ever
Hello and Welcome!
I’m Prabs, creator of Absolutely Prabulous, an award-winning blog bringing you entertaining and serious observations on mum life, married life, Malta life, midlife and modern life. I started AbPrab after people described my Facebook posts about parent fails and domestic disasters, as sitcom material that deserved its own dedicated platform.
A bit about me: I’m a British Asian, a former London-Paris girl and now a beach-lovin’ mum in Malta. My main achievements include losing any key in my possession, yelling “What do you MEAN you can only find ONE shoe?!” 27 times a day and overthinking almost anything. (I’m also a master at useless pop trivia, fluent French speaker and skilled procrastinator.) My biggest fears are running out of vodka and screwing up my 3 kids (in that order) and I wear sunglasses at home so I can’t see the mess.
I can’t believe I haven’t received a ‘spousal award’ for surviving the loudest snoring for 20 years…and can’t believe I actually did receive an award for this blog.
In short, if you want a practical guide to parenting and domesticity, erm THIS is not THAT!
But if you enjoy funny, moving and honest writing about this thing called life, I’m your gal. So I hope you’ll stick around, read some, feel some and comment some! (For the juicy stuff click here.)

I teach my girls the world is theirs. That they can be anything they want to be. Except for safe.
I tell my son the world is his. That he can do anything he wants to do. Especially, respect women.
And I wonder how many men say “Text me when you get home” saying bye to his mates..

I recently celebrated my @#$%&*!!th birthday. (I could tell you the exact age but I’d have to kill you.). As I went through old photos for the obligatory Instagram birthday post – which I highly recommend you check out by the way as it contains some ‘Prabs through the ages’ gems – I got to thinking about the funny side of middle age. (By ‘funny’ I clearly mean ‘pain in the arse’ but let’s not bother with semantics right now.) …
