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 really wanted to write something about the recurring issue of British racism and English football while following this year’s Euros championship. However, I decided to stay away from the keyboard and focus on the positive instead. After all, having already witnessed England’s semi miraculous World Cup 2018 campaign, we were again watching a national team that was playing well enough to provide a reason to dare to dream. Positive enough I’d say. We could feel legitimate pride in an …
