About

Welcome to The Avid Wonderer. This blog has no niche, it is more like a junk drawer, but instead of finding random Ikea bolts and screws and your kid’s permission slips from two years ago, you will find sarcasm, chaos and strange stories.

My name is Fam, and I am a writer of unearthly tales, a mother to three strong willed daughters, and a chronic over thinker (wonderer) who just needed a space to put it all down, hence The Avid Wonderer.

This blog may include but not limited to:

Musings: The things I (over) think about while procrastinating, and trying not to scream into the void.

Short Stories: Fictitious tales which may or may not have been inspired by my daily life.

Life as a mother of Teens: AKA ‘the daily struggle of diplomacy’

If you are looking for calm and composed, I apologise, this blog might not be for you. But if you are looking for some relatable unhinged mayhem and a little dark humour, then go right ahead and grab your beverage of choice, take a seat, and stay awhile.

I will try to post weekly (ish) because, you know how it is with parenthood, procrastination, and life. Feel free to drop me a comment, even if it’s just to say a quick hello. I am interested to know how you came upon this blog, aside from possibly searching ‘How to survive people by running away to become a witch or wizard in the woods.’

Happy that you are here.

Yours truly,

Fam
