Collaborative post. As anyone who has redecorated their home will tell you, it is important that you carefully consider what flooring you want to lay down. Not only can floors significantly change the impression a room makes, but they can also impact the sustainability of the space. As a homeowner, you will want to find something that continues to look…
Disclosure: We were sent the featured product for the purpose of this post however all opinions are my own. Who remembers making friendship bracelets at school? I do! But I don’t remember how to make the patterns and designs in them, my memory can’t think 30 years back that clearly! But there’s now a really easy way to make both…
Partnered post. It is difficult when our loved ones are unable to take care of themselves, and it can be emotionally taxing to make difficult decisions on their behalf. There is often a stigma to elderly residential homes that may be outdated or based on fear of residents losing their independence. Assisted living residence doesn’t mean that your parents are…

Like so many of us all over the world I have found myself thrown into the world of homeschooling, with absolutely no choice on the matter! The kids are probably bored of me trying to teach them things like maths and english and I am desperately searching for new ways to entertain them. They’re suffering from not seeing their friends…
I had lots of good intentions to start getting fitter and shaping up when I got back from New York (where I enjoyed lots of great but not very healthy food!) and then Corona virus happened. I was planning on supplementing walking my two school runs a day with either starting couch to 5k again or going to the gym…
Summer is approaching, and it is almost time to show our faces outdoors. Likely, the winter months have been characterized with Christmas treats, home-comfort foods, and one-too-many-drinks here and there. All this, in turn, might have given your skin a look that you are not too proud of! But don’t rush out to bulk-buy the cheapest concealers and correctors, yet.…
Arlo loves anything that changes shape, so when a parcel of Bakugan toys arrived and he opened it up to find lots of BakuBalls inside along with the Bakugan Armored Alliance Battle Arena he got pretty excited! What is Bakugan? Bakugan started life as an animated TV series about creatures called ‘Bakugan’ and their owners, who do brawls with them. …
Well March has been a bit of a disaster hasn’t it! The buzz-words of the month are definitely ‘Social Distancing’, ‘Lockdown’, ‘home learning’ and ‘C0ronavirus’. It’s definitely a month that nobody will forget. As usual I tried to escape reality by sleeping more and reading more, and have been quite successful in both, and less so in teaching the children…
We all love jigsaw puzzles in this house, they used to be reserved for a post school treat or a Sunday afternoon activity after we’d been out for the day. However as none of us are going anywhere much during these lockdown times puzzles have become more of a regular occurence in our house these past few weeks. A great…
Trolls World Tour, the sequel to the first Trolls movie has been released to watch now, skipping the cinema release so that we can all watch at home! My kids, Athena especially, have been waiting for this for ages, and we would have seen it at the cinema during the Easter holidays. But due to lockdown we’re really pleased it…
I have been pretty lazy with the ‘Me and Mine’ posts that I have been so good with over the years. Normally I share a photo of our family at the end of each month but this year it just hasn’t happened until now, a quarter of the way through the toughest year ever (as 2020 will probably be forever…
