Blogging can be tough sometimes. In an online world where we are opening ourselves up to constant criticism we didn’t ask for, trolls and unwanted advice, it can be quite draining and negative sometimes. Plus there’s so much advice out there, you might be confused with how to blog or what to blog about. It might all seem a little overwhelming. But I say, to hell with this! Blogging should be positive. More positivity please!
Let’s build each other up, not break each other down.
Let’s ignore all the unwanted advice and follow our own dreams.
Let’s do what we want to do because we have the freedom to and it makes us happy.

Technology always moves so fast and it’s crazy to think when I was a child there were no iPads, no iPhones, not even a computer! Yep, you might be thinking I’m ancient by now, but I’m only 32. I didn’t have a laptop or the internet until I was in my twenties! We never had one at home when I was growing up and it was all kind of a new thing. Even my senior school had only just started putting in computer rooms and most of us were like ‘why would we need to use a computer?’ Ha!
My children are already whizzes on the iPads at ages five and two. It’s quite crazy, but also a sign of the times as no doubt it’s going to be imperative for most to know how to work them. I’m sure they’re going to take over our lives even more in the future, which we’re already beginning to see with the likes of voice-activated home hubs like Alexa.
There’s also a lot of negativity around children using technology so much. We sometimes depend on it a little too much to entertain our children. After all it’s an amazing way to keep them entertained and calm them if they’re being crazy! We still encourage our children to get outdoors as much as possible. It’s important to keep in touch with nature and for the children to invent their own games as well as keep active in the fresh air.
Outdoor activities don’t seem to have changed too much since I was a youngster. There are those crazy hover board things, which don’t actually hover, but that’s all I’ve really noticed that’s any different. It’s still kind of a skateboard, just with a few additions! I wonder if technology will ever catch up and take over outdoor play with some crazy inventions, or perhaps the good old fashioned ways to play outdoors will always remain.
Here are outdoor activities I enjoyed as a child and my children will too:

I have to share this text with you as I can see how easy it is to accidently get scammed by people pretending to be from your bank! I would have been close to being fooled if this text was actually from one of my banks!

We all know how interior design presents us with plenty of weird and wonderful ways to decorate our homes.

So what are the most popular bedroom designs out there, and what it is about these designs that make them so attractive?

One of the biggest struggles we’ve faced, whilst doing up our home for three years, is not being familiar with the true cost of building work and home improvements. Not knowing anyone personally in the trades we’ve needed, has meant we have to take the word of the builders who provide us with quotes. With programmes like Cowboy Builders in the back of our minds, we’re always sceptical of what we’re told and whether we are being ripped off. This is the first home we have bought and renovated so we feel very naïve and have nothing to compare anything to. Luckily there is a brilliant UK based website called Job Prices who provide a comprehensive online guide into home improvement pricing.

The kitchen is often considered the hub of the home. It’s one of the most used rooms in the house, so it makes sense it’s one of the first rooms homeowners consider renovating.
However, kitchen renovations aren’t cheap. So, if you don’t have a few thousand pounds to spare, you may think you don’t have the option to decorate. The good news is, it’s possible to completely revamp your kitchen with just a few new accessories. This means, even those on a tight budget can do something right now to improve the look of the room.
Below, you’ll discover some of the best accessories to invest in if you want to revamp the kitchen on a budget.

There seems to be a common complaint amongst parents that they don’t have enough time for exercise once they have children. While that may be true to a certain extent and we parents can no longer partake in the long after work gym sessions we enjoyed before children, we just need to be inventive and realise ways we can exercise with our children instead. Here are some fun ways you can keep fit with your young kids.

Jetting off to Prague, London or Barcelona and wondering what you should pack? Unlike beach escapes where you can throw a few bikinis and a pair of flip flops in a case, city holidays need a carefully considered wardrobe.
City breaks are often more action-packed than beach breaks. With the wrong clothing, your trip could be a disaster — blisters and sunburn anyone? Thought not! We are here to help — take a look at our essential city break packing checklist.

We are all creatures of habit to some degree. We keep our keys and sunglasses in certain places so that we don't have to look for them. We file e-mails and documents in specific folders. We prepare shopping lists. We handle the simplest tasks without thinking, such as brushing our teeth before going to bed at night, walking the dog after dinner, and cleaning the bathrooms every Friday morning.
