It’s that time of the year when everyone starts making New Year’s resolutions and for the most part people aim to lead a healthier lifestyle in the upcoming year. One great way to do this is to upgrade your usual daily coffee or regular tea for a healthier green tea instead. Green teas are full of health benefits and loaded with anti–oxidants. Plus, if you think you’ve tried green tea because you’ve simply purchased a box of tea bags from a supermarket, think again.

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:

Ever wondered how much of an impact veganism really has on the environment?
A leading vegan charity calculated the total savings by the 10,000 people who ate vegan for a week after signing up to its seven-day challenge, and the results are astonishing.

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.

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.

Nowadays we unfortunately live in a very toxic environment and this toxicity is sadly also in our homes. We often think of pollution as something outdoors, perhaps fumes from car exhausts we are forced to breathe in if we want to walk down the street, chemicals from other people’s cigarette smoke, smoke rising from factories in the distance. But what we often forget about are the chemicals we choose to expose ourselves to day in day out in our own home environments.
Aerosols, air freshener, laundry products, bleach and many everyday household cleaning products are filled with toxic irritating nasties that we should really avoid. Many of the harsh ingredients in these products can cause short term side effects such as headaches, skin irritations, nausea and more. The long term side effects are also a concern. Regular inhalation of the fumes from these products cannot be good for us. The red poison, danger and warning signs on the labels are enough to make me stop and think about what I am breathing in, letting touch my skin and pouring away into the environment.
Luckily natural household cleaning products are becoming more and more widely available. This means we are no longer forced to use highly toxic potentially health threatening versions and can now choose to have a less chemical filled home. Sure, they may be a little bit more expensive, but for the sake of our health, our children’s health and protecting the environment, this little extra cost is surely worth it?

Four year olds absolutely love helping around the house and as parents we should take advantage of this before they are teenagers who don't want to help with a thing! Encouraging your child to help with food preparation can instill a love of cooking and healthy eating from a young age. There are lots of simple recipes a four year old can help with. For chopping and slicing, buy a Kiddy Kutter child safe knife - these saw the food, but are unable to cut a child.
We recently cooked a vegetarian chilli together and I'll share the recipe with you here.
