    Ideas to Get More Protein in Your Kid’s Diet*

    July 6, 2017 /

    Getting Little Miss to eat a balance diet has been one of the biggest challenges of being a parent. Everytime I think I’m doing well she turns her nose up at something else. She goes through phases of being happy to try new things and other times she won’t even eat what she’s been eating for months. I’m pretty sure my biggest challenge is not too far down the line, you see LM is an animal lover. A huge animal lover. And as I keep putting it, she’s one farm visit away from becoming a vegetarian. At the moment she doesn’t have any idea where meat comes from so every…

    Small Design Techniques at Home That Make a Big Impact*

    July 4, 2017 /

    Doesn’t it feel amazing when you finally get your own home that you can really put your mark on? If like me you’ve probably lived in rented accommodation for a while where you sometimes aren’t even allowed to move furniture let alone paint the walls! When I first moved into my current home 4 years ago and had free reign on decorating and furnishing it I was over joyed. Although it was an expensive process, for the first time ever it really felt like my home. Over the years I’ve picked up a few design techniques that can really make a big impact when decorating. A Brighter Room is a…

    My 5 Favourite Apps*

    July 3, 2017 /

    The one piece of technology I’m always in fear of losing these days is my iPhone. I’m not onto an iPhone 7, having started at the 4 (prior to that I swore by Sony Eriksson and then a Blackberry). I remember when I phone was just a phone, for calling and texting. Then you could take photos with it and use it to store music, these days however it’s a mini computer. I use it to send and reply to emails, keep up to date with friends and secure work for myself. I’d be completely lost without it. For me what sets my iPhone apart from all other phones is…

    UK Driving Laws and What You Need to Know*

    July 2, 2017 /

    I recently started taking driving lessons again, mainly because I’m desperate to get out of this small town and I feel if I could drive that would be beneficial. It’s been a while since I last tried, long before I even had LM so I’m a little rusty on everything from turning the car on, to the laws of the road. Of course to me a lot are just common sense but from reading some research put together by Van Monster, that doesn’t mean everyone feels the same way. It’s crazy just how many people break driving laws every day but thankfully there are people out there who work hard…

    July 1, 2017 /

    At the rate the population is going we really need to start looking at more ways to be green and reduce our carbon foot print. A few days back I put together an article of three easy ways to get started on being Green and today I’m going to take that a little further by sharing some truly innovative recycling techniques. These aren’t exactly things you can do at home, but it’s definitely information you should be thinking about when you’re deciding whether or not you’re too lazy to separate your metals and glass. Hopefully attitudes towards recycling are starting to change across the world. Research has suggested that Europe…
