Top 5 Extracurricular Activities for Children*
We all know that kids need to attend school to learn and grow! Or at least they need to have an education here in the UK! However, I’m a firm believer that children also need to do activities outside the classroom to become a well-rounded person. As a kid, my parents never really encouraged extracurricular activities. We were allowed to vegetate at home. Or hang around in bus shelters with our friends and really just do as we pleased as long as we stayed safe. My mum just wanted us to be happy. However as an adult I have very few hobbies and feel like I missed out by not…

I remember before I became a mother telling my friend that I’d always continue to wear fashionable pieces such as skirts and dresses, even after I had my daughter.

The Expense of Going to School*
In England, children start school the September after they turn four. For me, it’s too young. It’s too young to be in school 5 days a week for over 6 hours a day. Not only that but it’s so much more structured from the very start in comparison to when I went but I guess in a way, my daughter needed it. When my daughter started school, I was not prepared for the sheer cost of a child in primary school. Yes, I know from experience that being in University is an expensive business, but I did not anticipate how many hidden costs there would be of a child in…
