Bop It is a super-fast reaction game that is super fun and hilarious! This is our first time playing Bop it and all of us really enjoy it! We love the concept of the game and the musical beats. To play this game, simply pull the blue handle and select the game. There are six games to choose from (each with a solo and a multiplayer PASS IT version): Action, Action Pass It, Classic, Classic Pass It, Beat Pop and Beat Pop Pass It. We tend to play the solo action game as there are more moves and easier to play.
Change4Life 10 Minute Shake Ups
This summer, the Change4Life 10 Minute Shake Ups with Disney are back again to encourage children to get the 60 minutes of moderate to intense physical activity they need each day with fun 10 minute bursts of activity.

Both of my children were so excited with the activities and have been wearing their watch to time themselves!

How to invest in your children’s future
How to invest in your children’s future? Financial wisdom states that the earlier you invest for your future the better. Why is that? What’s the harm in waiting a while until you have a bit more money or until your circumstances change? Well let’s consider a hypothetical situation with two investors, John and Julia. John starts investing £100 per month at 30 years old and keeps going until retirement at 65. Assuming a rate of projection of 5%, John would have a nest egg of £111,298 at retirement. Julia invests the same amount but starts earlier at 18 years old. At retirement, Julia would have invested an additional £14,400 more than John but her nest egg would be worth more than double that of John’s at £219,489!
