Looking to get stuck into some home improvements? Want to add value to your home? Here are a few key things you should be doing right now:
While we would all like more space for our kids to grow up in, that is not a luxury we can all afford. With the price of rent rising in the premier metropolitan areas, living in a tight space with children is fast becoming the norm for many. Does that mean it is a bad situation to be in? Not necessarily, if you know how to maximise the space which you do have. Let’s go through a few tips and tricks to do just that, as suggested by experts of both interior décor and child psychology.
A playroom is one such area of the house where the children are allowed to run loose and indulge in their own sense of fun. It is therefore important that this space is made as colorful and imaginative as possible to satisfy the needs of the toddlers.
Whether you have a large or a small bedroom, there are always times when you wish you had some extra space. People accumulate more things than we need, and the bedroom is often the place where we leave things to pile up. If you want to maximize your bedroom space without having to part with everything, then here are four simple ways to accomplish that.
Autumn has finally arrived and is in full swing! I always love autumn as I enjoy the crisper clearer air, the changing colour of trees and of course you don’t get crazy daylight at 10 pm which makes it difficult for the kids to sleep! With the October half term fast approaching, Vita Coco kids has set us a mission to find the best autumn picnic spots across the UK.
My children might be 5 and 6, but they are still very much in love with their teddy bears. When they heard that they were allowed to bring their own unique bears out for a picnic, they were over the moon! I have never allowed them to take their bedtime bears outside of the house, just in case they lost it and as most parents will know, a child’s favourite cuddly toy is so difficult to replace!
So a day before, Mr C and the children went to our local Waitrose to buy the groceries for our teddy bears picnic. They bought a few packets of ham, tomatoes, a loaf of bread, strawberries, cake, Capri-Sun and others. I then made a lot of ham, jam and egg sandwiches and packed our bag with fruits, snacks and plenty of drinks!
“This post is an entry for 42 Days of Summer Linky Challenge sponsored by McVitie’s BN.”
I recently signed up with Britmums to participant in this 42 Days of Summer Linky Challenge with McVitie’s BN biscuits. As part of the challenge, I received a packet of new BN biscuits in chocolate and in raspberry flavours. I had not seen or tried them before. They are a very new biscuit to me but according to some of my blogger friends, BN had been in the UK market before. I wish I had known about them earlier – they are so delicious! Both of my children adore the chocolate flavour. In fact, the children and I managed to finish the whole pack before Mr C had a chance to try one! Oops! Each biscuit comes with a cheeky wink which looks appealing. The biscuit is very crunchy and smells gorgeous. I would recommend them and personally will be buying them again.
F is fun! Don’t you think so? We had another brilliant day again. This time around, we had daddy joining in and having fun with us. So our summer activities today is the letter F!
