It's no secret that I don't have screen time limits for my children and that I'm more relaxed than some parents are when it comes to all things technology related, but that's because I balance it with a lot of other activity.I genuinely feel like limiting screen time makes them want to cram in as much as they're allowed, whereas my trick of offering plenty of other activities that I know they'll want to do, definitely works for us. My children genuinely put aside their electronics when I offer them a fun alternative and over the next seven days I'm going to work with Germolene to show you … [Read more...]
Why not plan a trip to Easter Europe….
Eastern Europe has been a part of Europe that has become quite interesting to tourists around the world but for some reason I've never considered visiting with the kids - until recently when I realised how beautiful some areas were and what great value for money it could be!Before I get into the places that are on my travel wishlist, it's important to note that many of the countries I'm going to tell you about have their own currency and I've been advised that the best way to get a good deal on currency is to buy it before travelling. Apparently the exchange rates can work out quite … [Read more...]
How Healthy is your Lunch?
You all know that I'm a fan of taking my lunch to work for a couple of reasons - the main one being that lunch options where I work are quite limited and anything reasonably priced is a car journey away. I could easily spend £20 a week on lunch if I didn't take my lunch with me!Another reason I like to take my own packed lunch with me is because I don't necessarily make great food choices when I'm hungry and in a hurry. If I'm out and about then I might be tempted by a meal deal which is usually pretty good value - you know the ones I mean where you get a sandwich, a snack like … [Read more...]
My Top 5 Baby Essentials….
One of my friends has just started her maternity leave from work and was busy doing a bit of internet baby shopping when I went round to have some tea and cake with her the other day. She was sat on the settee surrounded with her laptop on her knee, her bank card perched on the arm of the settee and a super long shopping list scribbled down on the back of an envelope!I had to laugh and some of the items on her list, one of which (she'd probably going to kill me for sharing this but I'm sure she's forgotten I even have a blog) was a baby wipes warmer. I had no idea that this was even a … [Read more...]
How to make a pretty teacup candle using tea lights….
Here's my cheat's version of a pretty teacup candle using tea lights and my favourite mug! Super easy, super cute and would make a great homemade gift!I love candles and in the past, I've thought about making my own so I could make something individual that would fit in with my home. The problem with making my own is that it involved buying the things I needed to make them and when I added the costs together with the time and effort involved then I figured I was better off sticking to buying the ones that I LOVE from Primark which smell amazing, last for ages and don't break the … [Read more...]
