It doesn’t matter how old you are, you always make a resolution at New Year. Even when you don’t tell people, there’s every chance that you will have an internal resolution; one that you keep to yourself and don’t tell anyone. New Year’s resolutions are there to help us to affect positive changes, to give …
It’s amazing how time flies so fast. Why, it feels just like it wasn’t too long ago that summer was here! Now we’re headed for the colder months, and boy can you feel the air getting nippy. What with all the holidays lined up one right after the other, the kids and I are going …
Want to make some changes in your life? Ready to take on a new challenge? The new year is traditionally a time to embrace positive changes. But with data showing that we rarely make it past 12th January (otherwise known as “Quitter’s Day”) without giving up on our resolutions, it seems they are harder to …
Decorating the way you want to is something we should subscribe to a little more often. Instead of sticking to one style or another, being able to switch back and forth between all of the interior styles we like will make the empty shell of our houses feel a lot more like home. It doesn’t matter …

We all understand that it’s necessary to look after ourselves.

But how we actually go about this can sometimes be wrong: we think that we have …
Some people are content to rent forever, of course. And to be honest, as we discussed here, there are reasons why renting a home is sometimes better than owning one. You have less to pay on maintenance costs, for starters. So, if you enjoy the benefits of renting property, then fine. If it works for …
It’s harder than ever for people to save up the money for a house deposit and we’re always hearing about rising numbers of people renting instead of buying. It’s usually talked about as a bad thing, but that isn’t always the case. A lot of people do want to own their own house and it …

It’s hard to consider something more cute than a young puppy. A young kitten perhaps, but while they are adorable there’s just something mischievous and endlessly curious about a little puppy running about the place and becoming more comfortable in the home he occupies. Introducing a puppy to your home can bring your family together, …
Summer seems to be over, the flowers and vegetable gardens are quickly loosing their vibrancy and we seem to be spending more time indoors than enjoying our outside spaces. But, just because the weather is turning cooler, doesn’t mean we should hibernate inside. We should still be getting outside, as a family, and enjoying our …
