Stop Shouting at your children – in five easy steps….
A while ago now I decided I was shouting at the kids too much and decided to stop shouting (or at least try to) wherever possible and to deal with telling them off in a more effective way.It's not like I shouted at them all the time or anything, I just felt that the amount I shouted was too much and that I wasn't setting a very good example.

My Winter bucket list….
Last September I wrote a bit of a bucket list filled with things I wanted to do or achieve during the Autumn months. I round it quite motivating and as I did quite well and got most things ticked off I decided to do a bit of a bucket list at the start of every season.I cheated a little bit though and split Winter up and did a separate one for Christmas as I had so much I wanted to do in December alone so today I want to share with you my (rest of) Winter bucket list:Someone did mention to me that they thought that a bucket list was just the same as a New Years resolution but I … [Read more...]
