Here is my gift guide for Christmas 2018. There are so many gift lists doing the rounds, telling you what the must-have toy of the year is, or promoting certain offers, one day deals and must buys. Kids don’t want expensive gadgets, they’d rather have your time. I’m not saying not to treat the kids, …
We don’t do Halloween in our household. It’s just not for us but I’m not bothered if people do. Each to their own. What I do want to say is be aware of the doors you are knocking on this Halloween. Not everyone wants to answer the door, not everyone wants to be involved in …
When you’re a freelancer, you sometimes think you should take all the work you can get. This isn’t the case. I recently was contacted by a company who wanted to enhance their business and wanted me to help. This sounded great, the company appeared awesome, the owner seemed nice, everything was good.

We had an awesome few days away for our summer holiday earlier this month. There’s nothing like switching off from the world and enjoying family time. We did have one day where everything seemed to go wrong. The weather quickly changed when we were rock-pooling and it dumped a load of rain on us, it …
I haven’t been paid or given anything by Shark for this review or blog post. We recently purchased a Shark Vacuum Cleaner. The Shark Powered Lift-Away Vacuum Cleaner with DuoClean. It arrived within about 22hours on next day delivery and it was really easy to put together. So far it has been fantastic. I can’t believe how …
