Managing Your Post-Pandemic Financial Health
Collaborative Post¦ Many businesses have been able to manage activities through the pandemic by introducing remote working environments for their staff, customers, and suppliers. Unfortunately, if your business couldn’t make it work remotely, you might have found yourself out of a job for an extended period of time. Being on furlough doesn’t guarantee you can recover your full salary, which is why many individuals who were still employed during the pandemic might be facing debt.
Self-employed professionals have found it hard to make ends meet as governmental grants were not always sufficient to replace your post-pandemic income.
Added to this is the ever-rising cost of living. With trade barriers in place, increased shipping costs and good shortages, and soaring energy and petrol prices the cost of living is going up around the world; impacting the finances of everyone. Even savvy investors are feeling the pinch and wondering “why is coinspot so expensive?” so are now researching for more cost-effective currency exchange options when trading!
So what can you do to speed up the recovery process when the pandemic has badly hit your finances?
Week Three: 30 Days Wild 2021
Wow, it feels like June has gone so fast! It feels like yesterday I updated you on how week 2 of our 30 Days Wild had gone, now here I am with week 3! This week felt a bit more challenging. I think this is partially because the weather has been inclement once again, which has somewhat limited what we can do. While I don’t mind going outside in the rain, having a young baby who hates getting rain on his face doesn’t really lend itself to that! We’ve also been doing more rewiring this week so my husband has been busy as when he hasn’t been busy with his day job he’s been helping my brother with some of the elements of that. While in a nicer world I’d happily go for a walk in the woods on my own with Autumn and Reuben to do some of the activities in mind, the harsh reality is that I can’t.
Still, here is what we’ve been doing in spite of the challenges!

Book Reviews: Growing Pains & Where The Heart Is
Gifted¦ I have recently been sent two lovely books to read with Autumn that I’d like to share with you all. These are Where The Heart Is by Irma Gold and Susannah Crispe and Growing Pains by Alison McLennan and Melissa Johns. Everyone knows how important is is for children to have a good understanding of English, maths and science by the time they leave school. However, I think one of the most important things you can teach your child is to be kind. Both these books are aimed at 4-8 year olds and beautifully support that notion.
My Wedding Day: Finding the dress of my dreams!
Life is SO busy with two children. I recently wrote about my wedding invitations and how this June I was planning on FINALLY writing about all aspects of my wedding. Yep, just like I plan to every year! Yet here we are on the 18th of June and I’ve literally written that one post still. Oops! So here I am, attempting to write about another aspect of my wedding while Reuben sleeps and I try to ignore the pain of mastitis. Today I’m focusing on the dress! Arguably the most exciting part of the wedding. Like most little girls, I used to spent hours daydreaming about what my wedding dress might be like. I’d lay on the floor of my room drawing sweetheart necklines and big skirts, yet the dress I actually chose wasn’t like that at all!
Week Two: 30 Days Wild 2021
After a successful first week of 30 Days Wild, I think I speak for us both when I say we were excited to start a new week of fun nature related activities! Already, I have noticed that Autumn is paying attention to nature more. Me too, actually. I have noticed she’s becoming braver regarding nature too. She’s not quite as scared of bees as she was and is definitely getting more hands on. Here’s what we’ve been up to over the last week.
Living plastic-free for a day
Contains sponsored links¦ As you’ll know if you’ve been reading my blog for a while, plastic is something that has been really concerning me for some years now. While we’ve already made lots of swaps n our daily life, I can’t help but feel like I could be doing more sometimes. With Autumn and I doing 30 Days Wild currently, it felt like the perfect time to set ourselves the challenge of going plastic-free for a day. We went to a We went to a zero-waste shop the day before for a few essentials to prepare a little, but I decided that we’d mostly give it a go with things that we already had.
