Collaborative Post¦ The moment when you were looking for a family car to fit all the members of your growing family seems to be not so far in the past yet. Now, suddenly, your teenager is asking about their first car. And, as the topic comes up, it is only a matter of time before they will be cruising around in their greased lightning – even if that’s no more than a small, second-hand Skoda.
While this is a crucial moment in the life of your teeneger, they are not likely to be paying the whole car and fuel in full, so you should be ready for a draining moment – from a financial and emotional point of view. Here are some tips for living this moment with serenity.

Collaborative Post¦ For those major life events, such as weddings and baptisms, you will want to look at the things that you need to look at to make sure that things go down without a hitch.
UK Lockdown in our House: Weeks 12 -18
Is this still lockdown? I’m not sure anybody knows quite what it is anymore! I mean, most things are back open, but in another respect things still aren’t ‘normal’. Although, what is normal, anyway? It’s looking pretty likely that things won’t ever be quite the same again, or at least not for a long time. In many respects, we are still acting like we’re mostly in lockdown. This is largely down to the fact that I recently found out I’m pregnant! (This is also the reason my lockdown updates have been abysmal!!) In spite of mostly being at home still, we’ve actually done a lot over the last 6 weeks!
A rainbow after the storm
Trigger Warning: Miscarriage¦ This has been a crazy year for everyone, I know. I don’t think any of us have had quite the 2020 we envisioned! If you’ve been reading my blog for a while, you’ll know that I suffered a miscarriage in early December 2019. A shell of myself, I managed to throw myself into Christmas which helped for some time. However, with festivities out of the way, after my birthday in January, my mood started to fall again. I started having counselling which really helped…and now a rainbow baby has emerged after the storm!
Celebrating a landmark birthday in partial lockdown
Collaborative Post¦ Last Sunday it was my Nan’s 80th birthday. However, in these odd times, our family wasn’t entirely sure how to celebrate it.

In spite of this, we found lots of ways to make her day truly special and memorable!

Divorce delusions: The most common divorce misconceptions
Collaborative Post¦ Sadly, a large percentage of marriages end in divorce. And while it’s safe to say that most couples don’t intend to ever get divorced, when things do begin to turn sour, it can be difficult to understand the upcoming divorce process. Consulting with a family and divorce lawyer like Bridgeport divorce lawyers will help you not only better understand the divorce process but also know your rights in the court of law.
Thanks to a general lack of knowledge and experience in the subject, it can leave many individuals on the backfoot when it comes to filing for divorce and walking away from the relationship with the means and the confidence to start the new chapter of their life. Common misconceptions about divorce can leave individuals thinking that they’re going to walk away with the house, the kids, the car and even without debt. So, you must understand the fundamentals of divorce before you file.
Here we’ll take a look at some of the top divorce delusions and the most common misconceptions about divorce.
Choosing the Right Used Car
Collaborative Post¦ Buying a new car is exciting, even a used one. Most of us are in the market for a new car because we need one. And so this purchase means something more than spending money on something new. It’s a chance for freedom and independence. Your car means that you can visit places more easily, enjoy holidays more cheaply, and work in alternate locations without worrying as much about your commute.
Whether it is your first car or your tenth, it’s a big commitment, and certainly, one that you want to get right. Fail to find the right used car, and you could spend much more than you’ve expected on repairs, find yourself broken down far from home, or just with a car that you don’t love, aren’t comfortable in, and just doesn’t feel right.
Celebrating our 5th wedding anniversary
On Friday, my husband and I celebrated 12 years since we met and our 5th wedding anniversary. It was a bit of a strange one, really. On previous anniversaries we’ve been on holiday or been able to go somewhere for dinner. Of course, with things still being in partial lockdown, those things were out of the question!
