Simple Health Tips To Benefit Your Whole Family
Collaborative Post¦ If you’re a parent, there’s every chance that you put your heart and soul and every ounce of energy you have into making sure your children are healthy and happy. While this is brilliant, it is crucial to look after yourself too. If you can get into the habit of adopting healthy lifestyle changes, you can boost the health and wellbeing of your entire family. Here are some simple steps you can take to benefit everyone.
Why Crossover Hybrids Are The New Family Favourite
Collaborative Post¦ Picture a normal family sedan. It’s 5-doors, not as long as a saloon but not as short as a hatchback. Now picture a 4×4 offroad car and mush them together. What you get is a car that’s known as a crossover. It’s not quite a hatchback although the shortened wheelbase is similar. It’s not a saloon or sedan but does have plenty of boot space. This new crossover type of car is also known as a hybrid because of this merger. It’s by far becoming the new family car because you have the best of both worlds. That begs the question what will happen to the hatchback and the standard non-luxury sedans? Well, if the crossover can continue to evolve it will force those two types to become more and more unique. They no longer fulfil the family duties as well as the crossover type, so now all eyes are on the types of cars that can. Let’s consider what a family needs in a vehicle.
The flip side of the ‘terrible twos’
Anyone with a toddler can tell you that the ‘terrible twos’ really do seem to be a real thing. Not listening, being fussy eaters and throwing tantrums are all common issues. Of course, it’s part of their development and understanding of the world. However, it can be very challenging for us parents! So how do you survive the terrible twos? My way of handling it is to take a breath and remember the last wonderful thing that my daughter did. Although it might not feel like it mid-tantrum, there are lots of great things to be enjoyed about this age (clearly you’ve caught me on a good day!)
Struggling financially? Take some simple steps for a better future
Collaborative Post¦ According to the most recent government statistics, over 14 million people in the UK are currently living below the poverty line. That’s more than one in five of us. To put it into context, that’s twice the number of people who are left handed, and three times the number that are vegetarian.
How strange, then, that while being a “leftie” (from a dexterity perspective – no politics here!) or a veggie are common topics of discussion, poverty is the elephant in the room that nobody wants to talk about. 14 million is too big a number to ignore, though, so if you’re struggling to make ends meet, perhaps it’s time to face the challenge head on.
