There is nothing we like more as a family than playing games together and although we play a really wide variety of games, we’ve never really played traditional board games before. So when Jaques of London sent us a couple of their products to review the children couldn’t wait to start playing.

Space is one of our children’s favourite things and I’m sure they’re not alone. Space is something so many children love and so we often look for space themed gifts when buying for our children or their friends for Christmas, birthdays or any other occasion through the year. It’s often hard to think of gifts that aren’t just the typical mainstream toys so I thought it might be nice to put together a few ideas to help you find the perfect space gifts for the children in your life.

Hay fever is so common and I personally know so many people who suffer with it, including Dave and the kids. One in four people in the UK have hay fever and it’s often under recognised and poorly managed too. It’s something we have learnt to live with as a family but did you know you can get an an actual hay fever diagnosis?

Do you have any Christmas traditions that make you smile whenever you think about them? Well, the whole of Christmas is like that for me, it’s my favourite time of the year. Even so, there are some parts of Christmas that make me extra happy and they are always some of our fondest memories in the years afterwards too.

It’s no secret that I absolutely love Christmas. It’s been my favourite time of the year ever since I was a child. After last Christmas, where we were locked down just a couple of days before and had our plans change suddenly, I am planning to make this Christmas as special as possible but I don’t want to blow the budget. I want to have the best Christmas we can but within our means.
Inspired by the O2 Christmas Sale, I’ve put together a few ideas of how to have a great Christmas without breaking the bank.

At the start of the month I was invited to the media preview event for the launch of the Language of Fertility campaign. It’s been created to change the way people talk about fertility and I found the launch event eye opening and inspiring in equal measure.

Have you ever wanted to learn something new, further your education or retrain in a new field? It can be really hard as an adult to work out where to start when it comes to changing your career, expanding your knowledge or gaining formal qualifications.
I’ve always thought that going back to college, enrolling on a course or learning a new skill would be really expensive, meaning that I’ve always fallen at the first hurdle, put off by the expected cost. But, did you know that The Skills Network has dozens of funded courses available for you to start, free of charge, whenever works for you?

It will come as no surprise that I’ve gained weight over lockdown. After such a challenging year, 70% of people have put on weight and I know that, as lockdown started to ease, I didn’t feel healthy at all. I had spent the pandemic finding comfort in food, hardly leaving the house and immersing myself in books and TV. We did what we could to get through lockdown but, once we got some of our freedom back, I wanted to make changes and return to my happy, healthy lifestyle.

What do you think of when you imagine your dream holiday abroad? For me, it’s sun, sand, quality family time and a cocktail or two in the evening whilst enjoying the local entertainment. From Greece to Jamaica, Mauritius to Mexico, there are always so many cocktails to enjoy on your travels and a whole world of history and culture to immerse yourself in too.
