There is something special about receiving a bunch of flowers. Whether it is a few daisies collected from the lawn and given to you by your child. A bouquet of flowers for your birthday or anniversary. Or even that reduced bunch that you found smiling at you in the supermarket as you hastily gathered last minute milk and bread supplies.… View Post
It’s summer and with summer come great ideas for home improvements. One of the best ideas for the summer is fixing up your patio, deck or veranda into a little piece of paradise where you can relax and not think about work problems.

One of the things that all of the children seem to love is helping Mr. Boo when he completes the gardening chores. From collecting the weeds he has pulled up, holding the garden bin as he empties the grass cuttings etc. Whilst there are a number of chores they can assist with, mowing the lawn isn’t.

They do also love the prospect of having a sleepover in each other’s bedrooms (thank goodness they have trundle beds available). There is that element of fun when you are breaking from the usual routine.
Sleepovers can be fun for the children, yet tiring and stressful for the parents/adults. However, I’ve been looking at ways you can make the most of sleepovers especially with the summer holidays approaching.… View Post
There is nothing wrong with enjoying the latest trends, especially decor design trends. There, we said it. Not only that, but we meant it too. All too many people tell you to design with longevity in mind, but where is the fun in that? Where is the fun in having a blue cotton sofa and magnolia walls?
