Teaching Your Children Problem Solving

Posted on April 23, 2018April 20, 2018 by Nigel

I have always believed it’s so important to teach our children from a very young age to problem solve, but I’m not talking only about maths problem or a word search in a magazine although they are problems that will definitely teach them lots and help with their academic education. Life isn’t only about problem solving when it comes to education Our children need to learn that problem solving will be in every part of their lives so teaching them young problem solving techniques is vital. It will equip them though the minefield of those difficult teenage years, we all… [Read More]

So finally the beast of the east has left us, and the skies have turned blue, and there is a strange yellow circle called the sun shining brightly, and quite honestly it feels like it’s been six months since we last saw the sun. No wait, it is six months since we last saw it, haha! So yesterday we decided to meet up with family and visit our local park for a picnic and a day out for some fun. Our local park is about a ten minute drive from where we live. It is fantastic to have a park… [Read More]

When buying a car, there are many things to consider. You need to decide on what model is suitable for your needs, the colour and size of your vehicle, the vehicle features, among others. Then, look for car loan offers that will be perfect for your financial capacity. A car is going to be one of the most significant items you’ll ever purchase.

While the entire process may seem like a daunting task, there are simple steps you… [Read More]

Co-Sleeping And Twins Seriously What’s The Problem

Posted on April 19, 2018April 18, 2018 by Nigel

Our twin girls are six years old and yes! Shock horror they still find their way into our bed most nights of the week, does it bother me well quite honestly not a lot. This is my reasons why? Nothing in this world can prepare you for having twin babies, two demanding babies who each want feeding, a nappy change and want a nap, and this is usually happening at the same time.

Do You Trust Your GP’s Practice?

Posted on April 18, 2018April 24, 2018 by Nigel

Regular readers of my blog will know that I have been suffering from high blood pressure since Christmas. This has resulted in two incidents of me being hospitalised, and on the second occasion this resulted in me having a stroke, which, as I have written, was a very scary and frightening experience. My open question is, could it all have been avoided? I think it could have been had my GP’s practice just taken a bit more time to monitor me properly, instead of giving me a tablet and sending me on my way, because quite honestly it wasn’t good… [Read More]

The Kids Have A New Home: My Sunday Photo

Posted on April 15, 2018April 14, 2018 by Nigel

Yes! We have had enough of our twins, and built them a new home outside in the garden. It is without question kid safe, weatherproof, and of course summer is coming so the nights will be warmer. The perfect thing about our girls new home is that it has locks so there is no escaping, although you may notice that there is only one of them in there at the moment. My wife is running around the garden with a net trying to catch the other one at the time of this photo being taken! There is also a hatch… [Read More]
