Interesting Things I Found On The Internet This Week

Gosh, how lucky we are to live in an age where everything we want to know and learn is available on the internet at the tippity-tap of our fingertips?! When I think of all of the questions I used to ask my mum was I was younger and how difficult it must have been for her to get access to the answers she didn't know compared with how easily we just 'look things up' now... This week, I came across a few really cool and interesting things on the internet. Some of them, sososo helpful, that I couldn't help but want to share. So, here we are!

How To Choose Your ‘Word Of The Year’

Last week I shared what my word of 2023 was and how staying committed to it changed a great deal in my life. It was the first time I'd ever made a beginning-of-the-year intention and stuck with it. I could fill reams of paper with the New Year's Resolutions I wrote over the years (since I was a teeneager!) and promptly forgot or put down.

How to Make Sure You’re Getting the 7 Types of Rest You Need

Rest doesn’t just occur when we’re asleep. In fact, if we spend our days zipping and zooming from one task to another, multi-tasking and switching between tasks willy-nilly, then when we lay down at night, our brain will probably start swimming through all that happened, might happen, or will happen. Sleep might feel elusive. This is because we haven’t had enough rest during the day or not enough of the right type of rest.

A Christmas Gift Guide for Pre-Teen Girls

I do not like choosing gifts for people. In fact, it's a huge source of stress for me. Will they like it? Do they already have it? What if they pretend to like it? What if they're disappointed? Thankfully, we have a long-held family tradition of sharing gift lists and I'm really grateful we do. With that in mind, and because this pre-teen age is one I find tricky to buy for, I roped Peggy into helping me craft this gift guide for pre-teen girls in the hope it'll help you in the same way our lists help me.

How We Handle Eczema Flare-Ups In Our House

Writing about Eczema might seem like a complete u-turn in the content I ordinarily write but my blogging roots are in a) health and beauty (hello, Beach Bum Beauty Blog circa 2009), and, b) writing about what I've gone through (hello, The Blurt Foundation 2011 - 2022) first-hand or through parenting. So, Eczema, then. Eczema is a skin condition which can cause inflammation in the skin, making it sore, itchy, and dry.
