When you’re in debt, life can be stressful. The matter of money is constantly on your mind, and you find yourself wondering if you can afford to pay for all of the essentials each month. Unfortunately, it’s now easier than ever to get yourself into debt because of how easy it is to get into overdrafts, take out loans, and […]
Many people struggle in the new year because Christmas time is over and now there’s nothing large to look forward to (except going back to work, of course). The end of 2017 was pretty crap for me because I was jobless, and I lost a loved one to an awful battle with cancer. To be honest, 2018 was looking pretty […]
A motor vehicle can be the key that unlocks a world of possibility. From everyday school runs made easy and having a vehicle to transport big family-sized shopping loads, to impromptu trips across the country. However, they can be expensive to buy and run – the AAA reports that the average car costs $8,500 a year. With that thought in mind, […]
For the first time in over a decade (jeez I feel old) I had the opportunity to go and see my favourite band live. Luckily for me, Mr Pie loves Enter Shikari as much as I do, so as soon as we saw the tickets available much earlier this year we booked to see them in Birmingham. Here was the […]
It’s that magical time of year again where we participate in the tradition of gift giving and drinking way too much mulled wine. Personally, I love Christmas. I was lucky enough to have an incredible experience of it when I was a child, and I still get excited every year. Not all of us are that lucky though. Mr Pie […]
The doctor’s office: usually thought of as a white room with a clinician in, sitting in the middle, an air of authority around them, and you as the patient they don’t want to see. However, this idea is entirely wrong, and realising this is the first step in making sure your next doctor’s trip isn’t as bad as the last […]
Staying fit can be a challenge for anyone, what with the demands placed on our time and energy by work, family obligations, and the need to decompress with our favourite hobbies when we finally get a moment to take a breather. For parents of young children, a whole new dimension gets added to the picture, and it can seem hard […]
As the temperature drops, moms all over the country will be scrambling for ideas on how to keep their kids warm, safe, and entertained indoors the whole winter. While it’s healthy to have a bit of a walk every now and then in the snow, there’s something attractive about the idea of staying indoors and snuggling on the couch with […]
You make me laugh, You make me cry, You make me teach, When constantly asking “why?”. You make me better, You make me proud, You remind me of me, Especially when you’re being loud. You’re so honest, You’re so loved, Sometimes I honestly think You were sent down from above. You love your family, You […]
Today I had to deal with one of the worst things a parent can see their child go through; fear. Dinky had an ophthalmology appointment today and although this isn’t the first time he has been to have his eyes checked, he was not happy during the whole car journey there. My Dad took us, and normally when he’s around […]
