How To Update Your Bathroom on a Budget

*Collaborative Post

Whenever we think of home makeovers, most of us probably always immediately think about it being costly, right? Overhauling a room, ripping everything out, starting again… But you really don’t need to change everything to have a big impact and to get a brand new look. Doing up our own home on a budget has been a fun project as we have worked out what can stay and what can go, what can be upcycled, what can be reused or repurposed elsewhere and how we can achieve the aesthetic we want without breaking the bank. I have previously talked about how we updated our kitchen on a budget so now I am going to turn to how to update your bathroom on a budget.

Dealing with Common Child Behavior Problems

*Collaborative Post

Most children are energetic and some are also pretty strong-willed but how do you differentiate between bad behavior and a free spirit? As a parent, you will know your child best and you should begin to learn what is normal for them and what is completely out of character. The way you, as a parent and an adult, responds to any child behavior problems will have a major effect on how likely they will repeat them later.

How To Make a Pond Out of a Planter

*Affiliate Links

I had always wanted to have a pond in my garden but with it being very small plus with having pets and children I just felt as though it was something I couldn’t ever do whilst we were living in our current home. But then I saw a large planter for sale for just £10 on Facebook Marketplace and some ideas started flying around my head. I immediately bought it and began to research how I could transform this into a pond that would fit in our garden, that would suit the style of our garden, that would attract wildlife but would also be safe for the children. It was a project of love. I enjoyed every moment of planning and putting it all together, and now I just cannot get enough of sitting out in my garden looking at my pretty new pond. So I thought I would jot down how I went about creating a pond out of a planter.

As a pet owner, I am always conscious of what we purchase, what waste we produce (or they produce) and how even our beloved animals also come with a carbon footprint – yes, that’s right even our pets contribute towards global warming. In the UK alone we are reported to own around 12 million pets – that’s 44% of us who own a pet of some variety, so what exactly does this look like in terms of emissions?
