How to Plan Your Own Funeral in Advance

*Collaborative Post

Thinking about your own funeral might feel uncomfortable. But planning it ahead of time can make things easier for the people you love. It gives you control over how you’ll be remembered and removes the guesswork for your family.

Many people assume funerals should only be handled when the time comes. That belief leads to rushed decisions and unexpected costs. Planning early gives you time to think clearly. And it allows you to make choices that match what matters most to you.

Training for The Three Peaks – Month One

As you may have seen in one of my previous posts, myself and a small group of friends and family are going to attempt to climb the Three Peaks at the end of July to raise money and awareness for Men’s Mental Health. This challenge involves climbing Mount Snowdon, Scafell Pike and Ben Nevis within 24 hours (including travel time), which means training is imperative! And as somebody who has let her fitness slip in the last few years and who is now in her 40’s, training really has to be regular and focused. The great thing about me is that I thrive from a challenge and this may well be the kick up the butt I need to get back into shape. What will also help me is documenting my progress so I thought I would not only share updates on our Just Giving Page but also here on my blog.

Why You Should Consider Buying a Portable Clothesline

*Collaborative Post

Today’s busy life does not always leave room for old-school solutions. With more people living in apartments, smaller homes, or frequently on the move, the way we manage everyday household tasks has completely changed. Drying laundry, for instance, has evolved from sun-drenched backyards to improvised setups near heaters and windows. And that is where a portable clothesline proves its worth, not only as a practical drying option but as a smart solution for modern living.
