World Book Day is just around the corner and this year my child decided to really test my crafting skills. Would he go as the train driver from one of his favourite books? Oh no. How about the park ranger from another? No way! Could he go in something we had lying around the house? Nope. He HAD to be Mr Tickle no question about it. After a bit of Googling I realised that this was one World Book Day costume that would require a full make and here is how I brought Mr Tickle to life…

Review | Discovering The Sustainable Style of IDENTITY LINGERIE

Posted on March 2, 2024October 8, 2024 by Emma Reed

Sourcing sustainable clothing has become a big focus for me in the last few years but from research and experience, it isn’t always the easiest thing to achieve or get right. There are many brands out there “claiming” to be more eco-friendly or ethical but when it comes to the crunch, most seem to be simply greenwashing their consumers and so, I have found that the best way to shop sustainably is secondhand. Now, for most clothing items this is fine, however, I do draw the line at preloved underwear and nightwear, which I am sure many of you will agree with, so what can we do in this situation? Thankfully, there are more and more sustainable and ethical brands popping up and offering a wide range of beautifully crafted, timeless, fun and size-inclusive pieces in the lingerie space and I have recently been introduced to one such brand – IDENTITY LINGERIE. I was sent some of their lovely items to try out and review so let’s see what I thought…

The experience of volunteering your time, energy, and talents to various philanthropic efforts is an enriching one that may not only leave a positive impact on your life, but on your community as well. Your initiative can go a long way in improving the quality of life of others—especially those who are in need. Moreover, giving back also lets you get to know the people who comprise your community, whether it be in your city, school district, or parish church.

As a parent, the last thing you want to hear is that your child is being bullied or harmed in any way. Whether they’re being bullied in person or online (known as cyberbullying), the effects of these experiences can be far-reaching, extending to their mental, physical, and emotional health. Without the right guidance, support, and intervention, these impacts can carry into adulthood, making it crucial to confront situations involving bullying with empathy and encouragement.

However, children may not always be open with their parents, leading many to feel powerless in providing support. Kids may also keep quiet out of fear of being labeled a snitch or making the situation worse by telling someone. Therefore, it’s essential for parents to recognize the signs of bullying, as this is what can allow them to intervene.

In this article, we’ll cover several potential indicators of bullying as well as what you can do to help your child through these situations.

How you choose to parent your child is completely up to you and anyone else with a rightful place in their life. While there is no standard or one-size-fits-all way to parent, certain parenting styles are healthier than others. For example, abuse and neglect are both detrimental to a child’s development, meaning that any parenting style involving these factors is considered unhealthy.

Being consistent as a parent is vital, as kids need structure while they grow up. Therefore, it can be helpful to understand the various types of parenting styles and how each one can contribute to a child’s growth and well-being. In this article, we’ll explore the four different types of parenting styles and discuss the potential advantages and disadvantages of each.

Reducing household waste is a passion of mine and we have dedicated the last few years to tackling areas of our home and lifestyle in order to remove single-use items and replace them with reusable alternatives. Once you start looking into it, the choices just seem to keep coming and honestly, it becomes a fun task that you can almost become obsessed with. One area where significant progress can be made is in the kitchen, where single-use products are commonly found. From plastic washing-up bottles to clingfilm, plastic freezer bags and surface wipes, not to mention the huge selection of cleaning products but the one I want to cover today is kitchen roll. Now, I am sure you are thinking “Kitchen roll?! Surely that’s not an environmental issue” but yes, yes it is. However, there is a solution – making the switch to reusable kitchen roll.
