Home ownership is a dream for many people, but also one that seems daunting. Houses aren’t cheap, and there are so many factors you need to keep in mind: the sales price, your savings, mortgage payments, utility bills, moving costs, property taxes, etc. If you’re not a natural mathematician, it’s enough to make your head …
The last few months have been so hard for many of us. We’ve had so many things to worry about and deal with that it’s been a little overwhelming at times. I know that I’ve struggled with the whole lockdown situation a few times. We’ve had to isolate ourselves from our friends, family and loved …
Well, what a strange few months it has been! It’s also been a pretty tough time for many of us and 2020 certainly hasn’t turned out the way any of us would have ever imagined. If you’d have told me this time last year that we would have spent months unable to leave the house …
I have three children and I’m happy to admit that some days are a struggle. I know I’m not alone in this. Having children isn’t easy and some days we just need a little reassurance that we’re doing OK. Other days, we could really benefit from getting a little insight into how other Mums do …

But I have developed a few tricks …
2020 has been a really strange year so far! We’ve had the Covid-19 pandemic to deal with and it hasn’t been pretty. Pretty much the whole world has had to deal with some kind of lockdown for at least a few weeks, and many of us have found that we’ve been forced to juggle home …
