we all need to put the phone down!

Hello, these days all we seem to do with our spare time is check our phones constantly. 
We check our Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, pintrest and the list goes on. 
In the last few months i've not posted as much as I used too, unlike this week on my social media, due to too many birthdays and celebrations. But realistacly I'm wanting to keep family life more private, I have many reasons but I just want to upload pictures of my daughter growing up, check in every now and then about my fitness and weightloss and to capture precious moments with friends and family to also just enjoy things more without having my phone glued to my hand. 

Here are my top tips for phone replacements for everyone to enjoy and get used to; 

Turn off notifications 
Set up phone free periods every day 
Get back into your old hobby 
Running 
Walking to places you never knew 
Stand in two places at once 
Reading a book/magazine 
Arrange a meet up with friends catch up face to face not by text
Art and crafts get the kids to join in
Adventure days with the kids 
Local attractions
Build a fort day 
Lush bath 
Become the new sewing bee champ
Morning cafe visit 
Family movie day 
Family lunch date

I hope your enjoyed the read 
Lots of love
Natasha 
xXx

How to Declutter your Home and Keep it that Way

Time to declutter What helps me destress, be productive and keep myself organised is getting rid of all the bits and bobs i keep laying around the house. Yes, that drawer full of crap and all the kids toys that keep mounting up after Christmas and birthdays. I start with 4 bags; charity, selling, friends/family and bin. You don't have to do all of these in one day, pick a room or an area for one afternoon while the baby sleeps and the toddler is settled with snacks and a colouring book and get busy. *Rooms* Bathroom- the cabinets, products you dont use or are out of date, bath toys, etc... Kitchen- food packaging, out of date products, pots and pans you don't use or need to replace Living room- the mounting of paper work hidden in drawers, kids toys, shoes, etc... Dining room- ( same as above) Bedroom- clothes you don't wear, brought but never used, old bed, bedroom drawers and tables, worn out shoes (good quality shoes can be repaired fairly cheaply s

Money saving Hacks | Christmas | 2020 edition |

It's that time of the year...   Remembering all the kids Christmas activities, nursery and school nativity plays, Christmas gift shopping, scheduling friends and family to come over during the holidays, teacher gifts, phonics, cooking the Turkey....   1- Plan Christmas a year to 6 months in advance  I know this sounds nuts but honestly knowing what is happening and who you're visiting makes it a lot easier and less stressful.  2- Buy gifts in the boxing day and January sales. Buy and stock up throughout the year on all the sales. It's amazing how much money you can save by doing this. I manage to save up to £200/£300 by doing this each year.  3- The things you don't think of buying in those sales. Wrapping paper, christmas cards, tape, gift tags, gift bags, Christmas arts and crafts for the kids, stickers, advent calendars (the non-chocolate ones) I brought the Harry Potter charms bracelet advent calendar and frozen 2 advent calendar in Sainsburys

5 creative ways to make extra money

Sell those trousers you've not worn in 3 months and sell the dress you've only worn twice.  Make sure all items are washed, no marks and no rips etc... these are all things that will help you in the selling process. Take lots of photos of the items, compare on other selling sites to make sure you check out your competitors. Good places to sell are facebook pages, Ebay, depop, Amazon, car boot sale and friends or family  2- creative skills  Are you creative with woodwork, clay, jewellery making, etc... if so put these hobbies into a place online and sell them!
