Back To Black: How To Stay Out Of The Red 04/08/2017
0 Comments Life has got expensive, hasn’t it? Maybe it’s the addition of children that leads us to the conclusion that you need to earn a small fortune just to enjoy your life, or perhaps it is that everything has become so unbelievably expensive. A few years ago, if someone gave you $50 then that was a huge deal, now you can spend double that just doing a top-up grocery run! Read More
Add Comment Keeping The Kids Tame On School Break 04/07/2017
1 Comment Ah, school break. Children break up for the holidays, and then they break your spirits. I’m joking, of course. Everybody loves a little time off, and even if you’re still in work, it’s nice to know that you can spend some quality time going out and about with your kids when you’re at home. Still, whether you’re a parent who’s in work or not, that doesn’t mean you necessarily know what you should be doing to keep your kids tame on their school break. Entertainment always seems to cost money. That’s probably the biggest worry on your mind. You want to keep your kids amused, but everything just seems so expensive, and prices are likely to only rise further given that businesses know when it’s the school holidays. There’s no need to feel so stressed, however, as there are always ways to entertain your children without spending a fortune. Read More

1 Comment Coping Skills: A Husband Who Travels 03/29/2017
1 Comment It’s always tough when your spouse travels for work. In fact - it’s not something that gets easier. You’d think it would, really. You’d think that you’d adapt, feel more at ease, find a way to skip over the missing days with some sense of normality. As anyone who has ever lived with a traveling spouse will know… that just doesn’t happen. You adjust and make the adaptations you need, but really, you’re waiting again for the door to open once more and the excited shouts of: “Daddy’s home!” So rather than being totally fine and at ease with things, all you can strive for is making things as bearable as possible. There are a few tricks you can use to make the distance feel as small as possible, and allow you to click in and out of a routine when the long nights separated from one another feel like they’re going to go on forever.

1 Comment Don't Forget To Live Your Life As A Parent 03/23/2017
2 Comments When you have kids, it can be difficult to still get the most out of life. Everything starts to revolve around them from your spare time to your finances to what you do on your holidays.
