Screen Time - The Educational Side
.. Sound familiar?
Technology today is part of our kids world, we can't really get away from it for good. Truth is, they were born in a technological era which shows no signs of slowing down. We know that a lot of parents try to avoid letting their children use laptops, tablets and phones due to a fear of the world wide web, where a simple miss click could dive them into a world they are not yet read to see.
Although too much screen time is not good, I think everyone gets the “I’m bored” complaint at least 3 times a day in different ways. Always when you just need an hour to decompress, start supper or read a book. It is at times like this when you can whip out the tablet and let the kids play quietly whilst you have your time and crack on.
We have found just the thing for you! This fantastic little site to keep the kids entertained and learning at the same time, not to mention it’s completely free!
PBS Kids (https://pbskids.org/) is such a great site as it explores everything from colours and shapes to words and animals. It is super interactive and easy to use, even for the small mischief makers.

December Survival Guide: 5 ...
December is here! The month where the mental load triples, the budget shrinks, the kids get louder and the house fuller. Moms are expected to “rest” while working harder than they have all year – plan the gifts, stock the cupboards, curate magical memories, host family, keep everyone fed and somehow still find time to move the mischievous Elf.
Your mom-guilt grows with every minute the kids are on screens and your anxiety loops like Boney M in the supermarket.
But what if this December didn’t swallow you whole?
What if you stepped into the holidays with a lighter mental load, a realistic plan and the kind of peace you haven’t experienced since 2015? December doesn’t have to break you, in fact, with a few smart tweaks, you can even enjoy it.
