Keeping Focused When You Work From Home

Keeping Focused When You Work From Home

Working from home is perfect for me and my family. I have three young children so working for myself means I don’t have to worry about things like; child care in school holidays, being around for the school pick up, getting time off for plays/sports day etc. It gives me the freedom to be there for the things I deem important and would hate to miss. Self employment doesn’t come without it challenges though. It’s scary, taking that leap was so daunting, my working life starts with me and ends with me I work, I earn – if I don’t, I…

Commonly-asked Questions About the Leyland Cypress

Commonly-asked Questions About the Leyland Cypress

How many trees does it take to build a hedge? Ideally, Leylandii need to be planted at three feet apart, especially if you’re planning a tall hedge.

The Sound Of Happy

The Sound Of Happy

Advertorial brought to you by C&G baby club I miss the baby stage I really do; don’t get me wrong my ovaries are well and truly in retirement but I miss my little babies being super cute and staying still. They’re still super cute but now they also answer back, flood the bathroom and draw on my walls – not so cute. I miss the giggles, those little baby giggles that seem to last for hours and hours, usually just brought on by a look in their direction and almost always at bed time when you’re trying to settle them…
