Surprisingly, it’s not just about eating the right foods, being healthier is also about planning and motivation.

Make a Statement at the Beach with Waist High Swimwear

6:48 PM

The summer is a great time to go to swimming. It's hot and we all want to cool off at the beach or poolside. Finding the right outfit for the beach can be hard for most people. For those of us with curvier body shapes, it can be even more difficult to find great swimwear. Many stores don't carry plus size swimwear because they simply don’t feel the need to cater to the plus-size demographic. This is of course ridiculous since the average waist size in the United States is a 12. This doesn't have to stop you from finding clothes made just for you if you are on the curvier side. Fashionable waist high swimwear is just a click or swipe away thanks to online retailers. You can buy any swimwear for all body types.

A new parent will constantly be worried about their children. They’re experiencing everything for the first time, and of course, the ultimate fear is becoming a ‘bad’ parent.

Talking to your children is very important, but if you’re finding it difficult (as many do) read this article for some key questions that will lead you in the right direction

As parents, it’s natural to worry about our children. We worry about what they eat, drink and what they get up to in their spare time. We worry that they’re not getting enough sleep and that they are struggling in school. We then worry about bigger things like what happens after school or the state of their overall health. These things can make being a parent very stressful indeed. Though these fears are still just the tip of the iceberg. A New parent will constantly be worried about their children. They’re experiencing everything for the first time. You might think that after your first child things get easier. Unfortunately, it doesn’t. New parents might think that once you’ve got had your first kid the situation becomes more simple. The truth is that new problems always arise that you’ve never dealt with before. No child is the same, and that’s avoiding the fact that you’ll probably have a boy and then a girl or vice versa.

5:41 PM

If your little one is anything like mine, they love toy cars! But did you know that you can use their favourite toy vehicle as an educational activity as well? Try out some of my ideas below.

Firstly a bit about toy vehicles. Your child may already have their own favourites, there are lots of brands and franchises out there. If they don't, consider the classics like police cars, fire engines and buses. Other good options include accurate replicas like dinky trucks and build your own kits available from Lego. Whichever one you pick, make sure that they are suitable for your child’s age.
