Summer can be a beautiful time if you prefer warmer weather. It is also often the season when you can find it difficult not get work done and not be distracted. If you work from home, the sun streaming in and the call of your garden can make you want to abandon your work and go outside. Sometimes, you might be able to get your work done outdoors, but often that just means more distractions. To make it a little easier and pleasant to work at home during the summer, giving your home office a bit of a revamp could be what's needed.

Let’s face it: your bathroom is one of the most important rooms in your house. It’s one of the most regularly used, and it needs to suit exactly what your family’s needs are. Here are some tips to help...

At least 100 years ago, you had some peace and quiet right at the end of the night, but now, with some bright screen flickering in the corner of your eye, you can wake up feeling more tired than when you went to bed. And it’s a constant battle for every mom in the world, but technology can be making our job as a parent tough sometimes. Stress is something we appear to be wired for much more now, because of that overused sentence “information overload.” But it all adds up. Stress is the first stage of a troubled life. It is something that can lead to anxiety, then depressive episodes, and it’s something to really keep your eye on. And where is the best place to start?
