A happy, content and successful life - 5 ways to prepare your kids for their future

I think it’s safe to say that every parent wants what’s best for their children. We work hard so they can have the things they want, we comfort them when they have nightmares and make them feel better when they’re sick. Parenthood doesn’t come with a manual, with most of us simply get by with trial and error, an abundance of love and plenty of hope, but when it comes to preparing your kids for their future, there are some positive steps you can take.

Parenthood is a difficult balancing act, especially when you throw work and other responsibilities into the mix. So, to help you out, I've gathered 5 ways you can prepare your kids for their future and help them to lead a happy, content and successful life.

Everything you need to know about a police car auction

If you’re looking for a good deal on your next vehicle then a police car auction might be the way to go. Many people haven’t heard of police auctions, or have never considered them as a place to purchase a vehicle, but often you’ll find a variety of cars at a good price.

Due to the nature of the auction, vehicles are auctioned off for different reasons, therefore you could be bidding on a fairly new car that was seized due to a failed finance payment. If the idea of a good deal on a car has caught your eye, keep reading and find out everything you need to know about police car auctions.

Staying At YHA Oxford And A Competition For You To Stay Too

Tilly and I travel A LOT to foreign countries because travel is cheaper than travelling in the UK. But recently she asked about an English town and I realised we don't travel enough in this country. When the older kids were little, we travelled the whole country in search of making memories and we had some of our most memorable holidays in the UK. These days, we just hop on a plane or a bus and travel to Europe. So Tilly can tell you a lot about European history, but nothing about the history of her own country. This had to change!

Choosing A Reliable And Trustworthy Car Dealer

Buying a used car is often the only affordable way to get on the road. But you really should research the car before you buy it. After all, you don't want to end up with a car that is prone to breakdowns and spends more time with a mechanic than it does with you. But there are a few things that you need to think about before buying a car. Especially if you are using it to transport your family around in or if you are travelling long distances all of the time.

Even buying a used car that is a year old, you save a lot of money compared to a new one because they lose so much value as soon as you drive a brand new one off the forecourt. But with car salespeople trying to sell a used car, you need to make sure you are making a good purchase and not buying something they need to get rid of. Here are some tips for what to check, when you are buying a used car.

Win A Christmas Hamper

Who is looking forward to Christmas? We are in the house of Tilly. We had such a hard up one last year, but this year we are in a much better situation both financially and mentally. Tilly has made her shopping list and I am lucky that it only has three things on it. She wants Makeup, A Nintendo Switch and a giant LOL Surprise. She has two things from her list and some lego. She still believes in Santa, which is good. I always think it is going to be the last Christmas of her believing but she always surprises me and says she still believes. I don't know, maybe it is her, keeping the magic alive for me. 

Spotting Signs That Your Child Needs a Tutor

There’s no shame in hiring a private tutor to support your child through their exams. In fact, it’s a great way to help them, not only academically, but on a more personal level.

You might not realise at first that your child could use the help of a tutor, which is a why a Sixth Form in Hertfordshire have put together the following information on the signs that parents should look out for.

Human Hair Toppers, Hair Extensions And Wigs

Party season is coming and it's time for people to start thinking about their hair and how they are going to have it for the holiday season. Unfortunately, my own hair isn't very long and I am always wishing it was longer. There is a great alternative to my own hairstyle and that is to add human hair toppers and hair extensions and wigs which can be customized to my own hair.

Until my friend got into hairdressing it wasn't something that I really thought about but now, I know my hair can be completely changed in appearance with the help of some human hair toppers and hair extensions. Human hair extensions are so much easier to work with than synthetic hair extensions because you can treat them like your own hair and use your hair appliances.
