Sprucing up the home

Having two small children really isnt very good for keeping a nice looking home, most of my house is a war zone handprints on the wall scuffs on the skirting, dried in food on the sofa.  Our house looks like its been well and truly lived in by a troop of monkeys, how could two small children create so much havoc??

So this year we have decide that we will take in room one after the other and de greb, re paint and update our tired old worn furniture i have been searching on the net and found this adorable Laura chair that would make story time with the girls just perfect i can imagine sitting with one on each knee while i read Charlie and the chocolate factory. 

We are also in need of a dining table as we are still using my craft table to eat dinner from and i love this simple stylish  glass   Atlantico Long Dining Table which is just calling out to be pimped up with some designer bright and beautiful Eames chairs.

 

I cant wait for my husband to come home to show him as i know he will love this new fresh look.  I also love that i can get a next day free delivery.  Finally we can have a home to be proud of.

Keeping up with the kids

Don’t be left in your kids shadow when it comes to playtime. Ensuring you eat the right foods and enjoy gentle exercise is not just important during your pregnancy, but is also advisable to ensure you keep healthy well after the birth.  There are lots of ways to keep fit and healthy but we all know balancing the needs of your children with fitness can be a tough one.   If you struggle to find a spare hour or two in the day, not to mention suitable childcare, in which you can spend at your local gym, a home gym may be your perfect solution.

While subject to space, clearing a spare room or even your garage can provide ample room for a few home machines—just ensure you make the most of your budget and dimensions by investing in quality machines that provide an all-round cardio workout. Gym Company do some great life fitness machines which can be bought on interest free plans, keeping your home training costs equal to that of a monthly gym membership. Accompany your machine with a couple free weights to tone and define those kid carrying muscles and you have the perfect home gym.

If you really are limited in terms of space and budget, an excellent way of burning a few unwanted calories–and tiring the kids out in the process–is brisk walking. Walking is one of the most effective ways to burn post-baby weight. The combination of pushing a baby or toddler in a stroller combined with the natural exercise has great effects on your weight and muscle tone without punishing your body.   Once your kids are out of the stroller, take their hand and walk to the park rather than driving, or find picturesque nature trails suitable for their smaller legs.

Motivating yourself, and your kids, into a weekly routine of exercise is a great way to stay Fit and healthy.
