"Eat Well", "Shop Well" and "Save Well" to HELP What Magazine?
Over the next few months we will be scanning the shelves to see which magazines that we would recomend buying or possibly subscribing to in 2020.
With all magazines on line now and on social media is it worth buying them in paper back?
We will also be looking at advertising some of our new products in selected magazines in 2020.
So please stay up to date by clicking on the subscribe by email button on our blog, and Facebook page.
We will also be adding a magazine review page to our blog(s) pages too.

"Eat Well", "Shop Well" and "Save Well" to HELP Time for me.
"5 minuets please." We have all been their were all we want is 5 minutes.
But when you think about it there is a lot that you can do in 5 minutes.
So why is it that so may of us say that we do not have the time. Not even for a minute yet alone five.
I think that it is time that we all just stopped and took a long deep breath and then breath out.
Then either write out or print out a daily planner. Then write out a typical day.
Then look at it and keep a copy of it on the fridge door.
You will be surprised how many 5 minutes you have in the day where you do not really do anything at all.
Yiu have probably just spent 5 minutes reading my blog up to now.
So now you have an idea of how much time you really have.
STOP
THINK
PLAN
DO
What is it that you would like to do?
How are you going to do it?
Do it!
How are you going to do it?
Do it!
It will take time and not happen over night, so why not make a list every day and see what you can achieve.
Do not feel bad about not completing it, just add to the following list tomarrow until you are happy with your personal achievements.
What should happen is that over time you will be come more focused and confident in yourself and become more organized and manage your time.
For me it is to always be one day a head with meal planning for the family.
That way I know.
What to buy.
What to cook.
How to budget.
What to cook.
How to budget.
So figures crossed I will look at doing this starting from tomarrow.
For now I am having 5 minuets to just.
STOP
RELAX
BREATH
RELAX
BREATH
Before I start planning.

"Eat Well", "Shop Well" and "Save Well" to HELP Computer Games Yes or No?
When it comes to
staying fit and healthy I am one of the last people to jump into
playing computer games.
It is never been any
thing that I would recommend, setting in front of a computer screen
for hours at a time.
I would always say
go for a walk or read a book.
But since computer
games started to become more physical and more hands on. With Wi-Fi
(I do not have one. I have found myself looking into computerise
games as tool and a way to teach my children different skills that
may help them later in life.
I have always said
that learning to read and writes a must and so is keeping up to date
with Information Technology.
So for the first
time this week end I allowed my children to play a computer game.
We did this as a
family by linking the computer to the TV so that every one could join
in and take turns.
I am not very
computer orientated and so I picked up some computer games from a
local charity shop for about 50p each.
GOOD IDEA FOR
GIFTS.
I then crossed my
fingers and toes and hoped that I could get them to play knowing that
some times this dose to all ways happen.
For the first time
we managed to play as a family with everyone joined in.
The Games that we
played I have listed below.
Other world
Spring of Shadows Hidden Object Game By Blacklime Games /Big Fish
(aged 7)
Dora the Explorer
Lost City Adventure Nickelodeon (aged 3+)
Now ever playing
computer games I found both of these every had to do so teaching my
children what to do was a challenge.
All I can say is
thank you to all of those gamers out their who put out information on
how to play these games and how to “cheat.”
I was so happy that
I was able to interact with my boys on a cold wet day and actually
teach them something.
I pick these games
because they are about problem solving and really get your mind
thinking and looking at how things work.
I know that in the
past there was a big promotion about “Brain Training” and things
like cross words, work searching and Sudoku where all the range.
Now it is all about
being creative and colouring and painting by number.
For me I think that
little and often is the key.
So my aim with my
boys is that on a Sunday afternoon we will look at playing a game as
a family.
I already have a
rule that Sunday is family day no mobile phones are allowed. At
times this can be a challenge due to both me and my children's dad
being self employed and running most of your lives on line now.
But for one day a
week I like to turn off and just live with out the phone.
So my plan with be
to check out what games I have and make sure that I know how to set
them up and if some games do include multiply players I will look
into this.
I still love board
games but I know that with the game being on my PC then I am not
going to have to worry about my little ones losing the pieces of
putting them into their mouths.
Aims
Also I now that
the games are off line and will not cost me money if my children were
to click on the wrong box so to speak.
I am hope to
improve family time by allowing this one day a week treat.
Enable the boys
to learn and improve their IT skills.
Improve their
thinking, memory, manual dexterity,, communication, team building
and confidence.
So we shall see.
