Sit back and relax

I’m the type of person who likes to be comfortable. I’ll often sit in my best chair at home, put up my feet and relax. Stretching out feels good, doesn’t it? I don’t like being cramped and know many people who don’t like it either. However, I do spot drivers heading on down the road…

Looking after our family is an ongoing task throughout our lives. As a child our parents looked after us, we looked after our brothers and sisters and eventually for a lot of us we end up looking after our own kids. But at some point, it all turns around and we begin to look after…

Life is always full of challenges; we all know that. It’s a regular challenge to raise our kids, to sometimes do our jobs and to keep your household chores up to date. Some people have a better handle on doing these things successfully than other people do. They seem to have self-control when it comes…

Are you a good role model or just a role model?

As a parent of 4 growing kids, it’s always been important to me to be a good role model to them. I’m not perfect, but I do try my best most of the time to show them how they should behave in public and in life. Do you have the same beliefs? If you’ve never…

Remember when you first learned to drive? It was a huge part of every person’s life. It meant freedom to come and go as you please. It even meant the chance of getting a job because the job required you to have a driver’s license. With this freedom came responsibility. Abuse of this responsibility means…

Can’t see the forest because of the trees

You can’t see the forest because of the trees. You could lose your glasses if they were on your face. We’ve heard these sayings before and many more like them when we can’t seem to see the obvious. Having your mind “elsewhere” tends to make us lose our concentration on what we’re currently doing. We’ll…

My favourite letter in the alphabet is “why”

Raising four kids has been fun and tough at the same time. Having patience has made it easier to keep the kids in line and to help educate and correct them when they’ve made mistakes. As any parent has heard many, many times before, the kids will often ask “why?” after you’ve explained things to…

Would you turn blind?

Turning left; it’s one of the most dangerous things we do while driving. Granted, driving in itself is always dangerous. Whether it’s distracted driving, poor road conditions, mechanical breakdown, whatever; it’s always dangerous. Most of the time, our vehicles can protect us with their safety features, but we’re not always that lucky. Considering that most…
