If you think about it, your garden is your second living space, but it’s outside. This is where you’re going to relax, soak up the sun, and maybe even barbecue as well with the family. </span></p><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">So, when it comes to all of this, how can you make your patio feel nice? Having furniture on the patio is one thing, but how can you be sure that you’re going to make an atmosphere that instantly makes people feel as if they’re in a comfortable and cosy living space? Keep reading on to find out how! </span></p><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><h2 dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 18pt; margin-bottom: 6pt;"><span style="font-size: 16pt; font-family: Arial; font-weight: 400; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Take a Look at the Textures</span></h2><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">What sort of textures do you have on your patio? What about the rest of the garden? Do you see anything but brickwork and concrete? Is it nothing but grass? Is there a combination? You need to first look at the overall picture of your garden in order to fix up your patio. Ideally, you should have a mix of textures rather than just one. If you have nothing but concrete and bricks, it’s going to make your garden and patio feel very hard, which could even make it feel unwelcoming. You should also look into textiles to help soften it up. Some outdoor curtains, rugs, and cushions can truly make all the difference!</span></p><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><h2 dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 18pt; margin-bottom: 6pt;"><span style="font-size: 16pt; font-family: Arial; font-weight: 400; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Are there Colours?</span></h2><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Everyone is entitled to have whatever they want in their own garden; however, since this is a garden, maybe you should look into having some plants in it. Whether you want potted plants, grass, or bushes is up to you, but those colours from the plants help a lot. You want to feel as if you’re in nature, and if your garden is nothing but bricks, it’s going to feel stale and cold. So make sure to just embrace the greenery! </span></p><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">But you don’t have to stop there, why not get some flowers? Something like </span><a href="https://www.thompson-morgan.com/flowers-plants-shrubs/plants/shrubs/hydrangea" style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(17, 85, 204); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-decoration: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">hydrangeas</span></a><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> and dahlias can make all the difference, and they’re super easy to care for too. But you don’t even need to stop at plants; buy colour textiles and decor for your patio too. </span></p><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><h2 dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 18pt; margin-bottom: 6pt;"><span style="font-size: 16pt; font-family: Arial; font-weight: 400; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Consider Adding Warmth</span></h2><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Even though the summers are known for being hot, it does cool off substantially when the sun goes down. So due to all of this, you’re going to want to consider adding some warmth to your garden. So, think about ways to make a cold outdoor area warm. For starters, you’ll need some light to illuminate the patio, so you can always start with some outdoor solar lights, which even includes some string lights. But why not take it a step even further? You could even look into an </span><a href="https://planikauk.com/collections/gas-fires" style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(17, 85, 204); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-decoration: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">outdoor gas fire</span></a><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> as well.

If you are looking for ways to introduce more natural light into your home, the following tips should help:</span></p><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><h2 dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 18pt; margin-bottom: 6pt;"><span style="font-size: 16pt; font-family: Arial; font-weight: 400; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Choose the Right Window Treatments</span></h2><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(14, 16, 26); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">If your home has heavy drapes and net curtains, you will likely struggle to make your rooms feel light and airy. Choosing the right window treatments plays a significant role in how light and bright your home feels. Removing the net curtains and thick, heavy drapes can create a striking difference in how light your room is. However, bare windows do not provide privacy. Having </span><a href="https://www.pauljamesblinds.co.uk/locations/bury-st-edmunds/" style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(74, 110, 224); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-decoration: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">made to measure blinds</span></a><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(14, 16, 26); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> fitted in your home provides you with the best of both worlds. Custom blinds enable you to let plenty of natural light into your rooms while also offering privacy.</span></p><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><h2 dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 18pt; margin-bottom: 6pt;"><span style="font-size: 16pt; font-family: Arial; font-weight: 400; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Select Your Colour Scheme Carefully</span></h2><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(14, 16, 26); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Your choice of colour scheme can have a significant impact on the appearance of light in your home. While it may seem obvious that darker colours will make your room look darker, you may be unsure which colours you should choose to make your rooms look light. Bright white walls and ceilings is the colour scheme of choice for many people hoping to make their homes lighter. However, if minimalist décor is not for you, you may be reluctant to create an all-white colour scheme. The good news is that you can look beyond white when creating a bright feel in your home. Muted tones of pink, blue, and green can make a room appear bigger and lighter, as can earthy tones. </span></p><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><h2 dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 18pt; margin-bottom: 6pt;"><span style="font-size: 16pt; font-family: Arial; font-weight: 400; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Add Finishing Touches</span></h2><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(14, 16, 26); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">No décor project is complete without the right finishing touches, and when you are trying to create a room that feels light and bright, decorative accessories are a must. Staying clear of heavy and dark items that could make the room feel cluttered is essential, as these will absorb the light. It is also important to avoid adding too many items to your room, especially those that could obstruct the light coming through your windows. Instead, choosing decorative accessories that encourage the light to bounce around the room is helpful. Introducing accessories, such as mirrors and glassware, is an excellent way to enhance the feeling of light in the room and instantly make it look attractive and brighter.</span></p><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><h2 dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 18pt; margin-bottom: 6pt;"><span style="font-size: 16pt; font-family: Arial; font-weight: 400; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Final Thoughts</span></h2><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(14, 16, 26); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Introducing more light into your home helps it to look more attractive and provides many benefits.

Everyone should be able to go somewhere to relax if they start to feel any kind of overwhelming emotion. For example, bedrooms are a great place to start, but sometimes families don’t have enough space for everyone to have their own bedroom. In this case, we urge you to consider turning one room, or a section of a room into a quiet space. This ensures that everyone has got somewhere that they can go if they start to feel like they need some time on their own.</span></p><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Hopefully, you have found this article helpful, and now see some of the things that you can do to create the perfect family home that works for you. It’s important that wherever you live works for your family, so you have to do your best to ensure that this is the case.

Many of these trips will cost you personally but are very beneficial to your children and we would suggest sending them on them if you can afford to - some schools will help you with the costs if you are unable to pay. </span></p><p style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); padding: 0px; margin: 0px; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; line-height: 1.15; orphans: 2; widows: 2; height: 11pt;"><span style="vertical-align: baseline; font-size: 11pt;"></span></p><p style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); padding: 0px; margin: 0px; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; line-height: 1.15; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"><span style="vertical-align: baseline; font-size: 11pt;">These trips have many benefits including increased independence, taking your children outside their comfort zone, helping them learn in a different way, they will be excited to be going on a school trip and more. </span></p><p style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); padding: 0px; margin: 0px; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; line-height: 1.15; orphans: 2; widows: 2; height: 11pt;"><span style="vertical-align: baseline; font-size: 11pt;"></span></p><p style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); padding: 0px; margin: 0px; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; line-height: 1.15; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">Below we have put together our top benefits of sending your children on <span style="text-decoration-skip-ink: none; color: rgb(17, 85, 204); text-decoration: underline;"><a href="https://www.pgl.co.uk/en-gb/school-trips" style="text-decoration: inherit;" id="id_386a_36d2_1e21_b741" target="_self">residential trips for schools</a></span><span style="vertical-align: baseline; font-size: 11pt;">. </span></p><p style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); padding: 0px; margin: 0px; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; line-height: 1.15; orphans: 2; widows: 2; height: 11pt;"><span style="vertical-align: baseline; font-size: 11pt;"></span></p><p style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); padding: 0px; margin: 0px; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; line-height: 1.15; orphans: 2; widows: 2;"><span style="font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; font-size: 11pt;">It can help your child become more independent</span></p><p style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); padding: 0px; margin: 0px; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; line-height: 1.15; orphans: 2; widows: 2; height: 11pt;"><span style="font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; font-size: 11pt;"></span></p><p style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); padding: 0px; margin: 0px; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; line-height: 1.15; orphans: 2; widows: 2;">One of the biggest benefits of sending your child on a residential school trip is that it can help your child to build independence.

They can introduce them to a range of new skills and hobbies and perhaps spark an interest that they continue to delve into once they have got home from the trip.

However, there are many repairs and renovations that are necessary that are not seen by the naked eye, like fixing the plumbing, electric wiring, or electric boiler. These repairs and renovations can be just as necessary as any others to keep your home running smoothly and looking its best.

Issues with dirty or clogged vents can lead to decreased airflow and dust buildup throughout the house. More critical areas in your home include the electric boiler, responsible for providing heat throughout our homes, and the plumbing fixtures and appliances that keep our water clean and drinkable. These systems are often vulnerable to wear and tear over time, so regular inspections and maintenance are key for ensuring that they remain in working order. In addition, keeping these home parts up-to-date and well-maintained can help prevent costly repairs or replacements. </span></p><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Whether repairing roof shingles or installing new light fixtures, taking care of the unseen parts of your home is just as important as attending to its surface-level features.

After all, these are two spaces that people tend to update most often. However, there's so much more to it than just a few cosmetic changes here and there. Thankfully, if you have the right support system around you, undertaking a </span><a href="http://www.3girlsmummy.co.uk/2022/09/how-to-increase-your-propertys-curb.html" style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(17, 85, 204); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-decoration: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">home renovation</span></a><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(14, 16, 26); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> shouldn't be as scary of an idea as it might seem. In fact, it can be massively liberating and lead to an even better life in your home. Of course, when undertaking any project—even on such a personal level as your own house—it is essential to remember that not everything will go smoothly all the time. Regardless of how small or big your renovation plans are, they will require careful planning and execution. But no worries — we got you covered with some valuable pointers on what things you need to consider before starting any home renovation:</span></p><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><h2 dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 17pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(14, 16, 26); font-weight: 400; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Know your why</span></h2><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(14, 16, 26); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Why are you renovating your home? What do you hope to achieve from it? This may seem like a very basic "first" point, but it's easy to forget about amid a renovation project. Make sure you know the reason behind your renovation to set realistic expectations and when to call it quits. For example, is your goal to create a wheelchair-accessible space, do you need more bedrooms for a growing family, or do you simply need to bring your home into the 21st century?</span></p><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><h2 dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 17pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(14, 16, 26); font-weight: 400; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Assess your needs</span></h2><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(14, 16, 26); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">What exactly do you need your finished home to do for you? When you know your why, you will know your needs. It could be wider doorways to accommodate wheelchair access, and it could be a bigger space for more room for raising children; it could even be to create a new home office. Your needs are personal to you, and you need to know what you want to form your home before any work or planning begins to ensure you design a new space perfect for you.</span></p><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><h2 dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 17pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(14, 16, 26); font-weight: 400; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Know your limitations</span></h2><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(14, 16, 26); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">This is one of the most important things to consider before starting any home renovation. What does that mean? It means you need to know your budget, time, and skill set. The budget can be managed, especially if you're not doing significant renovations that will take months. However, the time frame is something that can't be changed and can often be the most important factor. For example, if you want a brand new kitchen but only have three weeks until the holidays, you'll want to consider which renovations you can do within a short timeframe. Skill set is something that can often go unnoticed, but you need to be completely honest with yourself about doing any level of work yourself.</span></p><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><h2 dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 17pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(14, 16, 26); font-weight: 400; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Where will you live during work?</span></h2><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(14, 16, 26); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Where you will live during the works will depend on the renovation you are undertaking. For example, if you are undertaking a kitchen renovation, you can continue to use your kitchen during the renovations, but you might need to move your appliances to another room. This is an important thing to keep in mind. Will your home be liveable during the renovation work, and will you be able to live there for this duration easily? For some people, moving out until everything is finished is the best answer, while others will simply be able to live around the work until it is finished.</span></p><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><h2 dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 17pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(14, 16, 26); font-weight: 400; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">What type of costs can you expect?</span></h2><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(14, 16, 26); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The type of costs you can expect often depends on the type of renovation that you are undertaking. For example, if you are undertaking a </span><a href="https://www.idealhome.co.uk/kitchen/how-much-does-a-new-kitchen-cost-303979" style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(17, 85, 204); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-decoration: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">kitchen renovation</span></a><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(14, 16, 26); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">, you can expect to pay upwards of £5,000 depending on the work you need. However, there are always hidden costs to budget for that you won't be aware of until you come across them. If carrying out some work yourself, you need to ensure you have everything you need, including tools, equipment, and safety gear, and are working with the appropriate suppliers, such as </span><a href="https://www.pipedreamfittings.com/" style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(74, 110, 224); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-decoration: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">pipe suppliers</span></a><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(14, 16, 26); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">, to get the suitable materials for each job.

Many things can affect your project, from weather to financial problems (e.g. if your contractor doesn't get paid on time) or even supply chain issues. It is essential to stay on top of these issues and delays to ensure your project stays on track. If you notice a problem, talk to your contractor immediately. This way, they can take care of it quickly, so it doesn't become a bigger problem.</span></p><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><h2 dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 17pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(14, 16, 26); font-weight: 400; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">What is your tolerance level?</span></h2><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(14, 16, 26); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">There will be some days when renovating your home that you will want to throw in the towel and walk away—and that's okay. It is essential to know your tolerance level and make sure that you give yourself enough time to rest and relax. It is also necessary to have a support system in place. You can use online forums to connect with other renovators or vent to family and friends.</span></p><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><h2 dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 17pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(14, 16, 26); font-weight: 400; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Will you need a project manager?</span></h2><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(14, 16, 26); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">If you are undertaking a major renovation, such as adding a room or renovating the entire house, you will probably need a project manager. A project manager will help you stay on track with the renovation and ensure it is completed within your timeline. A project manager will also help minimise your stress by providing updates on the renovation's progress but it will also incur an additional cost to the renovation too so this is something ot consider carefully.</span></p><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><h2 dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 17pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(14, 16, 26); font-weight: 400; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Final words</span></h2><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(14, 16, 26); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Renovating your home is a big undertaking, but it can be gratifying. Whether you are adding a room or renovating your entire house, there are many benefits to doing so. You can personalise your home even more and create a perfect space for you and your family. </span></p><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><img src="blob:null/085ca40b-1edf-4050-ac11-722a05c43d4c" id="id_32f2_9685_ff0b_7829"></div> 3 Girls Mummyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06274381738142179702noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8204667697256162948.post-33951074249633577502022-09-06T21:52:00.001+01:002022-09-06T21:52:02.050+01:00How To Increase Your Propertys Curb Appeal<p dir="ltr" id="docs-internal-guid-866e97f4-7fff-a08b-dec0-5d97cc9ec2d0" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; text-align: center; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="border: none; display: inline-block; overflow: hidden; width: 500px; height: 750px;"><img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/0mPB_N4iEbaEcuaid45JIVdqcqqCYFUo-C6a97GQ5bJFtsi_fNLEC9GeCN_JrgTFF0xRPLqZT7Ehzinyqx7bbW3a4Fl5DiM_NAn-7wzGx5Ruv88YvXeqiebNGoWzzf4ti2Oyk4lLP6UTw1C8nfujCNdGm8Vj2U0EwYbzG2cok73cpKGQ0P4304D-4Q" width="500" height="750" style="margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px;" id="id_4b30_28f_b107_7e0e"></span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; text-align: center; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><a href="https://www.pexels.com/photo/decorative-trays-on-wall-outside-door-2867894/" style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(17, 85, 204); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-decoration: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">(Image credit)</span></a></p><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(14, 16, 26); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">If you plan to sell your home anytime soon, increasing the kerb appeal as part of your </span><a href="http://www.3girlsmummy.co.uk/2020/06/here-are-best-home-improvements-for.html" style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(17, 85, 204); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-decoration: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">home improvements</span></a><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(14, 16, 26); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> of your property is a must. Kerb appeal is a significant feature that has numerous ramifications when selling a home. So, what exactly is kerb appeal? Kerb appeal is the desirability of a home's exterior and includes everything from front doors to roof quality. Having a higher kerb appeal will help your house sale and subsequent move go as smoothly as possible. When it comes to selling your home, first impressions are everything. Consider your home's curb appeal to be an advertisement. The initial image of property on most estate agency websites is of the property's exterior.</span></p><h2 dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 18pt; margin-bottom: 6pt;"><span style="font-size: 16pt; font-family: Arial; font-weight: 400; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Renovate Your Front Door </span></h2><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(14, 16, 26); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Your front door, as the entrance to your home and frequently the first thing purchasers notice, sets the tone for the remainder of the property. A drab or run-down front door is one of the most significant deterrents for potential purchasers. Fortunately, revitalising your entrance door is a simple process.

But as any parent knows, ignoring your own needs isn't going to help things get any better. You can't be great at being a parent if you don't take care of yourself first. Being a parent is hard work and requires more energy than many of us had previously thought possible. In fact, keeping up with the constant demands of caring for another human being can be extremely draining. But here's the thing: there are loads of ways to improve your health as a busy parent that takes very little time and effort but offer big rewards. Whether you have 5 minutes or an hour, some simple techniques will give you a fantastic boost in confidence and energy right away.</span></p><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><h2 dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 17pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(14, 16, 26); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Try to get fresh air every day</span><span style="font-size: 17pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(14, 16, 26); font-weight: 400; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">.</span></h2><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><a href="https://www.lifehack.org/484950/100-small-changes-you-can-make-to-improve-your-health" style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(17, 85, 204); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-decoration: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Healthy living is all about making small changes</span></a><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(14, 16, 26); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> that have a significant impact. One of the simplest and most effective ways to do that is to try and get some fresh air every day. Whether it's a quick walk around the block, drinking your morning coffee in the garden, or spending time outdoors with your family, getting some fresh air is excellent for you and your kids. It will help reduce stress, but it will also boost your mood and energy levels. You'll feel much better about yourself and be better equipped to tackle the rest of your day.</span></p><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><h2 dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 17pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(14, 16, 26); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Have healthy snacks prepared</span></h2><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(14, 16, 26); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Healthy eating is essential for good health, but getting all your nutrients can be tricky when you're a busy parent. When meals are rushed, and you've got kids to feed and activities to be getting to, it's really easy to fall into the trap of making poor choices. But by having a selection of healthy snacks prepared, you can help avoid this issue. Having healthy snacks available will help keep blood sugar levels stable, which will make you feel much better about yourself. If you're feeding kids snacks like fruit, nuts and granola bars, why not join them instead of choosing unhealthier snacks.

Staying hydrated is vital for your body to function properly, but it's something that many of us either forget to do or fail to do properly. When you're busy, and your schedule is packed, it can be really easy to forget to drink any water at all, let alone enough of it. When you're busy, it's even easier to forget than when you're not. You're more likely to feel anxious and stressed out when you're a parent. This can cause your body to produce more stress hormones, leading to you feeling dehydrated. By drinking plenty of water throughout your day, you can help to avoid this. Try using bottles with times of day marked on them to prompt you into drinking throughout the day.</span></p><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><h2 dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 17pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(14, 16, 26); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Make breakfast a priority</span><span style="font-size: 17pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(14, 16, 26); font-weight: 400; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">.</span></h2><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(14, 16, 26); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Eating a good, healthy breakfast is essential for good health, but it's something that many of us fail to prioritise. When you're a parent, breakfast can easily fall by the wayside. You might feel too tired to eat or rush out the door before you've ever eaten anything. Make breakfast a priority, and it will help make you feel better about yourself. It will give you the energy you need to get through the day and improve your mood. Eating a good breakfast is one of the best ways to start a day off on the right foot, and it's an easy way to improve your health as a busy parent. You don't have to make anything fancy; overnight oats are a simple yet delicious and nutritious way to start the day.</span></p><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><h2 dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 17pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(14, 16, 26); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Incorporate active games into your day</span></h2><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><a href="https://lifestyle.howstuffworks.com/family/parenting/parenting-tips/parents-make-time-for-themselves.htm" style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(17, 85, 204); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-decoration: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">When you're a parent, it's essential to make time for yourself</span></a><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(14, 16, 26); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">, but it can be tough to fit in the activities you used to enjoy. It can also be challenging to find activities that the whole family can enjoy. One of the easiest ways to improve your health as a busy parent is by incorporating active games into your day. This can be as simple as making sure you walk to school with your kids every day or taking time out to play catch in the backyard. It can also include playing tag, throwing a ball around or even just dancing in the living room. By incorporating active games into your day, you'll feel better.

Sleep is essential for good health, but it can be hard to get enough sleep when you've got a house full of kids who are awake very early in the morning. It's also easy to make bad choices that can negatively affect your sleep, like staying up late to finish work or watching TV late at night. By focusing on sleep improvement, you can help to make the rest of your day much better. Like making sure your bedroom is as dark and quiet as possible, simple things can make a big difference.

Too often, we get wrapped up in the stresses and worries of everyday life, and it's easy to lose track of what's essential in life. Practising mindfulness can help clear your mind and keep things in perspective. You can find mindfulness in activities, from gardening to cooking and everything in between. It can be as simple as taking a walk and breathing deeply or making time for meditation. Practising mindfulness can help you to feel better about yourself and better equipped to deal with the challenges of being a parent.</span></p><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><h2 dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 17pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(14, 16, 26); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Schedule downtime as often as possible</span></h2><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(14, 16, 26); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Being a parent is hard work, and it can be easy to feel as though you're always rushing from one thing to the next. But when you're always running around and trying to fit everything in, you're likely to feel much more stressed out. To improve your health as a busy parent, it's essential to make time for downtime. Schedule some time each week where you do absolutely nothing. It can be hard to find the time to do nothing, but it's essential to look after yourself. Getting away from the pressures and stresses of your daily life can help to give your mind and body a break. It can help make you feel better about yourself, improve your mood, and feel more energised.</span></p><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><h2 dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 17pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(14, 16, 26); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Do something that makes you happy</span><span style="font-size: 17pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(14, 16, 26); font-weight: 400; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">.</span></h2><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(14, 16, 26); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Finally, do something that makes you happy.

Being a parent is an incredibly rewarding experience, but it can also be challenging. There will be many times when you feel overwhelmed and out of your comfort zone. Do something that makes you happy to come back to those challenges feeling more confident and with a clearer head. It can be as simple as watching your favourite TV show, reading a book or baking a cake. Having something that makes you happy can also help combat feelings of isolation that many parents experience as they adjust to their new roles.</span></p><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><img src="blob:null/f8b4593b-9b30-4821-99a3-d1d3fc897ebf" id="id_7caa_3d85_3e6_7415"> 3 Girls Mummyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06274381738142179702noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8204667697256162948.post-6933486031379465632022-05-27T10:22:00.001+01:002022-05-27T10:22:11.944+01:00Spruce Up for Summer: Ways to Keep Your Home Looking Great All Season<p dir="ltr" id="docs-internal-guid-a530d1ac-7fff-6ef6-834f-060eb6e11688" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Keeping your house looking great </span><a href="http://www.3girlsmummy.co.uk/2021/12/how-to-make-your-family-home-feel-as.html" style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(17, 85, 204); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-decoration: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">all year</span></a><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> is a challenge. Home interiors often take a hit during the summer months, when heat and humidity wreak havoc on painted walls, dark carpets, and wooden floors.

During the summer months, you can increase the amount of light in your home even further. You could choose to up your curtains. Curtains that are lined or treated with a </span><a href="https://www.hunterdouglas.com/uv-protection" style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(17, 85, 204); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-decoration: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">UV coating</span></a><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> will protect your home from the UV rays while still letting in plenty of light. If you enjoy the privacy of curtains but still want more light, you can also try using blinds.</span></p><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Clean and organize your space</span></p><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">You don’t have to be an expert to know that a clean and organized home is always going to look better than one that’s filled with clutter. And it’s true for more than just aesthetics, too. Having a clean and tidy home can actually have a big impact on your energy levels. When your home is clean and organized, you have more time to focus on the things that really matter to you. You can also avoid the stress that comes with a messy home, as well as the health consequences that can often go with it. Without dust and cobwebs, a clean and tidy home can also help to protect your furnishings. You can clean up your carpets and rugs, too—especially if they’re dark or light-coloured.

They can also have a big impact on your health, increasing feelings of happiness and lowering stress levels. Plants are also great for keeping your home cool. Many of them thrive in high humidity and will be healthier with better air quality. At the same time, plants can help to remove harmful toxins from your air, like formaldehyde and benzene. There are plenty of plants to choose from, so you can find one that suits the look and feel of your home. Many plants are easy to care for, meaning you don’t have to be a gardening expert.

At the same time, it’s important to make sure you’re overlooking any of the practical things that need to be taken care of when it comes to planning for the baby’s arrival. And that means setting up the new nursery first and foremost. Here are some of the ways to approach that.</span></p><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; font-weight: 700; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Choose an Overall Theme</span></p><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Choosing the right overall theme for the nursery is probably a good idea before you try to do anything else. When you have a good theme, you can ensure that you have a solid framework, around which you can hang other things and create a more coherent design for the room. It might be a fairy theme or a zoo animals theme or whatever you want.</span></p><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; font-weight: 700; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Use Soft and Tranquil Colors</span></p><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Using a soft and tranquil color scheme is something that you might want to implement throughout your </span><a href="http://www.3girlsmummy.co.uk/2021/10/five-reasons-why-you-need-your-own.html" style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(17, 85, 204); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-decoration: underline; text-decoration-skip: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">home</span></a><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">, but it’s an especially good idea to take that approach in the nursery that you’re designing. You want to create a calm kind of atmosphere in which your baby will sleep easy. So keep things relatively simple and straightforward if you can.

A feature wall is useful because it can add something a little more interesting to the space. For example, it allows you to add a mural of some kind of a custom painting that’s in keeping with the theme of the room in general. There are many ways to approach it.</span></p><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="border: none; display: inline-block; overflow: hidden; width: 624px; height: 416px;"><img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/wDA0AGs-UEgnOUwURaVbJNJamgI3sryR0O-0JKBfhTxcBKZY0LbADqATBwldQQRRfLfQSXnLKySv6T0iDrheUQyJG7_cBLF0fYkUYyJaLkzNPZB4njvGkDEeVxkwGBgRN52AnrXZ" width="624" height="416" style="margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px;" id="id_c8cd_910d_9466_63a7"></span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; text-align: center; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><a href="https://pixabay.com/photos/baby-mobile-mobile-nursery-mobile-1921866/" style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(17, 85, 204); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-decoration: underline; text-decoration-skip: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Image Source - CC0 License</span></a></p><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">As you can see, there are lots of important steps to consider as you move through the whole process of preparing a new nursery for your baby.

It's far too easy to feel the chill inside your home as the wind and snow rage on outside, but fortunately it's also pretty simple to fight back against the winter weather to establish a welcoming feeling of warmth and comfort. So, if you're interested in finding out more about how you can upgrade your home's interior to better suit the changing seasons, then simply read on! </span></p><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="border: none; display: inline-block; overflow: hidden; width: 624px; height: 416px;"><img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/ma-EtI-r9AFn65uv-WFSQq611-4ViyGTxX4SNlzqCJ7eF9kvosCyq89jkL29I-U4mVd0jdNtQlMlDsrIB1vPvAPOhQKFxn8hYYfpbtNRv-MWpmBQ5NZtSSGXIA9l5H3c_GZkEZwS" width="624" height="416" style="margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px;" id="id_c29a_c2fd_9b46_1450"></span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><a href="https://www.pexels.com/photo/houses-near-tress-2765436/" style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(17, 85, 204); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-decoration: underline; text-decoration-skip: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Image Source - Pexels</span></a><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Use Different Colours </span></p><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The colours that you use inside your home can influence the way that you feel, as certain tones are associated with certain feelings or emotions. For example, blue is considered a very cold colour that's often associated with water and ice, whereas orange is a warming colour that's associated with sand or fire. Experimenting with this to see whether you can make your home feel more warm by using the right colours can have a huge impact, as your interior can be transformed from a cool and uninviting location to a warmer, more comfortable looking space in just a few easy changes. Don't worry if you don't have the time or funds to repaint your home in time for winter, as you can use eye catching accessories to do exactly the same job. Think rugs, throws, artwork and more to recreate that feeling of warmth. </span></p><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Add Suitable Accessories</span></p><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Your next port of call when attempting to create the perfect winter homestead is to add the most suitable accessories. You can easily ramp up the warm feeling inside your home by using lamps and candles, as the yellow glow that they can emit is sure to make any room feel more inviting. Steer clear of bright white LED lights, as they can seem far more cold and sterile in comparison. Investing in more design features that embody a feeling of comfort is also key, as things like faux fur throws, fluffy pillows or even cow hide rugs (</span><a href="https://www.cowhiderugslondon.co.uk/cowhide-rugs-by-size/small.html" style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(17, 85, 204); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-decoration: underline; text-decoration-skip: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">click here to continue</span></a><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> your search) can transform your home with ease. Having more rugs and throws will not only make your home look more welcoming but it can also make it feel physically warmer, as you'll be able to wrap yourself up and avoid standing on cold hard flooring. </span></p><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">An Open Fire</span></p><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">If you have an open fire inside your home, now is the time to spark it up. Having the flames roaring in your living room will provide warmth, a soft orange glow that fills the room, and even the relaxing sound of crackling wood as it smulders away. This is the perfect winter addition, but not everyone has access to such a feature. This doesn't have to be an issue, however, as you can easily source a crackling fire video to stream on your television that will offer a similar kind of vibe (you'll just have to switch the heating on!). </span></p><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Making your home feel super cosy this winter has never been such a simple task. </span></p><img src="blob:null/7bc6f944-2a84-406a-bd47-eabde5997cce" id="id_ee30_842b_8d45_117b"> 3 Girls Mummyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06274381738142179702noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8204667697256162948.post-44607751661982402652021-11-10T07:42:00.001+00:002021-11-10T07:42:55.967+00:00Keeping Your Car Safe This Winter<p dir="ltr" id="docs-internal-guid-a415b4ac-7fff-4e1a-9644-83a9fd0ac172" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 3pt;"><span style="font-size: 26pt; font-family: Arial; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Keeping Your Car Safe This Winter</span></p><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"></p><hr style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><p style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"></p><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(14, 16, 26); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Some British regions record a high volume of car theft. For instance, according to the latest data analysis from Tracker, London is the first hotspot for keyless car theft, followed by the West Midlands, Greater Manchester, and then Essex. Needless to say, if you happen to live in one of those areas, you might be worried about what could happen to your vehicle. </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(14, 16, 26); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Keyless theft, aka for vehicles that do not need a physical key but rely on a fob instead, increases every year. In 2021, they've increased by 93%, proving that, unfortunately, criminals have been productive and learned new skills during lockdown. Some car makes are more vulnerable than others. As thieves hack the key's signal to gain access to the vehicle using a relay attack, it is a wake-up call for every car owner. Therefore, authorities warn to use other deterrents, such as crook locks and wheel clamps or a high gate. </span></p><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(14, 16, 26); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">However, too many car owners assume that thieves are the only thing they need to worry about.

Vandals target vehicles regardless of value and make. Some attacks are triggered by revenge against a specific individual. Yet, more often than not, vandals are likely to attack your vehicle because it happens to be here. So, a camera system such as a </span><a href="http://www.3girlsmummy.co.uk/2021/07/three-ways-to-protect-your-home.html" style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(74, 110, 224); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-decoration: underline; text-decoration-skip: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">doorbell camera can be a useful addition</span></a><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(14, 16, 26); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> to protect your vehicle, as well as your home. The camera can record the area in front of your home, which means that if you park your car by the front door, it will be visible. You can also install fake cameras pointing at your car as a deterrent. </span></p><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(14, 16, 26); font-weight: 700; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Rain, sun, and cold do not help</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(14, 16, 26); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Winter is the worst season for your vehicle. Frequent rain can lead to rust risks, especially if you leave your car parked for several days without driving. Your brake pads and discs could develop a rusty layer, accentuating damage and corrosion to the braking system. </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(14, 16, 26); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Later in the season, when streets are covered in salt to prevent ice formation, you need to wash your car frequently so that the salt doesn't damage the body paint. Paint serves an important purpose as it protects the body from external elements that could cause corrosion. </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(14, 16, 26); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Lastly, the combination of winter sun and cold temperature can also cause the paint to dry and flake. It can be safer for your vehicle to stay inside the garage, away from the rain and the sun.

However, once you get married and have some kids, the bathroom is no longer the palace where you can go to relax. If you have a few kids, you might want to consider how to create your own bathroom space and have some quiet time.</span></p><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="border: none; display: inline-block; overflow: hidden; width: 602px; height: 400px;"><img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/mbBZCc6E4HmxPXd7FP6ZvUe8RTFwSnUhGENs5N6GrnKY4a4iJ4bcbKZx9ChWbKcrYlCT8t5k2qPMdnRoL7y8Ui3wn9NgHywrfW_otelFLOU9MuzU22_ye_q6H8F2q0h4ns6oVJkW=s1600" width="602" height="400" style="margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px;" id="id_f42d_90bb_22c8_7fcc"></span></span></p><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><a href="https://pixabay.com/photos/bathroom-luxury-luxury-bathroom-1336164/" style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(17, 85, 204); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-decoration: underline; text-decoration-skip: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> Barry D from Pixabay </span></a></p><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><h2 dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 18pt; margin-bottom: 6pt;"><span style="font-size: 16pt; font-family: Arial; font-weight: 400; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">It will be cleaner</span></h2><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Now, we are not saying that our children are dirty but if there are a few of them that go through the show every day, then the bathroom can get a bit grubby.

However, if you have your own bathroom, you can shower in the knowledge that you are standing in a clean shower and that your feet will be clean when you get out. If you have your own space, it will be yourself and your other half using it. Keeping the kids out and stopping them from conducting science experiments in the sink will ensure that you have an adult space that is free from mud.</span></p><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><h2 dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 18pt; margin-bottom: 6pt;"><span style="font-size: 16pt; font-family: Arial; font-weight: 400; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Your own stuff</span></h2><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">We have all been there. The wonderful beauty items that we have collected over Christmas and birthdays, expensive items that are also too expensive to use. And your three year old decided that the red lipstick that cost a small fortune is the colour that he needs to draw in. If you have your own bathroom, your kids have no excuse to go in there and start playing with your makeup and expensive items. Or course, you could not buy these things in the first place but where is the fun in that? Keep your stuff safe from little fingers and keep your beauty products in some storage in your own bathroom. Having it to hand might make you want to use it a lot more often too.</span></p><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><h2 dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 18pt; margin-bottom: 6pt;"><span style="font-size: 16pt; font-family: Arial; font-weight: 400; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Extra toilet</span></h2><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">If you have one toilet and multiple bums, it can be tough to get any time to pee in peace. There are times when you get into the shower and your kids suddenly need to pee. If you have your own bathroom, you have the option of showering and not having a group of children marching in for the world's smallest pees. It is also handy if you and the husband have had a grownup meal that doesn’t agree with your stomachs. There is nothing worse than upset tummies and one toilet, just take our word on that one. If there are a lot of people in your home, it helps to have a lot of toilets so that nobody is left short. It is also great from potty training if there is a downstairs toilet option as you will find it easier to get them into the nearest toilet when they need to pee-pee.</span></p><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><h2 dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 18pt; margin-bottom: 6pt;"><span style="font-size: 16pt; font-family: Arial; font-weight: 400; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Adds value</span></h2><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">If there is a grownup reason to add a bathroom, it is this one.

You might not be thinking about selling up right now but it is nice to know that it will be worth it if you do decide to sell in the future. In fact, the more working toilets in your home, the better for the value. If you have any doubts about adding value, speak to your local estate agents and they can advise you about adding bathrooms that can add more value to your home and what has been selling with them.</span></p><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><h2 dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 18pt; margin-bottom: 6pt;"><span style="font-size: 16pt; font-family: Arial; font-weight: 400; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Great for guests</span></h2><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">If you have a lot of people that come around, they are having a look through your bathroom and judging you on what is in there. Having your own bathroom means that you can hide all of those creams and ointments that you would rather that people didn’t see in your own bathroom. The main family bathroom can be used by guests and it can be filled with the kid’s stuff. Don’t let guests get the better of your bathroom. However, if you can add a small downstairs toilet, that will stop people from roaming over your house and having a look through your personal stuff.</span></p><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">As you can see, there are plenty of benefits to having an </span><a href="http://www.3girlsmummy.co.uk/2021/10/simple-cleaning-jobs-you-should-do-this.html" style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(17, 85, 204); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-decoration: underline; text-decoration-skip: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">extra bathroom</span></a><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> in your home that will benefit you, your family, and anyone who comes to visit your home.</span></p><img src="blob:null/0ea78488-81d6-49a1-8224-4fb02cb77827" id="id_c226_f90a_a765_e0f6"> 3 Girls Mummyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06274381738142179702noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8204667697256162948.post-27149883433120180812021-10-15T11:50:00.001+01:002021-10-15T11:50:47.582+01:00Simple Cleaning Jobs You Should Do This Weekend<p dir="ltr" id="docs-internal-guid-60167397-7fff-c76b-9391-3e567dc542cb" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="border: none; display: inline-block; overflow: hidden; width: 424px; height: 283px;"><img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/b7SDRXbfn-wdEg48S9cm8_HwSnSjZlxCX3F7ewjLFJYABC9CrpDWZsWUJH4e9aSqot0jXwI3hebjxQ-ANpxggFh17rjfHaFudZ9U6YQCUijrVMEi5M74JEJJ5VPO1kb4v0BmGvG9=s0" width="424" height="283" style="margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"></span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><a href="https://pixabay.com/photos/interior-living-room-luxury-home-768526/" style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(17, 85, 204); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-decoration: underline; text-decoration-skip: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Image</span></a><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Now that we are edging closer and closer to the festive season, we will be hosting get togethers more often and having people around at the house for </span><a href="http://www.3girlsmummy.co.uk/2021/09/positively-contribute-to-mood-of-your.html?m=1" style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(17, 85, 204); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-decoration: underline; text-decoration-skip: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">parties</span></a><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> and dinner throughout the winter. </span></p><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">If you are looking for some simple cleaning jobs you should do this weekend to make your home look clean and tidy, look no further.

The sofa is a piece of furniture we won’t often move, but now and again you should pull it out and clean behind it to avoid too much dust build up. If you haven’t cleaned behind the sofa for a while, now is the time to get the vacuum cleaner out and make sure it is clean and tidy for the winter. </span></p><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Clean your windows </span></p><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">It is so important to keep your </span><a href="https://worldofwindowsltd.co.uk/" style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(17, 85, 204); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-decoration: underline; text-decoration-skip: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">windows</span></a><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> clean, especially during the winter when condensation can build up on a daily basis and provide a perfect home for damp and mould to thrive. Make sure that you clean your windows at least once a week properly and wipe your windows clean each day when condensation forms. This will allow you to keep a clean, dry, and hygiene home all winter long. </span></p><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Bleach the bath </span></p><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Now is the ideal time for you to give your bath a little bit of TLC and bleach it ready for the colder season. Most of us are more likely to enjoy warm baths during the winter, and because of this now is the perfect time to deep clean the bath ready to enjoy a clean tub for your next pamper session. You can fill the bath with water, with some bleach diluted in there and leave it to soak for 1 hour, then empty the tub and scrub the interior to make sure there is no mould or damp. You’ll be left with a wonderful clean bath that smells amazing. </span></p><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Clean out the oven </span></p><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Before cooking all of your roasts this winter, why not take some time this weekend to clean out your oven and get it ready for heavy usage? The oven is such an important appliance and we don’t deep clean it often. Instead of spending money on dangerous chemicals to clean out your oven, instead use baking soda and white vinegar and allow this to fizz and soak for a few hours before you wipe out all of the grease and muck. This is a simple way for you to keep the oven clean without spending money and risking irritation to the lungs. </span></p><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Wipe your door frames </span></p><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Now and again you might notice stains on your doors, and it is all too easy to forget about them and leave them to stay and grow.

In general, different colours work well in other rooms of the house. Let us start with dining room interior decoration ideas.

It is essential to use a comfortable colour that ties in with your </span><a href="https://shawcross.co.uk/collections/dining-chairs" style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(17, 85, 204); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-decoration: underline; text-decoration-skip: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">knocker back dining chairs</span></a><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">, as this will positively contribute to the mood of those who live in or visit that house. The dining room should also feel separate from other living rooms of the house. In addition, it should not be too dark due to small windows, because it should not feel claustrophobic.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">For these reasons, many people like orange, pink and light green for their dining rooms. These colours are warm and evoke a feeling of comfort and ease at the same time as they provide enough stimulation to keep your brain active during your evening meal. This makes them good choices for the dining room interior decoration.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; text-align: center; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="border: none; display: inline-block; overflow: hidden; width: 447px; height: 564px;"><img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/KWyLiLQ7lgq0kj4pLdvJUPxhKB9I1aFXvP7XAqM27YO1uEHRHmXA3w8I_DzcM8NQzydQXqlp-NS7OBKXgOzQBU6IV6r50j25mpfG6SvfzCtyAggrZNb90yWtHSE1TkTyiyYzZBLC=s0" width="447" height="564" style="margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px;" id="id_189b_7d01_3510_18f9"></span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; text-align: center; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 10pt;"><a href="https://www.pexels.com/@houzlook" style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(17, 85, 204); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-decoration: underline; text-decoration-skip: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Image Credit</span></a></p><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">People who are very sensitive to colour might prefer to decorate their dining room in more neutral tones, such as white or pale beige.

However, if your lounge is very big, you could play it safe by using a darker shade of yellow or orange instead-but be careful; this combination might seem too intense for smaller rooms.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; text-align: center; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="border: none; display: inline-block; overflow: hidden; width: 624px; height: 437px;"><img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/bYCM6GNjG5j1p5oJt50povJvhXg5LPRFDa1IPGlfjbEuljLouPEKCF-qcqeDKmKn5ecmeRgGFfImyaGW9J-WL-mmOYeGRXkglV72pAzhJLo-ueIN3nwtt6LU2iCe3qsmhjk5ozg-=s0" width="624" height="437" style="margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px;" id="id_d501_c7b2_674f_1013"></span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; text-align: center; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 10pt;"><a href="https://pixabay.com/users/pexels-2286921/" style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(17, 85, 204); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-decoration: underline; text-decoration-skip: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Image Credit</span></a></p><h2 dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 18pt; margin-bottom: 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 16pt; font-family: Arial; font-weight: 400; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The Bedroom</span></h2><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The bedroom is a place to relax and unwind after a long day at work or looking after the children, so it lends itself more towards calm colours. However, this does not mean that too much colour should be avoided because it can help you to go to sleep faster instead of taking longer than usual when you are in a too dark or uninteresting room.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Many people like to use blue when they decorate their bedrooms because this colour is known to be both relaxing and stimulating at the same time. It also tends not to be too overpowering. It looks good against almost any shade of colour or texture, so it can work well when you are unsure what colour to use.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Blue can be combined with other light colours, such as pale yellow or pale pink, but remember that it might overwhelm the different shades. It is particularly good at calming down contrasting colours such as black and white, so this combination is often used in modern bedroom interior decoration ideas.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Many people like to use grey in the bedroom because this is a calm and soothing colour. It can work well when you do not want to go for any specific shade of blue or purple, but it also complements dark red and orange very well. If you're going to be daring, you could even combine different shades of grey.</span></p><h2 dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 18pt; margin-bottom: 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 16pt; font-family: Arial; font-weight: 400; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The Bathroom</span></h2><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The bathroom is often the smallest room in the house, so you should probably try to use a light colour that will help this room feel bigger. Pale yellow or white are good choices for this reason.</span></p><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">If your bathroom is very small, you can also consider using pale pastel colours - these tend not to be too strong, and they almost always look good. You could use black instead for a more modern appearance, but make sure it does not become too dominant compared to the other shades of colour or texture you use.</span></p><h2 dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 18pt; margin-bottom: 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 16pt; font-family: Arial; font-weight: 400; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The Kitchen</span></h2><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The kitchen is sometimes the only room people have in their house where they can get away from all the furniture and decorations placed in other rooms by previous owners or by interior decorators. This means you can use any colour you like, as long as it is not too dark, and it will work well with the other colours and textures that are already in your home.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 10pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Traditional kitchen interior decoration ideas tend to include red cabinets and pale pink walls because this was one of the most popular combinations used by people who renovated their kitchens many years ago. If you like the idea, there is nothing wrong with this choice, but it might not be as popular today. If you are brave, you could even combine different shades of the same colour to feel more modern.</span></p><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><img src="blob:null/ed9ea59c-8296-46aa-b607-11dfd8e6c51b" id="id_e376_94c5_5a37_b736"><img src="blob:null/e26c0481-4d03-46ce-a30b-e7ecb476c738" id="id_db14_9f76_da3e_6af4"> 3 Girls Mummyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06274381738142179702noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8204667697256162948.post-27355280185525204852021-08-09T21:45:00.001+01:002021-08-09T21:45:03.613+01:00Keeping Your Bedrooms Clutter-Free<p dir="ltr" id="docs-internal-guid-f59a4bfd-7fff-ea44-6b4d-75d45042cc21" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="border: none; display: inline-block; overflow: hidden; width: 602px; height: 397px;"><img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/eiX56j9LGRwjQxvHh-J3osPxqkCBJKlLNYymhzwkM9DeX7LQeXFQ1GX07QZ2VppD5GzlMDCqqbKiF770zs1zhCcwAS4hSANhwoWjQfVfshL3ghawjGmUXlRzy1S4MDpZWKywHHtZ" width="602" height="397" style="margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px;" id="id_d335_5839_51a9_d5f4"></span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; text-align: center; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><a href="https://www.pexels.com/photo/bed-with-bedside-tables-in-bedroom-7031833/" style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="font-size: 8pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(17, 85, 204); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-decoration: underline; text-decoration-skip: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Pexels - CCO Licence</span></a></p><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">When you have a family, it is really easy for clutter to accumulate in the home.

This can be tricky when you have kids who don’t want to give their toys up even if they haven’t played with them in a while, but if you can make it into a game or tell them all about how donating their toys will help less fortunate children, you should have more success. The key is to keep on top of things by scheduling a day each month to get rid of any new clutter that’s crept in.</span></p><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; font-weight: 700; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Invest in storage beds</span></p><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Clutter often builds up because there is simply not enough storage for everything that you own.

Not only are they very budget-friendly, but you and the kids can quickly throw things into them and they will immediately look less cluttered, even if you haven’t really put much effort in.

Here are three ways you can protect your home and its contents:</span></p><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><ol style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; padding-inline-start: 48px;"><li dir="ltr" aria-level="1" style="list-style-type: decimal; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(14, 16, 26); font-weight: 700; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;"><p dir="ltr" role="presentation" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Choose the Right Insurance</span></p></li></ol><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(14, 16, 26); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Insuring your home is usually a requirement stipulated by your mortgage lender, so it is likely you already have an insurance policy in place. But, for your insurance policy to be of use to you, you need to be sure it provides the right level of cover. Having insurance that meets your needs is essential to give you the peace of mind to know you are protected and covered to make a claim should you need to. It is vital to ensure your contents insurance provides enough coverage for all your belongings and you have not underestimated their value and how much it would cost to replace them.

Ensure items such as bikes and scooters are locked away and not left in the garden where they could be easily stolen. It is also vital to keep your tech out of view at home, especially when you go out. Seeing a laptop near a window while you pop to the shops leaves it vulnerable to thieves. If you have recently bought a new bit of tech, the likelihood is it came packaged in a large cardboard box. If you leave this box outside with your recycling, it advertises your possessions to everyone that passes by your house.</span></p><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><ol start="3" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; padding-inline-start: 48px;"><li dir="ltr" aria-level="1" style="list-style-type: decimal; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(14, 16, 26); font-weight: 700; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;"><p dir="ltr" role="presentation" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Add Simple Security Measures</span></p></li></ol><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(14, 16, 26); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">If you do not have the cash to splash on an elaborate security system for your home, don’t worry.

You want the first impressions to be absolutely amazing. This is key for both you and everyone else around you. As someone who will be pulling up to the house every single day, you’re going to want to be happy with what you’re entering. You’re also going to want people you invite over to be impressed with what they see and feel, too. </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(14, 16, 26); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(14, 16, 26); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">When it comes to </span><a href="http://www.3girlsmummy.co.uk/2021/04/3-improvements-you-can-make-to-your-home.html" style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(17, 85, 204); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-decoration: underline; text-decoration-skip: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">making improvements to your home</span></a><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(14, 16, 26); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">, the first impressions matter dearly. The brain makes decisions in a matter of seconds so, if things aren’t great immediately, that means the tone has been set in a negative way. It’s harsh, but that’s how our nature works.

You’ll look at the house itself, but you’ll have to walk on the drive to get there. If this place isn’t looking the best, then it can set the tone for the rest of the experience.

It can be very easy to leave things as they are after coming home from a long day of work. Avoid this kind of laziness – you’ll thank yourself for it later.

However, the opposite is actually true, as moving into a place that requires thorough work is more freeing and often cheaper in the short term.

This will not only regulate your water temperature, but will ensure you have no need for maintenance of such a vital fixture for potentially more than a decade, outside of standard servicing. For this reason, it’s a vital investment to get right.</span></p><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; font-weight: 700; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Keep Unsafe Zones Protected</span></p><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Keep unsafe zones within your household protected. This includes locking doors, using dust sheets to protect against the debris from renovative work, and gates that protect your home from the outside, especially when walls are being knocked down and rebuilt. Furthermore, don’t forget to use signs to help anyone walking onto your property clearly see where the safe and unsafe areas are, for example, allowing your postman to know that mail should be diverted towards the back door. This helps you ensure you only live within the protected and cared for areas going forward.</span></p><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; font-weight: 700; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Ventilate & Clean The House Often</span></p><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">When construction and renovation is taking place within a home, it tends to kick up plenty of dust and debris. While the prior dust sheets can help and ensure an area is protected, it’s also true to say that you cannot contain it all. For this reason (especially if you have infants or the elderly in your home), it’s important to make sure you clean around these adjacent rooms often, and make sure all rooms are well ventilated, especially if plaster or paint is drying, and certainly if adhesives are being used. This way, you can ensure you’re safe while work is being carried out, and that you need not be put in harms way.</span></p><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"><p dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">With this advice ,we hope you can move into a home with a need of </span><a href="https://www.architecturaldigest.com/story/home-renovation-mistakes-new-homeowners-make" style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(17, 85, 204); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-decoration: underline; text-decoration-skip: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">renovation</span></a><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> more readily.</span></p><img src="blob:null/22c1c00d-1563-4958-b6c8-921221f5a9b4"> 3 Girls Mummyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06274381738142179702noreply@blogger.com1
