How to Keep Up with Work Clients When on a Family Day Out

Posted on March 9, 2021December 13, 2021 by Contributor

Entrepreneurs are known to be incredibly hard workers. It’s this quality that tends to be the backbone of their success, as it drives them to keep going and be successful in their ventures. And while that energy, drive, passion, and strong work ethic are great for business, it can be difficult to balance it with personal time and time spent with the family. Just because it may be after hours, it doesn’t mean business comes to a standstill, which entrepreneurs then try to juggle.

So, what happens if you’re a business owner, an entrepreneur, and it’s a family day out? How can you keep up with work clients while still being present and part of your family day? Here are some practical tips and steps you can use that will help you to enjoy family time without having to completely shut out your work clients.

The last year has been incredibly hard for everyone, and those of us with kids will know that the distance between us and our friends and loved ones has felt enormous. All the video calls in the world don’t change the fact that our children have not been able to see their cousins, uncles and aunts and grandparents in person for months.

4 Tips for Creating Open Plan Houses

Posted on November 24, 2020August 27, 2024 by Contributor

The newest trend in England seems to be creating more open plan houses! So many houses within this country seem to have been boxed up, to get the most flats out of their limited divided spaces, but as families are growing – they are looking for the more American styled, open-planned houses! There are lots of renovations that can be done to make your home more open planned, provided you have the money and drive to change your home around. The house attached to ours, actually, is currently renovating their house to make it more marketable in this climate! With this in mind, I figured I’d share some tips on making a home more open plan when doing renos!

Think About Flow

Often when people think about open plan, they start removing walls. This is a great starting point, however, flow needs to be kept in mind. In the last year, I cannot tell you how many houses had just started destroying walls, creating rooms that had no flow. I went into one house that had you open the front door onto the sit down dining room, as it was just a very long, separated room, with a small archway into the actual living room – as there was no walls left for a TV to fit and a couch! Even if your home is open planned, you will need to actually do the planning of where rooms would be and how the flow from the front of the house into the rest of the house would feel.

Silverware for Modern Living

Posted on November 10, 2020November 10, 2020 by Contributor

More and more, modern living is turning towards minimalism. People have been influenced by things like Marie Kondo’s hugely successful book and series focussed on tidying up, removing what is no longer needed and keeping on that which sparks joy. Some people have resisted this movement, becoming more ‘maximalist’ than ever, but many appear to have embraced the ethos that less truly is more.

With this mindset, we’re going to look at silverware – something which is typically regarded as being out-dated – and explore how it can be utilised in the modern world.

Candlesticks

Candles are one thing that definitely hasn’t suffered from the movement towards minimalism. There never seems to be enough candles, in fact. Which makes it reasonable that candlesticks have a long life ahead of them yet. Silver candlesticks are a versatile form of silverware, as they match most styles and colours. Although some people may think that candlesticks are large and intrusive, there is in fact an enormous range of styles and sizes to choose from when it comes to candlesticks. If you like a romantic dinner or a luscious bath time, don’t rule candlesticks out of your life.
