Welcome to Blogtober 2021 Tag

It is October once again, which means many blogs are taking on the Blogtober challenge! Last year, we smashed it out of the park, creating a Autumn or Halloween themed post each and every day for October – which was such a fun challenge. This year, we wanted to do things a bit differently. You see, we do post each and every day – and have so many amazing collabs in the works, that we feel it would be best if we continue with posting every day, but include an Autumn or Halloween themed post every other day, creating a further collection of Autumn posts. This sort of combines both the traditional challenge of posting every day with the theme of Autumn, which is something we enjoy including. As a start to our Blogtober challenge, much like last year, we have created a Tag and teamed up with a bunch of other bloggers that are also taking part in Blogtober.

The Garden of Uncle Tim teaches children about gardening

[Ad- gifted product] When it comes to stories, we tend to read many, many different stories each and every night. Robin, Amelia and Kai (even Kai!) are still interested in bedtime stories, so we are always willing to try out new ones and see what the kids think. Both Robin and Amelia have planted plans before – they have a few growing in pots in the back garden right now, so The Garden of Uncle Tim seemed like a perfect match.

Everything You Need before getting a Cat

[Ad- collab] When it comes to getting a cat for the first time, there is actually a lot you might need to consider and pick up before your furry friend comes to your home. Cats actually have a lot more personality then people tend to think – they each have likes, dislikes, and various needs that have to be considered before they are settled into your home and happily living among your family. We have two, very different, cats in our home – and have prepared for the two of them before they arrived, to ensure they have a lovely life. We hope this article helps you with your new cat.

Pros and Cons of a Fixer-Upper

There are numerous ways to get on the property ladder. First time buyers in the jaw-droppingly expensive capital might go down the shared ownership property in London route, or perhaps they’ll look at buying a house that needs a lot of work doing to it (a ‘fixer-upper’). Fixer-uppers aren’t for the faint-hearted. Of course, houses that need work done to them vary from needing new flooring to needing an actual floor, but let’s have a look at some of the pros and cons of a fixer-upper.

A Day Out at Saratoga Race Course

While visiting my family, one of the things we ended up going out and doing is betting on some horses at the local race course. Saratoga Race Course is a track I do remember going to as a child, but had no idea Taid, my grandfather, went every single year, because he was taken by his father to see the horses race. With very little experience at race courses, my sister and I were curious, and my dad actually didn’t know the betting system at all, so it was an interesting and time.
