The Best Ways to Brighten Up Your Home

I really don’t like darkness. When I was growing up, my family’s home always seemed just a bit too dark. The flooring was dark, the only lights were from small table lights, and it just wasn’t as lit as the house I am currently living in. As someone who really thrives in light – and someone who lives in the UK now, where it is fairly dark and grey -getting the most out of the light in your home is just needed. Here are some of the best tips when considering how to make your room feel lighter.

7ate9 Family Friendly Game | Review

[Ad- gifted product] 7ate9 is the latest one of the Ideal family game collection to be doing the rounds at the house – it’s a fun little card game based around quick maths and hand management. It’s also, like the other recent Ideal games which I’ve written about, got a really cool, compact storage option that comes with it. In 7ate9 the goal is quite simple, as a matter of fact, you just have to get rid of all of your cards before the other players.

Each card is oval-shaped, with a main number printed twice in the middle of it – so it can be seen from upside-down and right-side-up. This number can be from 1 through to 10, with ten. Then, in the corner of each card, there is a plus and minus symbol as well as a number from 1 to 3. Each card is coloured to match this little, top-corner multiplier – useful to remember for quicker play.
