The Corona Virus keeping you at home? How to work from home with kids around

The COVID 19 pandemic has made it increasingly common for companies to ask employees to work from home. Schools are closed and kids are also at home.Social distancing is a prime necessity today especially as we have to all work towards slowing down and deterring the virus from spreading for the sake of our kids and our elderly. While the world gets a grip on the virus, you have to get a grip on how to be your most productive at home.  Many of us have worked from home on occasion, but this is different also because we do not yet have a resolution in sight for the Corona Virus and it may be sometime before we can actually go back to business as usual.

Why is digital detox important for kids

Internet Addiction Syndrome is a well-recognized and documented issue that plagues everyone and the younger you are, the easier it is to be mesmerized by digital screens. Late night screen usage can affect sleep hormones, and lack of sleep, in turn, can affect the day after at school, at play and studies. There is also the issue of low self-esteem that social media has been linked to in older children and even adults.

Does minimalism work when you have little kids?

Does minimalism work when you have little kids?

Labels can be restricting. So you can adopt the minimalism you wish to practice. You must feel comfortable and not forced in any way to adopt all these ideas. Each person can decide how much of a minimalist lifestyle they want to lead. It can be done in stages too. There are books, podcasts and videos that explain how you can adopt a minimalist life style that suits you. Tell us what you would like to hear about minimalism and we can try and bring it to you. 
Happy decluttering!!

Sharenting! When is information about our kids too much information?

Sharenting! When is information about our kids too much information?

What is sharenting?

Sharenting (or over-sharenting) is the overuse of social media by parents to share content based on their children, such as baby pictures or details of their children's activities. It is related to the concept of "too much information", says Wikipedia. You probably also know how it is! A child’s first step? Must be photographed right away and shared with all those who love the baby. Of course it must, but it’s about whom with and how you share it. Why leave out Baby aunty who knew you from when you were a young one? Should the whole world see it? Or should it be just those who know you personally?
