Into the Blue are celebrating Super hero dads
In real life a super hero doesn’t fly whilst wearing a cape, nor does he have super muscles of steel, he certainly doesn’t save the world. Instead he can be the person who you can always turn to, the one who you know would always be there for you in times of happiness or trouble, one who can make you laugh and smile on even the bleakest days. Yes, the dads in my life are pretty super, even though I say it myself. If you are still trying to decide what to get for your super dad this Father’s Day (now less than 2 weeks away), maybe you should take…

How to properly heal after an injury
All those that are doing sports can expect to be injured sooner or later. This is a usual part of the process. Naturally, nobody wants to get hurt and nobody expects it to happen. But the reality is that our bones and muscles are not indestructible. Like our entire body, they are susceptible to injuries and different issues that may occur during the training. Although we can’t control when or how we are going to get hurt, it is important for us to be reactive if such situation occurs. We need to know everything there is in order to counteract the consequences and return our body to an optimal shape.…

The Sainsbury’s Indoor Grand Prix – Just record breaking!
Saturday 21st February 2015 will be a date that will forever be embedded in my memory. It is the day I attended my first, proper athletics event, the Sainsbury’s Indoor GP at Birmingham’s Barclaycard Arena. It was a day I enjoyed wonderful hospitality whilst marveling at the pace and prowess of the likes of Kim Collins, Greg Rutherford and Nigel Levine. And it is the day I cheered, shook and literally screamed myself hoarse as the legendary Mo Farah broke the world record in the men’s 2 mile race. It was an unbelievable day. Joe has been interested in Athletics since the Olympics in 2012. He became fairly obsessed with…

It’s the weekend – so what to do?
I love that Friday feeling when you know the weekend is finally here. Even though I work from home, I take time off at the weekend to get out and about and to enjoy quality family time with my little boy and hubby. Sometimes (if we’re very lucky) this can involve ‘date night’, at other times we can have a special activity or event planned that we are all involved in. If you’re still deciding what to do with your weekend, here are a few things you could be doing – and none of them involve shopping! If you have no children LFW It’s London Fashion Week and the fun…

Win Sponsored Child Places with KalliKids
No-one ever really tells you just how expensive it is being a parent. As well as the clothes and toys, the food, the holidays, the school expenses, you also have to think about all the extra-curricular activities that help your child to develop as a person and give them so much fun and satisfaction. My little boy Joe is 6 and currently takes part in football coaching, karate lessons and swimming lessons which cost nearly £20 per week. For some parents, in these days of budget cooks, food banks and austerity, these added expenses would be an expense too much, and so, consequently, some children miss out on these fabulous,…
