Internet Safety For Kids and Teens
Looking back, it seemed that when I was a little girl ‘safety’ was a word that was mainly applied to crossing the road, stranger danger and kids being in the kitchen. Computers were just beginning to take off and the internet was unheard of. These days are very different. Children are growing up in an internet age, and using computers, laptops and tablets bring a very specific set of threats and dangers that parents have to be aware of, and in control of.

I take literally hundreds of photographs:- of my family, of my outfits, of my holidays, it is true to say I never travel anywhere without a camera. I have photograph albums everywhere,…

We know about the dangers of drinking to excess and smoking, with many now ditching traditional cigarettes for e-cigs or vaping. We worry about polluting our planet, recyling our plastic bottles and rubbish, and reusing our carrier bags, generally trying to look after ourselves, whilst looking after our planet at the same time. And yet, in our work lives, in our home downtime, and even when we are using our ever present smartphones, we over expose ourselves to electronic…

The Rocket Singing Machine – Fabulous Fun!
If you have a budding Adele or Ed Sheeran, then you may want to take a look at the Rocket Singing Machine. Promising to turn any music fan into a ‘singing superstar’, the easy to use microphone not only allows your voice to be amplified, it also allows you to add echo and sound effects. You can also link it to the internet via Bluetooth, thus allowing you to also play music through the singing machine that you can then sing along too. This is hours of fun for your children, and also a perfect addition to house parties for karaoke fans (although you might want to invest in some…
