How to Design a Room the Kids Will Love While Keeping Things Timeless
Kids go through so many fads and phases. From wanting to transform their room into a superheroes’ den to demanding something that’s more ‘grown-up’, it’s hard to keep up with their changing taste – not to mention expensive. However, with a few simple tricks, you can create a room they’ll love but one that will adapt to these ever-changing preferences. Here’s how: Choose a Neutral Colour Scheme In order to make sure you’re not decorating all of the time, opt for a paint colour that’ll evolve with different interior schemes.

It’s just the start of November here and the temperature already dropped to 8-10C during the day and 2-4C during the night.

Being at home is great!
And so the holiday is now finished! Back to my home town and life of a “single” mother. From the moment we arrived at the airport everything seemed to get back to it’s place. My girls and my parents were so happy to see each other again and of course my eldest was the one that was the most talkative all the way from the airport to my hometown. Unfortunately I don’t take any pictures of them together to see their enthusiasm of getting together again. It was night and we were all very tired…My mum even share a tear when she saw all of us arrive through the airport…
