How to Achieve a work Life Balance

How to achieve a work/life balance  

Practical solutions to the four most common work/life balance problems. 
Work life balance 
We all want to have a happy balance between our personal and professional lives. But how can we go about it? Linda Smith tackles the four most common work/life balance problems. 
You want to spend more time with family and friends: 
Make a commitment that when you come home from work, you are going to inspire, rather than drain, the people you love. Don’t dwell on work problems - your kids and friends don’t care, they want the fun version of you, not the work version. Make a time, say from 6pm-9pm, when your phone and laptop are switched off and you don’t think about work. Schedule a regular date night with your partner, or a girls night with friends once a month - whatever you need to make you feel like you are in control of your life rather than just being controlled by work. 
You want to bolster your health and fitness: 
Rather than say ‘I want to go to the gym more’, set yourself more specific goals like ‘I want to lose 10kg in 12 months’, ‘I want to train for the upcoming 10km fun run’, or ‘I want to attend three gym classes a week’. Then schedule exercise into your diary just as you would a business meeting, or trip to the dentist, so you can achieve these goals. If you fall off the wagon then get back on - if an important, last-minute work meeting clashes with your scheduled yoga class don’t get angry at your boss and give up on your road to a balanced lifestyle, simply take a few deep breaths and reschedule the yoga class - finding balance is all about flexibility and adaptability. 
You want to work less for others and work more on own pursuits: 
Chucking in your job to follow your dreams of running your own business is good in theory, but it’s hard work. Start slowly. If possible cut back your working hours to four days week and use the extra day to build your business at home. Also question if it’s what you really want. Working in your PJs might sound nice, but consider whether working at home will suit you -- it’s not going to work if you hate being alone or can’t work without a boss or colleagues to motivate you, and it may not be the best option for you if you value financial security and feel stressed without a regular pay packet. 
You want to declutter your life: 
Emotional and physical baggage can hold us back from a balanced lifestyle. So clean out your spare room and your wardrobe, create a filing system for paperwork and ditch friends who drag you down. Use your smartphone to program daily reminders for tasks such as taking your multivitamin, to reduce the amount of mental clutter. Simplicity is one of the most valuable conditions you can get in the quest for that elusive ‘balance’.

Say Hello to your Child's new best friend Muzzy BBC

MuzzyBBC & Language Acquisition Give Your Kid the Gift That Lasts a Lifetime

How often have you bought your kid that one toy they just had to have only to find that less than a week later it holds absolutely no interest for your child? The toy likely ended up discarded in a pile, taking up space, no longer played with. I know you’ve been there and done that. 
So this holiday season, why not give your child a gift that last a lifetime?
As a Mom, giving your child the opportunity to learn a new language is a present that gives your kid an edge in life, builds valuable skills, and is something that will be with them forever.  
Starting at young age is important. And Muzzy is the ideal vehicle to send your child down the path of learning a new language. Developed by the BBC, the Muzzy system has introduced millions of children worldwide another language. Muzzy uses animated videos featuring a host of fun characters in order to convey its language lessons. The end result provides children with a lot advantages. 
As a Mom, you want your children to have:
Better communication skills by being exposed to multiple languages and be more effective at communicating ideas. Bilingual kids are better at reasoning their way through complex ideas and then expressing them in a clear manner.
Develop skills that translate to other subjects including math and reading. Children that know multiple languages are more successful at math than children who speak just one language. Their reading skills also develop quicker than those of their monolingual counterparts. 
Be more culturally aware by understanding other societies through language and see that the world is interconnected.
Show improved cognitive flexibility thus allowing them to go with the flow and be well-adjusted.
Display Enhanced creativity because shifting from language to language gives children the capacity to use information in new and different ways.
Improved memory by learning to retain more information.
Sharpen listening skills, which results in being able to follow directions and complete tasks in a more timely and accurate way.

This is the ultimate gift for your child.

This Post may contain Affiliate Links.






More of a candy than a cookie, slices of colored marshmallows create the "stained glass" in a chocolaty window surrounded by flaked coconut.
Makes about 60
1/4 pound butter or margarine
1 (12-ounce) package semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup chopped walnuts
1 (12-ounce) package colored mini marshmallows (about 9 cups)
7 ounces sweetened grated coconut (about 2 cups) 

  Heat butter and chocolate chips in the top of a double boiler over low heat, stirring occasionally, until melted and smooth. Cool slightly. Toss marshmallows and nuts in a large bowl; stir in chocolate. Tear five 9-inch sheets of waxed paper and sprinkle each generously with coconut. Divide dough into fifths and place each fifth on a sheet of waxed paper. Roll tightly into 2-inch diameter logs and refrigerate overnight or until firm. Before serving, unwrap from waxed paper and cut into 1/2" slices.

1/3 cup heavy cream
4 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
1/2 cup cocoa powder

Heat the cream almost to a boil. Put the chopped chocolate in a medium bowl, pour the hot cream over it, and whisk gently until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth. (Hint: up until this point, this is just a simple ganache). Allow to cool and harden. When ganache is solid enough to manipulate, scoop into 1" balls and roll in cocoa. Yield: Makes about 24 truffles or 2/3 cup of ganache.
