As a mom to 2 young athletes and 2 anxiously waiting for their turn to hit the field I know just how overwhelming being the parent of an athlete can be.

Take up a new hobby
As children, most of us have lots of hobbies. We’re open minded to trying new things, and get enjoyment of new experiences. As adults, we can fall into a routine, many of us convincing ourselves that we have neither the time or energy to spend on such things. However, it shouldn’t be the case- hobbies are essential for people of all ages. They introduce you to like minded people and they help to build your skills. They help to break up a boring routine and can really give you purpose. It’s rewarding knowing that you’re improving, and throughout that hour or so that you spend on your hobby, it gives you a break from daily life. It could be as simple or as complicated as you like- if you want or need a hobby from home, how about blogging, baking, crafting or gardening? If you want something active, a team sport could be a lot of fun or you could attend a class. Most gyms offer these for free if you already have a membership so is something to look into. You’ll already be well aware of the fact that exercise can boost endorphins and mood, so something like this could kill two birds with one stone.
Learn something new
We as humans crave new knowledge, but again as we reach adulthood we tend to stop learning. Unless you have a job that constantly teaches you new things, chance are you do the same tasks day in, day out. One way to get around this is by going ‘back to school’- although these days you can do this online from home! You can study just about anything online, so whether you want a psychology degree or you’re looking at online msn programs, there’s something out there for you. This could allow you to gain a promotion or even change careers to something you’d be happier in. At the very least, it enables you to learn new things which can be great for your mental health.
Meet new people
Meeting new people as an adult can be difficult- everyone is busy with their own lives, and chance are you don’t even see your own close friends as much as you’d like. But actually, finding the time to socialize with new people can be so rewarding. Apps like Bumble BFF and Meetup put you in contact with people you’re likely to be interested in, and are well worth checking out.

It’s finally spring! Lets open the windows, get cleaning and freshin up our interior look. One of my favorite ways to freshin up my interior is to hang new pictures of my family. While I love the look of frames, I also love to mix it up and throw a canvas print in there every now and then. When buying canvas you don’t want to just go with any old company, you want a good quality canvas for little cost which can be hard to come by. I recently tried out Canvas Champ and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of these inexpensive canvas prints.

Check out the new trailer and poster for THE BFG! The film, which is directed by Steven Spielberg and based on the best-selling book by Roald Dahl, hits theaters everywhere on July 1st!
The talents of three of the world’s greatest storytellers – Roald Dahl, Walt Disney and Steven Spielberg – finally unite to bring Dahl’s beloved classic “The BFG” to life. Directed by Spielberg, Disney’s “The BFG” tells the imaginative story of a young girl and the Giant who introduces her to the wonders and perils of Giant Country. The BFG (Mark Rylance), while a giant himself, is a Big Friendly Giant and nothing like the other inhabitants of Giant Country. Standing 24-feet tall with enormous ears and a keen sense of smell, he is endearingly dim-witted and keeps to himself for the most part. Giants like Bloodbottler (Bill Hader) and Fleshlumpeater (Jemaine Clement) on the other hand, are twice as big and at least twice as scary and have been known to eat humans, while the BFG prefers Snozzcumber and Frobscottle. Upon her arrival in Giant Country, Sophie, a precocious 10-year-old girl from London, is initially frightened of the mysterious giant who has brought her to his cave, but soon comes to realize that the BFG is actually quite gentle and charming, and, having never met a giant before, has many questions. The BFG brings Sophie to Dream Country where he collects dreams and sends them to children, teaching her all about the magic and mystery of dreams. Having both been on their own in the world up until now, their affection for one another quickly grows, but Sophie’s presence in Giant Country has attracted the unwanted attention of the other giants, who have become increasingly more bothersome. Sophie and the BFG soon depart for London to see the Queen (Penelope Wilton) and warn her of the precarious giant situation, but they must first convince the Queen and her maid, Mary (Rebecca Hall), that giants do indeed exist. Together, they come up with a plan to get rid of the giants once and for all.
THE BFG hits theaters everywhere on July 1st!
