Poor credit score? What on earth does that mean? When I was younger I had no financial intelligence whatsoever. I didn’t have a clue about budgeting, finances or even what a credit score was, let alone a poor credit score. I certainly didn’t understand how important it was to have a good credit score. I…
Personal boundaries have become more important to me recently. Due to my daughter’s activity schedule, once a week I have to spend time with another Mother who I don’t particularly gel with. We are very different individuals and have a completely opposite approach to parenting, but that’s a whole other post entirely. Our daughters get on…
Eden Hall Day Spa really know how to set the tone. When I walked in to the reception on a particularly blustery day in Nottinghamshire I was greeted with a very warm welcome and a cup of caramel hot chocolate. I hadn’t been to Nottinghamshire since I visited the Nottinghamshire based IT services provider, Custard,…
Instagram is my favourite social media platform by far. Since starting Zena’s Suitcase 2 years ago I’ve discovered that I love taking photographs. I also love looking at other people’s photographs. Instagram is the obvious social media platform for me to be on and I’ve become a little bit addicted to it.
This has plagued me ever since I was a child so I’ve learnt a few tips about how to treat tonsillitis. I have no idea why I didn’t have my tonsils out when I was young, as it would save me a whole heap of trouble now. My tonsils are huge by anyones standards and…
As we get closer to spring, I’m starting to think about how to make the garden fun for kids to play in. I know some people like the idea of having a swimming pool in their garden and that’s fine if that’s something you want. You could even take a look at using someone like…
Sausages are a big feature in our family life. I think my daughter proclaimed them as her favourite food as soon as she could master the word. They typically feature in our weekend breakfasts and I also have a huge fondness for them from my childhood.
We love eating out as a family. It’s great having a break from the cooking and when you’ve got small children like us, it’s nice to have someone else clear up after them. At this point it’s probably wise for me to apologise for the scene of devastation my kids leave behind at all the restaurants…
2015 has been a very strange year for me, in a good way as it turns out. Phew, as that wouldn’t make for a very good blog post now would it? It has been about heeling and moving forward and I finally feel like I’m there and ready to face 2016 head on. It’s taken a long…
Education and lifelong learning is now centre stage in many people’s lives. Whereas once, education was the sole preserve of the classroom and education ended the day young people walked out of the school doors for the last time, modern day education courses are perfect for anybody in any walk of life, and at any…
I don’t get to spend time with my sister that often, even though she only lives 5 minutes away. Sometimes it’s not distance that makes these things difficult. Lifestyle can play a part in it being hard to get together.
So when did it happen to you? It might not have done, but with 1 in 2 women in the UK suffering with light bladder weakness there’s a good chance it has, so what do you do about it? How do you take control of those oooops moments and carry on with our busy lives?

A scooter will feature on so many Christmas present lists to Santa this year I thought it would be great to share with you this cool infographic. These great scooter tips and tricks will help your children get the most from their new toy and have a lot of fun.
Over the last few weeks I’ve been taking a more mindful approach to getting ready for bed and getting off to sleep. Good restful sleep is so important to our well being, it really is worth approaching it in the right way.
Parking on the street. Why is it such an issue? Why does it turn someone from a seemingly rational individual into territory crazed note writing maniac. This post has been brewing for a while as I seem to be surrounded by people who are writing their own rules for parking their cars on the street…
