What does creativity mean to you? For me creativity should be a part of everyday living! Creativity comes in so many different forms and can mean something different to everyone. If you can find a way to be creative in your daily life then that is the best way to live – whether it be drawing, painting, photography, cooking or whatever you are passionate about. Do more of it more often!

I am sure as moms you have tried it all when it comes to soothing your baby, either trying to get them to sleep or simply calming a cranky baby. I found one thing that always worked for me when trying to calm my girls was music. I played music for them long before they were born and have very vivid memories of lagging a CD player everywhere we went, so that they would not be without their music!
Needless to say technology has moved on somewhat since then and Majors for minors have recently released a collection of music apps called Sleep Wizzz. These amazing apps are on hand no matter where you are: in the car, out at friends or travelling the world!
Sleep Wizzz is a collection of 3 apps designed to help the parent in forming a progressive calming environment to stimulate the baby or infant to a state of calm and eventually sleep. The music is designed with a specific tempo to echo the rhythm in the brain and the frequencies are in line with those of the sounds of the ocean or pink noise.”
The three apps are called Bedtime, Playtime and Storytime.

Do you ever feel the need to change your life or have aspirations to be something more? Well then this is just the book for you….
It was my first occasion reading a Carole Matthews book and I was pleasantly surprised. She has a wonderful ability to create true to life characters, which you as the reader can really relate to.
The main character, Nell McNamara, is someone who I instantly warmed to and found myself identifying with, even though our lives could not be more different. Nell is a young British mom, essentially doing everything in her power to survive the economic crunch while at the same time trying to provide a loving home for her four-year old daughter Petal, and long-term boyfriend Olly. She holds down a job at a local chip shop, but has aspirations for a more creative and fulfilling career.
Just to maintain their basic existence, Olly holds down two jobs of his own, and the fact that they both works shifts, does not allow for much family time. Despite the challenges, they seem to make do with what they have. That is until Nell displays some form of artistic flare while revamping the chip shop, with astounding results. Thus begins her journey to reinvent herself and build a “better” life for her family.
After a short-lived course at a local design college, Nell feels the despair that most working moms often do, when trying to juggle work, studies and a family. Even though college does not work out, Nell still feels the need to pursue a more creative path, this leads her to follow her dream of owning her own handbag boutique. Nell has somewhat of a fetish for handbags (a trait passed down from her mother) and finds that she is a natural when it comes to designing them.
Without giving too much of the story away, this is when it all begins to go a bit awry and her dream threatens to become more of a nightmare. Can Nell handle the emotional and financial pressure of a business, without losing her family, and will it all be worth it in the end?
Summer Daydreams is full of fun and many laugh-out-loud moments, as well as nail-biting, real-life drama! I thoroughly enjoyed it! It is definitely a book to take on holiday with you, when time is not of the essence, as I could not put it down.
