An ice lolly to help your kids stay cool in summer

Blogger Tales of a Twin Mum and her kids

Fitting in school, homework and activities, cooking healthy dinners, working, refereeing fights, making everyone share - I constantly feel like I'm battling to stay balanced and, like all parents, it's easy to wonder whether I'm doing enough.

Since moving to Australia, I've become immersed in the world of online business creation. It all started when I began freelance writing for an entrepreneur just after we arrived, and then before I knew it I was hooked on the idea of building a business online. Over the last couple of years, I've spent hours doing paid online courses and free online training. I've probably joined hundreds of Facebook groups and added myself to more email lists than I can count. The idea of online learning is so . . . Keep Reading
