🧀 Happy Cheese Lovers Day! 🐭

Yes I know the picture is of a chocolate covered Max but cheese doesn't have the same impact in a photo but trust me, if he could have been covered in cheese, he would have been, he LOVES it!

Following on from our Blue Monday post earlier in the week, one of the positives to come from the day to celebrate and look after ourselves was 'Quit a bad habit'!

Well I don't know about you but I have never eaten so much cheese as I did over the Christmas period and as much as I thoroughly enjoyed it, it is now time to quit that habit and bring my cheese levels back down to grated on top of Bolognese and sliced for cheese on toast!!

What habit would you like to/trying to quit?

We all know getting outside and getting active is great for our mental health and it is the same for the kids.

We love exploring the great outdoors and Samuel will always find a challenge to make it more interesting, from taking his friend down the steepest hill at @ntdunstabledowns (who doesn't love exploring a @natioanltrust site) then having to climb all the way back up to challenging himself on a tree top challenge at @goapewendover.

We are also very lucky to have lots of friends and family with dogs so love a dog walk, throwing sticks and chasing them whilst burning off energy, getting the steps up, raising the heart rate and breathing in beautiful green space air without realising it!

We have lots of outdoor activities on the website, including our bestselling scavenger hunt, perfect for little hands and weather proof! Please do take a look, link in the bio!

How do you enjoy keeping healthy?

💙 Happy Blue Monday! 💙

This time of year is known as Blue (or Brew) Monday, a time when Christmas euphoria is over and the bills start to come in. The weather is dreary and it gets dark early.

We, however, want to celebrate Blue Monday with ways to beat it and also as a reminder to look after ourselves and those around us!

5 RESOLUTIONS TO BEAT BLUE MONDAY
- Get healthy
Happiness and health is frequently anecdotally linked and “laughter is the best medicine” is a cliche for a reason.
- Be money-wise
Money is never far from our thoughts and saving more or spending less of it comes in as the second most common type of resolution.
- Learn something new
There’s evidence that fun diversions contribute to good mental health, with studies showing people who engage in hobbies enjoy better moods and less stress.
- Quit a bad habit
Since Blue Monday falls just after the new year, there’s no better time to kick a bad habit.
- Focus on quality time
Activities such as reading, planning out goals, journaling and spending more time with friends and family often creates a sense of peace and happiness.

WHY BLUE MONDAY IS IMPORTANT
- Checking in on mental health
The day is a good reminder to check in on your mental health if experiencing symptoms of depression. It is also a reminder to reach out to others who may be suffering.

- A reminder to exercise
We all know exercise improves our mood. Don’t let the winter blues and cold weather prevent an ongoing exercise routine. For many people, sticking to an exercise plan is easier when an encouraging partner or friend is around to boost motivation and commit to staying on track.

- Enhancing vitamin D levels
Vitamin D levels can drastically decline during winter months due to spending less time in the sun, which can seriously affect our moods. Luckily, vitamin D supplements tend to be as beneficial for us as the sun, as well as nutrient-rich foods such as egg yolks and fatty fish.

Birthday parties have cranked up a notch in our house so I am currently trying to get cards and presents bought and ready to go so there is no last minute panic.

We currently have a Winter Sale on and have some fab gift ideas for children's birthdays, not only will this mean you are saving a few pennies (which could be used for an extra little something) but will also mean you can tick a few birthdays off the list.

Alternatively, why not allow the children to have a browse for a Christmas or Birthday money purchase?

Please do get in contact if you have any questions or feedback, we really do love hearing from our customers.

Gill's turn...

I am Gill, one half of Little Active People.
I am married with 2 children who are 10 and 6 years.

I'm a proud Yorkshire lass, with my parents still living up there whilst my sister has moved to Pembrokeshire in Wales. So whilst I don't get to see my family as often as I'd like, we do get to at least visit some beautiful parts of the UK!

My background is retail at Boots (if you look in my cupboards you can still see that I worked in a shop!) and operational management at Heathrow Express, where I became a bit of a railway geek!! 😂 I am very methodical and love working my way through my to do lists....does anyone else add to their list with something they've already done but wasn't on the list just so they have the satisfaction of ticking it off?!

5 things about me...
- I love travelling, whether it be to see family or head to other countries so pre pandemic I was always plotting weekends or holidays! I did find it really tough during the pandemic, not being able to see family or friends and have that time away. I have family in the USA and France too which has meant more time connecting with them on zoom - I do miss seeing them face to face! Last year, I managed to go on a sailing trip with family and friends to Croatia and loved it so much!

- I am a Brownie Leader and have been involved in the Guiding movement since I was a Rainbow myself. I love the ethos that it has for girls and the experiences that it gives them. Amy has just finished being a Brownie and is now going up to Guides, and later this year Poppy (Jemma's middle child) and Ember (my youngest), will join....not sure I'm ready for those two crazies! 😂

- I love a spa trip and could quite happily live at Ragdale Hall. During the lockdowns, I did spa afternoons with the girls which they absolutely loved!

- I love James Bond and managed to get to go to the premier of Spectre back in 2016 plus go to the after party and meet Daniel Craig himself.

- I can never have enough custard! 😂

As it's the start of a new year & we have had so many lovely new followers, we thought we would introduce ourselves again.

I am Jemma, one half of Little Active People.
I am married with 3 children who are 9 years, 6 years and 22 months.

My background is very much within customer service, having studied my degree in Hospitality Management, I started working within hotels running events until I eventually got into the office, organising them which I loved it!

I then moved to retail, working as a manager for M&S, again, I loved it, working with lots of people, talking with lots of people, managing a team, helping find solutions for customers etc but then the reality of working in industries that are basically 24/7 these days and having a family started to take it's toll which is when I left and started Little Active People with Gill.

5 things about me...
- I have always enjoyed sport, have never been that great at it but I love it. I ran the London Marathon in 2005 and from there started to play rugby and from there, my team mates and I found all sorts of challenges to complete from triathlons to London to Brighton Bike Ride to the 3 peaks challenge ⛰️

- I hate the sides of boats! No idea why, they literally make my skin crawl when I see one, mainly the part that goes under water! 🤷

- I am one of 3, I have 2 brothers, one older and one younger & we are all very close. We are all 18 months apart from each other and when I was younger I wanted the same with my children. When Samuel was 9 months old I realised what am absolute hero my mum really was!! 🦸

- I love flip flops & wear them as often and for as long as I can! ☀️ (there's no flip flop emoji!! What's that all about??)

-This one might seem a bit awkward but I believe it's good to talk... I had a miscarriage in 2017 making Max our rainbow baby, we waited a while for him but he is our silver lining to lockdown 2020! 🌈

So there you have it, some random pieces of information about me!
One last thing, I give great hugs & am always here to listen and give one! x
