I‘m not entirely sure how long the term unplugging has been a thing.
It used to be (back in the day) that if you were told you to unplug it was because your parents were trying to save money on the leckie bill.
Someone once told my dad that if you unplugged the toaster, you’d save 5p on every bill.
But nowadays, the term unplugging comes with a whole new meaning.
Unplugging in 2020 means getting off the internet, stop watching so much telly and telling your son to look up from his phone so that his neck doesn’t develop a permanent hump.

But when I found out that there was an organisation called Couchsurfing that would allow me to travel the world with my teenagers (for free) while meeting other like-minded people, I jumped at it.
Yes, it would mean that we’d be sleeping under the same roof of complete strangers, maybe even on a couch, but we’d get to know interesting people and listen to stories that I hadn’t heard a thousand times before.
And who knows? They might even invite my teenagers to stay for a few years.

Because it was Fathers Day, I said my husband that on this week’s podcast episode we should talk about him being a homeschooling dad. Give some tips to all the other dads, husbands or partners out there that are currently faced with being a new homeschooling parent.
If you are wondering how to balance homeschooling and working at the same time then you are in the right place.
I have been homeschooling for almost ten years, and for the second time in my homeschooling career, I find myself, once again, in the position of balancing homeschooling with earning some money.
That’s one of the benefits of homeschooling – you get to learn from your mistakes and then you become brilliant. Or at the very least, really good.
Are you a multi-tasker? Of course, you are, you’re a parent! Then why not listen to my podcast how to homeschool and work at the same time while you read?
If you have always dreamt of living in New Zealand, are under 30 years old and have a bit of dosh saved up (enough to get you back to your own country) you can spend a year working in New Zealand by getting yourself a year-long working Visa.
That way you can see how you like it.
This weeks podcast episode features Adam, a twenty-something chappy from the UK is doing just that.
After being persuaded by his mate to leave Thailand and come to New Zealand to work on a fairground, he got himself a year-long working visa and headed down under.
In the ten years that we have spent living in New Zealand, my family and I have never been glamping.
Not once.
Let’s face it. It’s not the sort of thing you want to do with two kids, is it?
But.
With the kids now old enough to make their own beans on toast, Brian and I decided that it was time to check out what this New Zealand glamping craze was all about.
Get us a little bit of hippy outdoorsy fun.
And while we were there – glamping in New Zealand – we made a podcast episode for you. And wrote a post.
After all; what else would a husband and wife do when they find themselves alone without their kids for the first time in nineteen years??
Come on. You know you wanna…
