Living Arrows 2020 Week 32/52

Welcome to Living Arrows 2020! This is the third year I have taken part in this linky and I love taking part each week! If you haven't heard of the linky before, This was set up by Donna at What the Redhead Said and the name comes from the poem by Kahlil Gibran "You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth" 

 Each week I share one photograph of James and one of Freddie and share what they have been up to during the previous week.

This week we spent at home. We watched lots of classic movies on Disney + and mummy even introduced James to Ducktails! 

On Saturday mummy got James out of the house and into tesco for the first time since start of March! He needed to choose a lunch box for school and we went with minions!

The boys were still at nana and gaga's and I rejoined them on Wednesday night. We had some really lovely weather so many trips to the beach. On Saturday James and mummy went to a socially distanced bbq that our group scout leader hosted. James loved meeting his two dogs!

This week the boys have been staying with Nana and Gaga! It had been the first time we had been to their house since February half term!

Mummy and Nana took the boys to The Little Shore beach in Amble where mummy used to go when she was a little girl. We had a really good time even if Freddie did manage to fall in the North Sea!

We also went to Alnwick Garden, which both boys loved! James was thrilled to finally get to go into the Poison Garden!

University Prep Work all Parents Need to Sort for Their Kids

Seeing your child go to university and enter into higher education is really a proud moment for a lot of parents, and this is something that it’s definitely best to prepare for moving forward. Try to make sure you do as much as possible to make the most of this right now, and you need to get the best possible outcome for your child. 

Taking the plunge into university life can be a daunting prospect for a lot of people, and the more you can do to help your child have a better time at university, the better. There are loads of great things that will help you to play a part in this, and trying to get things right is so important. There are a lot of factors that you need to think about when trying to get things sorted for their kids. 

Save Money

It is important to remember that university is an expensive endeavour for a lot of people, and, while there is typically government support available, this is also means-tested. You need to make sure you try to save up and put aside money as much as possible, and it is a great way of being able to ensure that the process is less expensive. In fact, you might even be in a position to help pay for your child to go to university without having to rely on a student loan, and this is important to think about..

Visit Different Institutions

You also need to think about the different ideas you can keep in mind when it comes to choosing the right university. Now, you need to remember that this is not your decision to make, it’s your childs. There are a lot of things that play a part in helping you with this, and you are going to need to work on the best ways of being able to take things to the next level with this. Try to do what you can to factor this in, and try to give them a diverse range of universities to visit and check out, as this is going to make it far easier for them to make a decision, and will allow you to get a feel for a place before actually committing to it. 

Find the Right Accommodation

The right accommodation choices can also be a big part of this and it is important to make the right kind of decision here as well. There are a lot of things that play a role in helping with your making these choices, and you need to speak with your child about whether they would prefer to be housed in halls of residence, or if student studio apartments would be the kind of thing that interests them a little more.

There are a lot of things that you need to think about when it comes to improving your kid’s

university experience. And this is why it is so important to make sure you take the time to

improve things for the future, and spend time coming up with some of the best ideas you can

that will help to improve your child’s experience of going to uni.

This week was the last week at nursery for Freddie. It feels so strange that he's already done with nursery class ready to start Reception in September.

James also had a day in school this week to say goodbye to Year Three and his teachers. Feel pretty gutted that both boys have been robbed of their school year and time with fantastic teachers.

We finished the week by taking part in The Great Indoors Weekender ran by the Scout Association. Both boys had a great time!
