We believe that information IS freedom; that the more you know about life, love and (almost!) everything else, the better equipped you are to navigate your way through this sometimes crazy journey through life, and create a life you love!
So our mission is to explore the internet, seeking out information on multiple topics, then curate, design and create products, courses, tools and resources to make that information ALL available to you in a single place, saving you time, energy and money!

Mrs Miggins: An Obituary
My little Josie crossed over today, after blessing me with her unconditional love for 17 1/2 years. I've been through a lot of life changes in that time;Â we got her 3 weeks after we bought Chateau Wood, when she was about 8 weeks old. She was one of the few souls who...

Listen to the SOS….
I’ve just been reading an ebook by Dr Robert Anthony, and in it was a lesson about the Titanic, which I’m going to paraphrase as I think it holds an important message. As you probably know, the Titanic was the largest ship of her time and sank in the Atlantic whilst...
Why ‘Naughty’ Behaviour Shouldn’t Be Labelled as Such
This morning, I took Dom to his classroom and his French teacher was there preparing for the lesson she was going to be doing with them later, with a poster of the words to the famous Alouette song on the board. He suddenly went all quiet and flatly refused to do his...
DIY Disasters: Flooding the Bathroom
Just found out I could have been at my graduation ceremony today for my DipHE, if the Uni had actually told me about it! Oh well, I had better things to do anyway, like flooding my bathroom...;o) I managed to flood the bathroom by taking apart the leaking waste pipe...
What I’ve Learned During the First 40 Years of My Life…
I felt my last status update of my 30s should be something incredibly profound, so here goes!! I'm the happiest I've EVER been, even though my life is vastly different (and on the face of it, a lot worse) to what I thought it would be by the time I hit 40! I've been...
