Embrace change: be versatile.

We'd like life to be orderly, predictable, simple. But the truth is, all sorts of things happen, and you have to be quick to adapt. Sometimes, it's having to find a new job, or a new home. Others, it's smaller things, like finding a last-minute babysitter, or figuring out how to get to work without the car (does anyone else bust tyres as often as I do?).

Versatiliy is something all mums learn very quickly. We have to.

But it's also a trait I've learned to appreciate in others (thank you, my S.O.).
But it goes beyond people, too--take my Indesit Cooker. Our new place has a small kitchen, and we needed a smart, simple solution to fit both an oven and a hob in our limited available space.

It's great, and amazingly resource-efficient, too. We've saved a lot on the bills, since we purchased it.

Our Indesit cooker is perfect. Actually, it's better than that--it's versatile.
