Random #Adulting tip: If something glass broke and has strewn a bunch of little hard-to-find shards all over your floor, use a flashlight. Hold it low and as parallel to the ground as possible. Move between lighting straight forward and 90° to your sightline. Glass shards are reflective little buggers that sparkle like hell under moving light and the stark shadows at 90° make them easier to find.

Lincolnshire, Family, Lifestyle Blogger on Instagram: "The real adulting challenge isn’t just figuring out if cereal technically counts as dinner (because let’s be honest, sometimes it does) - it’s actually cooking a meal that can survive the brutal, unsolicited judgment of your tiny food critics. You spend hours whipping up something nutritious, tasty and borderline gourmet, only to be met with the timeless classics of " don’t like that," "I’m not hungry," or the all time favourite silent treatment while they sneak off to raid the snack cupboard like secret agents on a covert mission. Dinner quickly turns into a strategic game of "How many snacks can I bribe them with before they’ll eat the dinner I made?" and you secretly fantasize about a magic button that summons pizza or magically turns leftovers into a tasty dish. Spoiler alert: snacks for the win and you’re left wondering if you should just open a pastry cafe instead."

I'm turning 60 this week. The good news is that, as an adult of this age, you can eat cake for breakfast if you want. The bad news is, that you shouldn’t. #adulting101
