We became parents to a beautiful little girl on December 2nd 2010.
Yesterday we were finally allowed home from the hospital to start our new lives. We have no idea what we are doing or where to start, so I am sure that the following months are going to be a learning curve for us both.
Our first night home was a little bit of a shock to the system, my quiet baby that had barely made a peep whilst in hospital discovered her lungs. Nothing could have prepared us for the sleepless night and the many that we have to come.
![[AD] This year has been full of changes, we’ve homeschooled, we’ve worked from home (and still do) and as a result, we have spent more time in the house than we have out. It’s been no surprise that our monthly utility bills have increased over that period.
With our rising bills we wanted to see how easy it would be to reduce our bills and be more in control of our energy usage by switching to a smart home with one of the UKs leading smart home providers @HiveHomeUK. Combined with our Amazon Echo devices we have fully automated the lights in our home with Hive Dimmable Lights. They can be dimmed, set on timer, switched on/off via the app and respond to voice commands through Alexa.
You can find out more ways a smart home with Hive can benefit you in my blog post (link in bio)
