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.

Versatility is something that all parents learn very quickly. We have to.

But it's also a trait I've learned to appreciate in others and even beyond - take my Indesit cooker for example. Our new home 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.
