The clocks have changed and the sun is out which can only mean one thing…we’re all itching for a spring clean?

This time of year many take to the shops filling their baskets with conventional supermarket cleaners. Whether it’s bleach, de-greasers, air fresheners, window-cleaner or floor polish these products, while getting the job done could actually be detrimental to your health… known to be packed full of toxins and chemicals. It doesn't take long to fire up a quick google search or look at the warning signs on the back of the bottles we’re using to ask the question of whether these really are safe for us and our families?

I loved putting together my Christmas gift guides and so thought it might be fun to do a semi-regular sharing of some of my favourite products.

I absolutely love when others share of the products they find or discover that make their life easier. I find this especially so when trying to live more consciously as it’s required a lot more trial and error.

Enjoy!

I thought it was about time to get into one blog, a list of places where we shop the most. I have tried out countless places, looking for what works best for us as a family and these are our most loved. They will most probably change and evolve over time. I am always looking for ways to cut down our spending yet find things that don’t come at a cost to people and the planet.

It can be so overwhelming when you have a baby to not think you need a wipe warmer and every singing and dancing toy going to pacify your baby all hours of the day.

The truth is shops wanna sell, but do you actually need it? I found we didn’t need a lot, I learnt that from doing without but also from having things that went unused or made the house feel cluttered. So, I hope this helps.

I can’t quite believe it, but September is fast approaching which for us means my daughter is starting forest school (ARGH). Alongside me, parents and carers across the country are handed kit lists, school supply lists and are probably googling something along the lines of ‘what do I really need for nursery?’…
