Preparing my small human for the apocalypse one reusable nappy at a time.
It’s time to talk toilet roll. I recently switched to Who Gives a Crap toilet roll. Mostly because I love the irreverent name and they look great. (Yes, I’m very shallow sometimes) Why should you give a crap about what your family wipes their bum with? According to the founders they decided to create Who … Continue reading Review: Who Gives A Crap?
I live in sunny Exmouth so I’ve focused on things to do near this beautiful part of the world. The beach! Everyone is always going on about forests in autumn but let’s not neglect the beach.

Or CSPs, or snuggle lady blankets. I'm obsessed. I became interested in the concept when I was on maternity leave and really loving cloth nappies. Then I made the mistake of typing cloth pads into Etsy. I didn't need all that money anyhow. Why are cloth pads so great I hear you ask?
