Preparing my small human for the apocalypse one reusable nappy at a time.
Since Christmas I've made a few simple swaps to reduce the amount of plastic and single use waste in our house. Milk Deliveries! We now get milk delivered 3 times a week from Milk and More. We also get bread, eggs and a yummy organic squash in glass bottles from Rocks. There is something special … Continue reading Simple Eco Swaps
One of my favourite eco swaps has been unpaper towels. And they didn't cost a penny. I still use paper towels to clean up cat sick and for wax making related spills but otherwise I use old cheeky Wipes, and muslins. I keep a box by the backdoor ready to take out to the washing … Continue reading Unpaper Towels
The tagline on my blog (Preparing my small human for the apocalypse one reusable nappy at a time) was a joke...until it wasn't. Of course, when I started my blog I was thinking of the zombie apocalypse, not a man made climate change driven mass extinction event. Like many people I really wanted to believe … Continue reading It’s the End of the World as we know it…and I don’t feel fine.
Okay... more accurately I don't flush my loo very much any more. If it's yellow let it mellow and all that. It turns out that water is expensive on a meter and so we've been trying to save money (and water) by flushing our toilet much less frequently. And honestly I hate it. We may … Continue reading I don’t flush my loo any more.
Yes, I'm a big weirdo. I love cleaning. And tidying. And obsessively organising things into boxes. And also drawstring bags because that's the first thing I learnt how to do on my sewing machine. After watching Obsessive Compulsive Cleaners I was really into the virtues of bleach but recently I've been trying to only buy … Continue reading Review: Eco Friendly and Cruelty Free Cleaning Products.
As you know I love crafts and trying to get outdoors more with Tiny especially as we live somewhere so beautiful. I also love getting things in the post so I was delighted to be gifted the new Mud and Bloom subscription box. The Mud and Bloom Box is a monthly nature and gardening activity box aimed … Continue reading Review: Mud and Bloom Box.
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?
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? They are … Continue reading Cloth Sanitary Pads: A Monthly Game Changer
If I had to pick only one product to recommend to prospective parents (or current parents) it would be Cheeky Wipes. We stumbled across these at a baby show at Kensington Olympia and were immediately sold on the idea because disposable wipes are horrible for the environment and we wanted to try to limit our … Continue reading Review: Cheeky Wipes
We decided to go cloth quite early on in my pregnancy as we wanted to do a little bit towards saving the environment. Cloth nappies can be up to 40% better for the environment than disposable nappies depending on how you use them. The reason we went with Tots Bots was because we happened upon their stall … Continue reading Review: Tots Bots Cloth Nappies
