Preparing my small human for the apocalypse one reusable nappy at a time.
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
One of my favourite hobbies is buying tired looking dolls from charity shops and giving them a makeover. I prefer not to buy new toys for Tiny as she has so much already and I hate the waste. I have a couple of rules - I never spend more than £2 and I avoid the … Continue reading Upcycling Preloved Dolls.
Tiny has always been a fan of doll's houses.

We're the last of our friends and family … Continue reading Wardrobe Dividers: A useful creative task to do with your toddler.

Here's a few tips to reduce your small human's carbon footprint. 1. Cloth nappies. I recommend Tots Bots. According to The Centre for Sustainable Energy newborn babies … Continue reading How to be more eco friendly with a baby.
It's October! Yay. For me that means spending the whole month preparing for some Halloween fun! I want to host a toddler party for my baby group friends on 31st, and we're having a Halloween house warming for our family on 4th November. Now that I have more time on my hands I've decided to … Continue reading How to make an easy Halloween wreath.
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
