Today, my family were featured in The Sun for using cloth toilet paper. A brave move. But that’s not the only cloth we use in our house. We also use cloth nappies, cloth baby wipes, cloth make-up remover wipes and even cloth sanitary protection (CSP). I’ve been using CSP for around 3 years now, and …
No child likes being told it’s bedtime- in fact, these are the words that most kids absolutely dread! When you’re young, all you want is the freedom to stay up and have fun. But as parents, we of course know that this isn’t what’s best and that sleep absolutely has to be a priority for …
Dementia; It can be a really tough subject to talk about whatever your age and even more so when talking to small children about the subject. I used to work as a HCA in a residential care home where most of its residents suffered from Dementia or Alzheimer’s. Everyday we saw our residents becoming lost and …
We are due our 4th baby in just 20 weeks time, and we’ve heard the same piece of advice, time and time again- sleep as much as you can before the baby arrives because once the little bundle of joy is born, you will not be getting any sleep for a few years. This is, of course, …
The modern age has its benefits. Never before has connectivity been so easy. Not to mention that we have access to a wealth of information. Used right, technology can be a real help.

I know what you’re thinking. “No deodorant… gross. Smelly hippy.” Well, think what you like but I can guarantee that I am not a smelly hippy. A hippy maybe, but not smelly. I honestly cannot remember when I stopped using deodorant, but its certainly around 10 years now. And even before then, I never really bothered that …
You may have seen my post last week about our new Vegas Smart Advance mattress. It was time for us to get a good nights sleep, and our new mattress certainly hit the spot. We have been enjoying our new mattress for over a week now and we love it. In my previous post I …
We all love getting into bed after a long day. A nice hot bath, fresh linen, cosy PJ’s and a hot water bottle makes this time of year perfect for making up excuses to settle down for an early night. It’s cold outside, and you want comfort. Did you know that you will spend 20,000 hours …

Every kid should experience playing outside making mud pies, pulling worms from the earth and climbing trees. And on a rainy day when the outside may not be quite as appealing, kids should be role playing, building cardboard box castles and stripping the sofa apart to create the ultimate fort. So why do we now …
It’s the time of the year when we start getting itchy eyes and runny noses. That horrible feeling of hay fever starting to set in fills me with absolute dread. 1 in 5 of us know the feeling all too well, and dread this time of the year when our symptoms start to flare. We all …
Coconut oil is BIG at the moment. It seems to be the answer to every one of life’s problems. Bad skin? Use coconut oil. Bad hair? Use coconut oil. Bad boyfriend? Use coconut oil. Coconut oil is simply pressed from the meat of a coconut (AKA The Plant Of Life) and jarred for us all …
