I know this sounds like a crazy question, how can it be? It’s such a hot topic with hundreds of articles and videos on the subject; surely it must work. Well here’s a little secret, it didn’t work for me. I started trying to be a minimalist over ten years ago. I wasn’t aware it…
In Autumn I start to turn in on myself. We still go outside a lot, the crisp air and crunchy leaves are as good for my soul as they are for the children’s. But in the evenings and the quiet times throughout the day, I start to slow down and find myself repeating steps I’ve…
Does anyone else love to cosy up with particular books when the evenings start to grow longer and the fire needs to go on? Grab a cuppa and your best blanket and enjoy some of my favourite books with me this season. Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone By J.K. Rowling This may be the…

A few months into lockdown last year we discovered The Bucket List Family on YouTube and started watching their videos from the beginning. Not only did they give us an escape in the evening at a time when we most needed it, but their videos also reminded us about the importance of being together as…
We absolutely love smoothies in this house, we have at least one a day and if BrotherBear had his way we would have at least three a day, every day! I am not a fan of shop-bought smoothies as they tend to be super high in sugars, low in fibre and they also come with…
Disposable nappies overnight We love our reusable nappies for the daytime and have used them ever since our little girl was two weeks old.
