In my ongoing quest to use less plastic (and subconsciously drive the boys mad) I re-directed my attention to shampoos. Always in unavoidable plastic bottles (… I get it, glass in the shower could be hazardous… eye roll) and always needed. I understand there are people out there that advocated never to wash their hair… …
Let’s talk about something frivolous. I’ve done a lot of reading lately for College. Heavy stuff… actually ‘heavy’ is the wrong word… it was more like eye opening reading and what I saw wasn’t pretty… and I’ll have to think about it a little more before starting a conversation on this platform. In the meantime, …
In my quest for ‘less waste’ I made myself try another everyday product in a different format, conscious that sometimes we get stuck in our ways and assume – (makes an ‘ass’ of ‘u’ and ‘me’… they boys love it when I say that… not) – that how it should be, full stop. It’s so …
Blogging is about sharing, right? At times it does feel a little like I’m talking to myself, but generally speaking I think blogging is about talking to people and exchanging ideas and so today I’d like to mention a product that I discovered a few months ago and I’ve been using for just as long …

Sunday morning Husband asleep. Dog asleep. Two teenagers asleep. One teenager currently getting ready to go to London with friends to watch a game of American Football: for some reason that I have yet to understand the Philadelphia Eagles are playing the Jacksonville Jaguars… in London. Slightly baffling… or maybe it’s just me. I’m loving …
Just quick one today… crazy week, don’t make me go there, we would all be sorry… I’ve been meaning to mention these things for ages because I think they’re really good. Let’s start from the beginning: First, I have a tumble dryer. I love it. My tumble dryer is on a lot (less so in …
… you know when a bored friend sends you a random email suggesting a random activity and you’re bored too so you accept and the main reason is that because you’re both probably having a middle age existential crisis? Yes, that. First of all let me tell you something. I don’t like guns. If it …
I had never heard of sticky toffee pudding before coming to England and because I’ve always been a chocolate girl it took me years to try it; that was a gross error of judgment. It makes me sad to think of all the delicious puddings I’ve missed out on through the years. There are thousands …
