My plastic free life: busy single mummy & business owner — plastic free baby

We've got some beautiful traditions and celebrations to look forward to over the coming days, and I thought I'd take the opportunity to explore ways to celebrate these festive occasions with your families... plastic-free of course! Here's a little run down of some of the special days and upcoming celebrations over the coming days (not an exhaustive list, by any means... there's also the beginning of the LGBT+ History Month and Vasant Panchami, and more, but I just wanted to focus on a few, before I have to head off and collect my son from nursery, ha ha!):   31st...

This half term holiday my...

It's Organic September!  #chooseorganic   Going organic is growing in importance for so many families these days... but... - Why buy organic for your baby? - Why go organic AND plastic-free for your baby and family? - And what are the best organic products for babies?   Here's my plastic-free organic baby guide, which I hope helps you to navigate the world of raising an organic baby ;-).  I am a massive advocate of, whenever possible within your family budget, buying organic alternatives to baby products. There are benefits to the health of our families and the environment by choosing organic. Searching for...
