Welcome!

Welcome to my blog!

Why homemade?  For lots of reasons:

  • To save money;
  • To lessen our impact on the environment;
  • To set a good example and teach important lessons to our children.
What kinds of things do I make myself?

  • food (instead of using pre-made convenience items);
  • textiles;
  • cleaning products;
  • children's toys.
Our current aims include:

  • slowly but steadily morphing our home into a Montessori inspired work and play-haven for our son now that he is mobile and beginning to show greater understanding and desire for independence;
  • weaning ourselves off convenience items to save money as hubby is weighing up moving to a part time job or making a career move that starts with a low-paying apprenticeship.

I hope you'll enjoy reading about the our progress towards these goals, our homemade triumphs and a few of our less successful stories.  I also hope to include weekly book reviews of books on home made topics, Montessori child raising, money saving and the odd kids book.

Cheers!
