Some random facts about me - I love my life! As well as being a wife to my best friend and a mummy to my fabulous children, I am a Counsellor. I am lucky enough to have a gorgeous little room in my home to work from which makes things easy for me. In a previous life (before Miss Noodle came along) I was a teacher of counselling and psychotherapy, I think that this blog is my somewhere to say what I need or want to say which was previously fulfilled by teaching.
Apart from Sofas and one TV (which incidentally doesn't really interest me very much), nothing much in our house was new when we got it, I would far rather re-purpose something or get second hand than new. It is often superior in quality and I find that I really never want to pay full price for anything.
We have a new allotment where we are going to grow veggies as previously we have done this in the garden, and we plan to get chickens and bees as soon as finances allow. We try to eat organic and live as green as possible, I make washing liquid and use vinegar and bicarb to clean with for example. I am also trying to remove plastic from our lives, this is hard though, but I'm starting with our daughters toys, ensuring that what she has is either made from wood or second hand. I would rather she had as less comercial childhood as possible, she watches minimal TV doesn't have any toys with characters on them! We co sleep and I am still feeding her, which I realise is strange to most people, however, these are the right choices for us, and I am sure I will be writing about these at some point.
