    Why I strive to be Good and not Perfect

    19 July, 201629 March, 2018

    I have a confession to make which may interest those of you who are mums too (and probably won’t interest anyone else!).  I use disposable nappies on Daniel, and I think he’s only worn about 3 cloth nappies in his 16-month-long life.  This is in spite of the fact that I know how bad they are

    Grandparents and sweets

    15 June, 20163 April, 2018

    The other night at dinner, Stella snitched on her Poppy (my father-in-law).  My husband laughed and explained that his father had snuck her a licorice lolly, whispering “Don’t tell Daddy!” with a wink.  I rolled my eyes at my husband and said to Stella, “Well, aren’t you lucky! What a treat!” and let it go.

    Happy, healthy, and free!

    1 March, 201629 March, 2018

    Last week I resigned from my job as a secondary school teacher of design. Three weeks into my return from a year of maternity leave, I really wasn’t expecting to be in this situation! It was a tough decision to make, but we decided to prioritise our family’s wellbeing over our mortgage. It’s all too

  • This is a long-time favourite quote of mine. Some people focus all their energies on what is happening to them. Others on who/what they are. The latter is the only thing we really have control of, I think. . . #inspirationquote #motivationalquote #itswhatyouremadeof #itsallaboutattitude
  • Wow, are radishes the easiest veg to grow from seed? 😮😆 Stella and I harvested the radishes we sowed from seed it feels like just a few weeks ago! They're already on my shelf in the earliest stages of fermenting. My kids find radishes too spicy to eat fresh but fermented they pop them like lollies! Instead of spicy they end up crunchy sour. Radishes are a quick ferment - I usually leave them for just 4 - 5 days. . . #radishes #fermentedradish #fermentingkit #homegrownveggies #homegrownfood #summerharvest #sownfromseed #realfood #goodfood #fermentedfood #homemadeferments
  • I've started taking red maca powder daily, to support my hormones in a natural, no-risk sort of way. I think it's actually doing some good! I think I feel calmer, less moody... Could it be the placebo effect? - Yes. Do I care? - No. An effect is an effect as far as I'm concerned, placebo or not! 😜 Maca is an adaptogen, which means it supposedly supports your own body to balance its hormones. It's also a cruciferous vegetable grown in Peru, so if nothing else I'm just adding a bit of ground-up broccoli-like vegetable into my (decaf) coffees, haha! Just having a nice relaxing cuppa before I head out and pick the kids up from school... 🧘‍♀️ . . #maca #redmaca #macawithmycoffee #balancinghormonesnaturally #naturalmoodsupport #foodsthatheal #placeboeffect
  • I'm excited to share that the Merkur 23C safety razor is now available from the Mrs Goodness shop! 😆 (link in bio) Also, the excellent and very affordable Astra razor blades. I've just written a blog post that's all about my own safety razor experiences. I love my #merkur and I'll never use anything else - #buylesschoosewellmakeitlast 💚 . . #buywellbuyonce #merkurrazor #desafetyrazor #nomoreplastic #plasticfreealternatives #plasticfreebathroom #plasticfreeshaving #ditchdisposables #gooddesign #designedtolast #formfollowsfunction #mrsgoodnessshop #blogpost #mrsgoodness
  • Thank you, little one, for helping out my cucumber plant! My Lebanese cucumber has done so well this summer, I'm so happy! My kids get whole cucumbers in their lunchbox and they love them 😊. My gherkins, on the other hand, have been a bit of a dud - I think I've had 10 gherkins from 2 plants so far! Not so much gherkin pickling going on here... 😒 . . #helpfullittlebee #bees #beefood #veggiegarden #growingfood #homegrownveggies #sprayfreegarden
  • OK, so my mind is officially 🤯, haha! I just strained the apple scraps from my apple scrap vinegar. I've made almost 1.5L of raw fermented apple vinegar for the mere cost of a couple of tablespoons of sugar! 😅 And its soooo easy, I can't quite believe it... Wow. . . #applevinegar #homemadevinegar #madefromscratch #naturallyfermented #applescrapvinegar #lovefoodhatewaste #nofoodwaste #frugallysustainable #frugalkitchen #realfood #goodfood #learningnewthings
