DomesticallyBlissed: I'm not buying it ...
http://domesticallyblissed.blogspot.com/2010/05/im-not-buying-it.html
Friday, May 14, 2010. I'm not buying it . So since February I have been on a mission to not buy anything new. Kind of like 'the compact' well probably exactly like the compact in fact! Some of you who have been reading my blog for a while might remember the 'Buy Nothing Challenge' of April 2008, which for me became mostly about not buying things made in China. Generally I have stuck to that, although during my horrid pregnancy I didn't. What it means is:. 3 1/2 months into it and its been going really we...

Friday, October 30, 2009. Lush love . and how to clean the loo. I am still here . I deserve some kind of award for this on again off again blogging! When life gets busy my computer time is the first thing that goes … but I’ll report more on that in my monthly wrap-up! More interesting posts are planned … but while I work on those I thought I would share an excerpt from the wonderful Shannon Lush. Whose books 'Speed Cleaning' and ' Spotless'. Are my new favourites.

http://domesticallyblissed.blogspot.com/2010/02/whats-cooking.html
Sunday, February 21, 2010. Is my new blog. I have had to admit to myself that I don't have the time to blog with the level of research and thought that I like to put into my posts at domestically blissed. One day I will again . and I look forward to that. But for now, I have been putting up my recipes as part of my vegetarian journey over at Gypsy's Kitchen. Come and say hi!

DomesticallyBlissed: Simplify, Simplify, Simplify
http://domesticallyblissed.blogspot.com/2009/11/simplify-simplify-simplify.html
Tuesday, November 10, 2009. Simplify, Simplify, Simplify. I remember when I was at university I saw the book ‘Simplify your Life'. By Elaine St James on the counter at the university bookshop. Despite my rather meagre student finances I bought it immediately and read the whole thing on the bus ride home. I was hooked. The notion of deliberately choosing a life that is ‘outwardly simple, inwardly rich’ resonated deeply. Since then, voluntary simplicity. Now there is (of course! A stay at home mum. My life...

DomesticallyBlissed: February 2010
http://domesticallyblissed.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Sunday, February 28, 2010. My grandparent's have a wonderful 'toy bag' that they have kept for visiting children. It has entertained many many children of all ages . and yet it is filled with things you might not recognise as toys. An old set of keys. A wallet filled with out dated money and cards. An old cell phone. Old ties. Old scarves. Some shells. A pair of goggles. Some ends of wool. And live in a bus! When it comes to toys, I think for my children the list would be:. Some plain wooden blocks.

http://domesticallyblissed.blogspot.com/2009/12/where-ive-been.html
Friday, December 11, 2009. Where I've been . Sorry I have been so disturbingly quiet the last month or so! Thank you for your messages of concern and encouragement. Things have been busy here, our darling Little Guy is now 9 months old but has been back to sleeping like a newborn . in fact far worse than as a newborn. Teething and a cold seem to have completely taken him out of what little routine he had! In the meantime wishing you all a wonderful Christmas. Thanks for the heads up Gypsy! Then she did g...

DomesticallyBlissed: November 2009
http://domesticallyblissed.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Thursday, November 12, 2009. Take my advice - I'm clearly not using it. Why do I do this to myself? Even with the best of intentions to simplify my schedule I keep saying 'yes' and finding myself in a flurry of playdates. I could . should . have postponed the back to back playdates today given the complete lack of sleep. My friends wouldn't have minded. I could have walked up the road, got a really strong takeaway coffee and headed to the library. The day could have been peaceful. Now there is (of course!

DomesticallyBlissed: Minimalist Cleaning
http://domesticallyblissed.blogspot.com/2010/03/minimalist-cleaning.html
Sunday, March 7, 2010. I'm feeling very minimalist lately as you might have noticed . I always thought I was but recently I have realised there is a whole new level of anti-consumerism I can aspire too (eye-rolls from the mother in law no doubt). If think we could even live in an RV I should at least be able to seriously declutter our wee house (its about 1200 square feet so perfectly sized for 4 of us). What would I take into the RV? Baking soda and vinegar. Ecostore washing machine powder. If you dont ...

DomesticallyBlissed: Our Simple Bathroom
http://domesticallyblissed.blogspot.com/2010/03/our-simple-bathroom.html
Monday, March 1, 2010. Is it just me or do others find that bathroom 'stuff' seems to breed and multiply? I have been decluttering the bathroom for what seems like years, but I blink and it clutters up again! We are now blessed in our small-ish (1200 sq ft) home to have 2 bathrooms . both very small but a luxury nonetheless. And yet, without constant vililance they both end up cluttered. So constant vigilance is the only answer, and a tight rein on my credit card! I've been applying my 'if I lived in an ...
