Earthing – do you? Should you?
Whether you call it earthing or grounding, what is it and should you be doing it? The other day I did a post about electroculture which is supposed to help your plants be more healthy but what would you say if I told you there was a way for you to do the same sort…

Do You Have a Favourite Day of The Week?
Here is why I don’t always jump to Friday. I was thinking about this earlier today when I worked out which day of the week it actually was. Have you ever spent a whole day thinking it was one thing then finding out it was something completely different and Bingo – you’ve gained a day?…

Electroculture Gardening – what is it and can it boost your harvest?
Have you heard of electroculture gardening yet? It’s thought to date back to around the 1700s and seems to be yet another one of those things we discarded into the pit of knowledge – but it’s resurfacing big time. It is claimed it can boost your harvest by 100- 300% without needing to add extra…

Would you have done this – would you trust your gut instinct?
I mentioned in a previous post about some car trouble we were having and I needed to find a mobile mechanic as I couldn’t move the car to get it to the garage, but it turned out to be a situation which required a lot of trust on both sides. I found a website for…

Dealing with the overwhelm – Top 10 Tips
Do you have periods in your life when you definitely feel the overwhelm more than others? I know I do and I think I might be in one just now! Between the usual home-school work, caring role, keeping the house going, the garden work, the allotment (not to mention blogging about it all or keeping…

I don’t think I’m cut out for this
I think I’m designed for the country but I’m stuck in a town and some days it suffocates me. All I want is to hear natural sounds, smell the air around me as it should be. I love nothing more than being in the garden listening – it’s a whole different world and I yearn…

I can’t believe what they’ve done!
I’ve got a quick story to end the week with and it blows my mind. I won’t go into details of exactly who or exactly where – it will soon become obvious why. There was a young man who had a house (big enough for a family to live in) and it was a very…

This really hit home for me
I was sitting scrolling through the YouTube shorts instead of actually doing what I was meant to be doing, and I came across one which really hit home. I think this short video is so well done and carries such a strong, powerful message. Hope you like it (let me know in the comments what…

How do you measure success?
As we go about our daily lives we will encounter obstacles, achieve goals and frustratingly make little progress in other areas. Some days it seems like we’ve been going round in circles getting nowhere and other days there is nothing we can’t accomplish. But how do you measure success? As a home-schooling mum, some days…

Why gardeners need to be resilient
Not that long ago, I did a post about the indoor propagation I had done with some house plants and a lovely little rosemary plant which had shown good spring growth. The good news is that the house plants and the rosemary plant are doing well. Now for the bad news: I had put the…

I think we can learn lessons from this
This can’t be an easy thing to do but this little guy never gives up – a valuable lesson we could all do with learning. Just because something isn’t easy or presents more obstacles than we would like, we should still try, try and try again.

Keeping life in balance
The saying goes “things happen in 3s”, but I disagree – I think life has more balance to it than that but not everybody will see it if they keep looking in the wrong place. If you believe the rule of 3, when one bad thing happens, you go through each day looking for the…
