It’s not always straightforward as we found out. This is how and why we switched our dog over to insect-based dog food.

Soppycid Reusable Water Balloons Review

*PR Product & Affiliate Links

As an eco-conscious parent, I constantly feel that pull between doing what is right for the environment and what my kids want. It’s really tough at times, you don’t want to end up being a “no” parent but you also don’t want to be creating unnecessary waste. One area I felt this was a number of years ago when I stopped buying disposable water balloons. After seeing the mess, needless plastic waste, how fast it was all over, not to mention the money I had wasted, I decided that these were not something we would be using ever again. I only had one child at the time and after a good discussion, he was mature enough to understand and agree. Fast forward a few years and I came across crocheted reusable water balloons which looked like a fantastic alternative to the disposable ones. We purchased a set and were over the moon with the results. Being an eco blogger I of course shared these with my audience and wrote about our experience of these reusable water balloons here on my blog. Now, even though we loved them, I could see that they weren’t quite for everybody and I get that. They are what I would call a very eco product. They are very different to disposable water balloons and I know that sometimes it’s harder to make a swap when it doesn’t feel like what you are used to (mindset is really key when it comes to making sustainable changes) but at the time I couldn’t provide anyone with another option… Until now!

How and Why You Can Offset Your Flights

We are living in a far more eco-conscious world with many of us wanting to do the best we can for the future of our planet and all those that live on it. There are a wide range of steps we can take to make positive changes each day but when it comes to travel this is far more tricky and most will significantly increase your carbon footprint. You’ll probably be pleased to hear that car, coach and train travel are all much better for the environment so you do have those options to weigh up when it comes to making your holiday plans but I am sure you will already be very aware that both cruise liner and plane travel will have a much larger negative impact.

Now, I am not about to ever dictate to anybody how they should be travelling, it isn’t my place (or anybody’s for that matter) but what I can do is share some knowledge and my experience of offsetting our flight this year.

Here’s How to Promote a Diverse Diet in Your Kids

*Collaborative Post

Having a diverse diet with different fruits, vegetables, grains, and proteins helps you stay healthy and have the energy to get through the day. Now that you have kids, you may have seen the types of foods you have on hand slowly diminish.

Kids’ taste buds are more sensitive than adults, so getting them interested in new foods can be harder, especially if they aren’t sweet foods. Scientists believe this is evolutionary to attract babies to their mother’s milk and stop young kids from eating bitter foods that could be poisonous.

Thankfully, some tips and tricks can help you vary your kids’ diet to set them up for healthy eating throughout their life.

Here’s how to promote a diverse diet in your kids.
