Last Tuesday, I stumbled across 30 Days Wild in a Facebook group I’m in. It’s a fun challenge set by The Wildlife Trusts to take part in ‘one random act of wildness’ each day. I immediately set about planning some activities for us for the month ahead! When I told Autumn about it, she seemed excited too. I’m hoping that this will help her to learn about and appreciate the natural world more and for us both to feel more connected to nature. Too often we’re rushing around busily and just don’t notice things. Here’s how our first week went.

Pura: Wipes good for babies and better for the world
Plastic has been in the media a lot over the last few years. The sheer amount that we use and its devastating effects on the planet have constantly been highlighted.

5 reasons you should take out a funeral plan
Collaborative Post¦ It’s a sombre thought, but unfortunately death is part of life. In fact, it’s the only guaranteed thing in life. As such, it is important that we do briefly ponder it from time to time. This allows us to make sure that things are put into place for when that time comes. Of course, it is important to make a will and ensure that you keep what you want to leave to who up to date. Life insurance is another thing to consider.
