Beware of Wallapop!

Zoob-ibilities

For Christmas 2018, my son got the box of Too Many Robots! (Boys Stuff), which is a build your own robot cardboard collection, supposedly allowing a child to make a combination of fifty different robots. What a terrible product, of very bad quality and the pieces never stayed together properly. It caused my son a...

Sitting Easy with Cam Il Mundo

When we moved to Northern Spain from South Africa in 2018, our little boy was 12 months old and we did not have a high chair for him to use when eating at the table. This was a huge problem as meal times were becoming a massive messy crazy time! So we decided to get...

1. Introduction to our Big Plan:

In May 2018, we found out that my husband, Clive, was being retrenched from his job. To cut a very long story short, we had known for about a year that this was going to happen one day in the near future and so we had been looking around for work for my husband but...

Help for Fatigue and Muscles

We are a family of six on a worldschooling travel journey or 'playventure', as we like to call it. In the beginning of any journey or change in your life, that does not follow the regular route that your life had been taking, and puts your mind and body totally out of its comfort zone......

Miraculous Maca

We moved to Spain from South Africa in June 2018, and found that the changes, challenges, working hours and life-schooling our four small kids was draining us! So we looked into what we could include in our diet to help us with building up our immune system and the extra energy that we so desperately...

Literally Mix & Go!

We moved to Spain a few months ago (July 2018), and my husband has been teaching English at an English Academy. He works crazy hours from the afternoon into the late evening, with very short breaks of between ten and twenty minutes! He therefore needs to take food with him that is healthy, easy and quick...

Sprouting Tips

I published a post in April 2017 about the Elzed Seed Sprouter that I bought (you can read it here Elzed Seed Sprouter) and that it works well for a fairly cheap product. I have since learnt a few things about sprouting, which I thought I would share with you: Always use clean water, preferably filtered....

Earthsap

I believe in keeping our bodies away from harmful chemicals and additives, as much as possible, to prevent damage to our bodies' natural systems. I was so happy therefore when I found a shampoo and conditioner in South Africa that is based on pure simple natural ingredients. The shampoo literally makes my hair feel squeaky clean...

Why Hard Toothbrushes?

A fantastic dentist once told me that one should never use a toothbrush with hard or medium bristles, as it erodes the enamel on one's teeth and can also lead to sensitive teeth (not a nice problem to end up with!). I did some research and found out that this is actually very true. Here...

Teljoy: Rent to Own

When I got married in 2007, my husband and I had no appliances and furniture to use for our new life together. We were weary of getting into debt by buying on accounts because we did not have sufficient money to buy the items we needed with cash. Then we found out about Teljoy (https://www.teljoy.co.za/)...
