This delicate plant has several medicinal properties. It has its origin in South and Central America. Nowadays, Mimosa Pudica seeds are also cultivated in a big way…

Eco Cleaning Hacks to Try*
In recent years cleaning hacks have become and more and more popular with the rise of social media, and my own personal favourite hack website, Pinterest (I mainly use it to plan my holidays rather than find out the best way to clean a block plug, but each to their own).

I remember when LM first started school back in 2016, my biggest fear was her navigating friendship groups. In a way, it still is, but at least now I know LM is capable of making friends with pretty much anyone.
