Traveling with kids? It’s all about packing intentionally! ✨ We love bringing along a few simple essentials—like reusable containers for snacks, cozy layers, and creative activities like colored pencils and travel-friendly games. It helps keep things low-stress, low-waste, and (mostly) screen-free 🎒🌍✏️

Spent the day soaking up a perfect Swedish summer — swimming, garden games, and lunch with the kids overlooking the water. Couldn’t have asked for more.
Last year brought its challenges, but today I’m stepping into a new year with hope, love, and a full heart 🩷 #BirthdayVibes #SwedishSummer #Grateful

Homemade Fruit Leather Day! 🍓✨
Today’s batch: Rhubarb & Wild Strawberry — foraged, garden-grown, cooked down gently with a touch of coconut sugar. Sweet, tart, and totally addictive.
Later today: Red Currant & Gooseberry leathers are on deck — bright, tangy, and so full of summer.
We love turning seasonal fruit into these chewy, healthy snacks. Straight from the garden and forest to the dehydrator. 💚
Have you made fruit leather before? What’s your favorite combo? 👇

🌿 Plastic Free July Tip 🌿
Did you know your clothes might be shedding plastic? 🧵 Avoid synthetic fabrics like polyester, nylon & acrylic — they release microplastics into our waterways every time you wash them! 💧
Choose natural fibers like organic cotton, linen, or hemp instead. It’s better for your skin and the planet 🌎✨

🌍💪 Plastic Free July is HERE! 💪🌍
Let’s turn this into a fun challenge with BIG impact 🙌
Because the truth is: plastic pollution is a problem — from the moment it’s extracted, produced, used (often just once!), and then tossed into landfills or oceans 😣
But here’s the good news 👉 WE have the power to change that.
💡 This July, let’s challenge ourselves to reduce our plastic use — one bottle, one bag, one swap at a time. Whether you’re a seasoned zero-waster or just starting out, every small step matters. And doing it together makes it WAY more fun 🎉it’s to #breakupwithplastic
🛒 Reusable bags
☕ BYO coffee cup
🍽️ Say no to single-use cutlery
💧 Ditch bottled water
♻️ Share your swaps & tag us!
Let’s prove that small changes really do lead to massive impact 🌱

🌍 8 Lazy Climate Actions That Actually Make a Difference 💚
Think fighting climate change takes too much effort? Think again. These low-effort, high-impact habits help the planet—no stress required:
1. 💤 Unplug devices when not in use (your charger too!).
2. 🚿 Shorten your shower by just 2 minutes.
3. ❌ Say no to fast fashion—re-wear, swap, or thrift instead.
4. 🍽️ Eat one plant-based meal a day.
5. 🛒 Buy in bulk to reduce packaging waste.
6. 📬 Opt out of junk mail (save trees and time).
7. 🔁 Use a reusable water bottle (bonus: saves $$).
8. 📱 Use your voice—share, post, vote, and support climate causes from your couch.
It doesn’t have to be all or nothing. A little lazy can still be legendary. The bonus is that even lazy efforts can save you money.
