One Small Change – Single Use Plastic

02/07/2016 by Emily 3 Comments

This week's One Small Change is in support of Plastic Free July.  Plastic Free July is an Australian initiative that's been running since 2012 and encourages people to avoid single use plastic for a month. Obviously there's more to plastic than single use items, but you've gotta start somewhere, and this is the best place in my opinion. Single use plastic includes all those layers of packaging that come with consumables, and disposable items that we use briefly then throw away. Except that there Continue Reading

One Small Change – Meal Planning

24/06/2016 by Emily 10 Comments

We're pretty serious about meal planning in our family.  We have some extreme diet restrictions that make it necessary.  My stepson's ketogenic diet for epilepsy limits him to 20g of carbs per day, so he can't eat rice, pasta, bread, potatoes or.. really anything you might whip up for a quick and easy meal.  He's limited to meat and certain low carb vegetables.  His brother on the other hand prefers not to eat meat. He's not vegetarian as such (at least not yet) but he feels squeamish in the Continue Reading

One Small Change – An Intention

13/06/2016 by Emily Leave a Comment

A slower, simpler life is as much an attitude as a lifestyle. Even within the confines of our existing commitments, a subtle shift in attitude can slow the pace of life right down.  Small changes to what we focus on and how we organise our time can make life feel so much simpler and more meaningful.  But what if you're spending a third of your life doing something that's neither slow, simple or meaningful?  If your work is so demanding or stressful that it unravels your best efforts at slowing Continue Reading

One Small Change – Lose a Little Clutter

04/06/2016 by Emily 4 Comments

Any conversation about living more slowly and simply is inevitably going to arrive at the topic of de-cluttering. Although we are bombarded with constant messaging to suggest otherwise, life really is simpler when you have less stuff.  A home that’s overflowing with stuff creates a sense of chaos in your physical space that translates to chaos in your mind.  Getting rid of some of that stuff will lessen the chaos and give you room to breathe.  De-cluttering alone is not going to change your Continue Reading

One Small Change – Find More Time

28/05/2016 by Emily 1 Comment

Behind every intention to live a slower, simpler life is a desperate cry for more time.  It's why we crave that slowness and simplicity in the first place. We somehow manage to use up all the available minutes of every day and never have enough time left for the things we truly value. Our days are filled to the brim with activity, and while we're glad to be busy and productive and engaged, we also feel our lives would be better if we had more time. As a society we have more opportunity than Continue Reading
