BeesWax Wraps from Nicnak

We are moving away from disposable stuff here and looking at more reusable items. 

When you think of reusable in the kitchen, most people think about lunchboxes or Tupperware and the like. But what about cling wraps? I know that in a family of 6, we would use a LOT of cling wrap and to be honest, I never really gave it much thought - terrible isn't it!

So when a friend started making beeswax cotton wraps to replace her cling wrap, I had to learn more.

She uses her own bees wax from her backyard and washed cotton squares of differing sizes. As beeswax is naturally antibacterial, its a great addition to our kitchen instead of chemical filled plastics.

So I had to try it!

We bought frogs, cupcakes and two different stars and off to school they went, with Dragonmumma a bit worried that they wouldn't come home. But it was great! The kids loved the prints and the ease of use (Dragonett Lad not a fan of cling wrap) and a quick wipe and they were ready to go the next day.

Since then, we have gotten some more - the bugs ones are awesome!!

A definite Winner Here!!

Welcome Back!!

Hey Fellow Interneters!

As is CLEARLY obvious, I took a long break from my blogs while I was off baking and raising sproggletts and dealing with life in general.

But I am again feeling the lure of my blogs, so will be resurrecting them all again!! WOOT!!

So to start it off for 2015, here are a few things I am currently drooling over!!

From the Store Silly Duffa's comes the most gorgeous skirts!! Here is Over The Rainbow...



I am also catching up with the times and I'm on Facebook now, so I'm adding Facebook links if I have them too - Check out the stunning photos on Silly Duffa's FB page!!

A Stunning Kid Outfit

Now, if you read my last blog post, you'll know that I closed my store in protest of what Etsy has chosen to become. I now only buy from sellers I 'know' now.

But, I have recently been poorly and bored, so I went wandering in the dress section.  And I came across this stunning outfit!!

This Girls Ruffled Pants Halter Back Set  is stunning and is very much on my "If I Had Money List" from seller sanguinetticlothing



And on a personal, parental note - if this was my child, this photo would be pride of place - look at the joy on that little face!!!  aaaaawwwwwww
