This site is about ethical living (predominantly parenting and the many decisions we have to face as parents currently), capturing the many trials and tribulations we face in terms of this - not only in how we treat others, but also in our comsumerism and everyday routines.

It is a resource for those needing guidance and information on ethical purchasing - through reviews and personal experience and also on parenting (with my own journey documented within the blog) as well as on the other aspects of choosing what we, ourselves, feel is the right path.

Ethical living promotes ‘a better mindset that espouses a better awareness and sense of conscience about one’s actions’ (Leo Hickman, 2001). It is a philosophy of making decisions about everyday life in relation to ethics and morals, specifically focusing on relationships with friends and family, the environment and most importantly ourselves. It is about enjoying the world we live in, not in a comsumeristic, materialistic fashion, but a natural fashion. Getting back to the root of it all. Allowing our mind to be calm and at peace.

Living ethically to me, means working with the Earth, not only in relation the beautiful natural world in the form of plants and animals, but in working with each other and promoting healthier relationships.
