This is our blog recording our attempts to become greener over 2010. We made a New Years Resolution to try and make sure no new plastic comes in to the house or business over 2010.
1) Because we believe it is important that we start taking alternatives to plastics and oil based products more seriously - they are pollutative and will damage future generations if we don't do something to stop the waste now...2) Because we are nutters and we like a challenge...plastic free?! Have you heard of Lego? Clinique? Floss?! Buttons and zips?! its going to be a nightmare....follow our progress, or lack of it, here -
Greenish. Wish us luck!

Saturday Afternoon is the new Saturday Night! Baby Loves disco is simply the best parent-toddler-day-out idea that has ever been dreampt up....If you have ever sat at home and sighed....<We never go dancing anymore...>, then this one is for you.
With changing facilities, toddler friendly snacks, breast-feeding sofas and baby-friendly play areas, this alone would make a BLD afternoon a great way to chill and spend time with your little darlings. Add to that some ripped-up-funky-tunes and some kicking disco lights and there you have it. Baby DOES love disco!!
There is even a bar for the more rhythm-shy parents amongst us....A great afternoon, made even greater by the thoughtful touches - our little boy was given a pair of union jack leg warmers by the lovely BLD hosts and he has been wearing them as "disco-sleeves" for the last three days and nights....you can't buy that sort of fun just anywhere you know!
Check out the link for venues and dates near you - you will never regret going and giving your partner the opportunity to win the Best Dancing Dad medal. (He hasn't taken that off in three days and nights either)
