Natural, safe, chemical free, clean dishes with Kin Kin Naturals

There is something so inspiring about how each and every purchase we make as consumers can make a huge difference in the world around us and our own families lives and health.

The more you look into the chemicals that surround our day to day living the more you see how dangerous they can be for our families health, just how many there truly are and what a cocktail we can come into contact with over the course of just a single day, even just around our house, our houses that are supposed to be our safe havens and loving homes of our family.

Even little purchases you might not at first think of like your dishwashing liquid can have a big effect on making your home environment a healthier one, after all dishwashing is something we do, and we do all the time!

Here on the Sunshine Coast where I live, through shopping at my favourite local supermarket the Maleny Supa IGA I fell in love with the most beautiful dishwashing detergent that is made right here and has so much heart in it's creation.

Kids in the garden

There is something so wonderful about children in the garden.                                               The garden can be a neverending source of learning, joy and wonder. A place to discover amazing insects, pick and eat fruits, herbs and vegetables and marvel at all the amazing things to see, eat, feel and smell.

From veggie gardens to cacti and succulent gardens. Herb gardens to fairy gardens. Pot plant gardens on a balcony, hanging baskets of strawberries and herbs, fruit tree forests, amazing landscaping to sensory gardens. There is a garden to capture everyone's heart.

Gardens really are as unique as their creators and only limited by imagination.

Gardening teaches children the rewards of responsibility, patience, teamwork and to care about the natural world around them while showing them what an exciting and fun filled place to be the garden really is. Just like a live science lesson.

The home garden can also be a fantastic source of ingredients, saving you money on your grocery bills and providing you with the fresh ingredients that make home made meals come alive.

Having fresh produce on hand is great inspiration to try new recipes, cook more and eat more healthily.

When you look after a home garden as a family it becomes a beautiful bonding experience that creates memories that last a lifetime and gives children so much more understanding about food, where it come from and what it goes through before making it to the dinner plate.

And the very best bit of all...Children really enjoy eating fruits and vegetables that they themselves helped to grow and harvest. THEY REALLY DO!
