These awesome little hair ties have been popping up everywhere, and while a lot of them are quite cheap - it's still so much cheaper to actually make your own hair ties. Not to mention that it's ridiculously easy!

Last Minute Valentines DIY Gift Ideas

Camille and I have made a pact to try and make as many gifts as possible this year, instead of buying them all. With Valentines literally a few days away, we thought we'd share some of our last minute valentines DIY gift ideas.

One Less Thing: Holiday Mode & Orchard Life

It's been a long time since we did an orchard update on here, so I thought it was about time I did just that!

To be honest with you, the end of 2014 was pretty tough and we didn't manage to get nearly as much done as we'd planned. I suppose that's always the way, but it meant that while we'd planned to just stay in holiday mode over Christmas and New Years - we actually had a lot of work to do.

Fit Friday: Sodastream & Homemade Raspberry Cordial

If you've read this post about our awesome day with Amanda at the Sodastream Play Event - then you'll know that Camille and I were lucky to receive our very own bright yellow Sodastream Play*.

It's been years since we've had a Sodastream, and honestly I'm a little annoyed that our last one went missing - because ever since we've got this, we've been using it non-stop!

Fit Friday: Infused water?

I'm a huge fan of water, but sometimes I get a bit sick of only drinking water all day. And let's be serious, I definitely don't drink the 8 glasses I'm supposed to.

We all know the benefits of drinking water. It regulates body temperature, prevents dehydration and it can even make you look better. So how do you make water more appealing? Add some fruit to it!

One Less Thing: Honey & The Orchard

One Less Thing is a new "life" segment I wanted to introduce to the blog. Basically it will follow Camille and I as we slowly make the move to self sufficiency, restore the orchard to it's former glory and eventually make the huge move to living in the Far North permanently.
