It has been a month of change for this little blog. After a year of thinking about it I finally got my own slice of internet pie in December, meaning I can do whatever I want and not have to abide by any blog-host rules. *puts feet on table* *picks nose*
One of the things I have wanted to do is advertise things and companies I love on the side bar and through sponsored posts. Not only do I get to send people their way, but it will also help pay our way once we are a family of four with no jobs – we have BOTH gone and handed in our notice on our current work teams in order to become nomadic adventurers at the end of the summer – EEEEP! (I have bolded that because, Sheesh Macneesh, how momentous!!)
Well, some pioneering companies HAVE begun to share this space with me, and I want to introduce you to them, as they are ridiculously ACE. (You can join this superhero crowd of sponsors, and get your badge over there on the right in about 3 seconds if you fancy it. Here is how.)
Global Seesaw
I have worked with Global Seesaw through the ethical Christmas Fayre I run for coming on SIX years! They are an incredible fair trade company who do the most gorgeous range of products that are both stylish and improving the lives of women in developing countries. They have throws made from vintage saris, laptop bags that wouldn’t look out of place at some seriouspants design festival and a huge collection of accessories.
Check out their website but do also look them up on Twitter, Facebook and Pinterest.
WOW! That is mighty exciting. What a big year you have ahead of you all!

Yahoo, it is eh?! We are so excited
Fantastic idea! My partner and I gave up our jobs last March to spend 2012 travelling around the UK in our T25 camper and it was the best thing we ever did. You have to do these things while you have the chance!
Exactly what we are doing! In our Type 25, a camper called Betty
Thanks for the encouragement!
I did it at 6 am this morning! Voted for you in lots of categories!!!
Oh, you are the BEST! x x x
Oh that’s so exciting! Very brave to make the decision, but I’m sure it’ll be so worthwhile. Looking forward to reading all about it!

Yay, thanks Heather! We are excited too (and maybe, MAYBE just a wee bit nervous)
Wow, that is fantastic. I wish we had the guts to do the same. Unfortunately my family is just too used to tv/sky+/mobile phones etc etc. We couldn’t even afford for me to quick my (2) jobs completely! I cannot wait to read your blogs documenting your knew life. I often think about how much better our (my families) lives would be without mummy constantly rushing around……”sorry baby mummy’s got to get ready for work”…..”sorry baby mummy’s got to get your tea ready so I can go to work”……”you need to put your coat on now or mummy will be late for work”. These seem to be an echo of my life right now.
I could quite happily live without TV, at a push mobile phones and would happily limit my internet browsing (you are bring out a book at some point right?) if it meant staying at home with my kids and seeing theem grow up. Hooo hum. I will just have to read your blog and dream……..
Oh and I voted for you in as many catagories as I thought may slightly apply to you! x

YeeeaH, we are going to be living on my statutory maternity pay so we’ll see how long we can last! We figure campervan living will be super cheap…. :/
It is hard, eh. This livlihood business! I know you make the most of when you do get to all be together.
And thanks for voting : )
