I had no idea what felted soap was before my young fella made it at school this week, and I thought it was a bit weird until he told me it makes the soap last longer and scrubs your skin. As soon as he said that I wanted to know more. I found out the wool used for felting actually shrinks with the soap and dries out well between uses. It's exfoliating and has antimicrobial properties. It makes the soap lather well so you don't use as much and it was used well before luffas and more modern options existed. You can also upcycle woollen clothing to make them. I put some details up on the blog for anyone else interested in this quirky craft (that can look really nice) and in prolonging the life of their soap. We're donating our old footy boots to 'Boots for Remote Kids'. Many kids grow out of their boots in the off season, so this is a good way to ensure they get reused. For people in my area, the Poowong-Loch and Mornington Peninsula Junior Football Clubs are willing to help you get them to AFLNT. Swipe photos for more details. I highly value the process of decluttering and living in a clutter-free home. Even as a low consumer I still find that things in our home become redundant, especially as our kids grow up. If I saved ALL the redundant stuff *just* in case I could reuse it one day I'd be robbing myself of time and energy, actually wasting those items, and building up stress and anxiety in our home. . . So, we mindfully rehome the things we don't need anymore and this provides a huge opportunity to teach kids some important life skills. DON'T declutter for them. . . I wrote about 6 of those life skills for @bubhub parenting website which you can read in full using the link in my profile. But in short, children learn: 1. to think of others. 2. to shift focus away from things and onto people and experiences. 3. to think outside the square. 4. to be environmentally responsible citizens. 5. independence. 6. to appreciate their belongings. We've just gone over our belongings to see if there is enough to sell during the @garagesaletrail weekend at the @poowongpickers festival. . . With school holidays coming up this could be a good time for you to tackle some of your clutter. Our collection of drinking glasses is made up of trophy glasses dating back to our teenage years and reused jam jars, plus two with a lid and handle we bought new. When I first added the trophy glasses, the kids thought they were so fancy! 😆 But why would I hang on to these if we're not going to use them. It's part of our strategy to consume less and live with less clutter. I don't save keepsakes or anything just for special occasions anymore. Everyday is special. ✌🏼💜👨‍👩‍👧‍👦🌿🌏🌸
