Welcome to Our Backyard Collective - just a little look into our everyday life.

Life here is a mix of running a lawn mowing business, home learning, volunteering and all the usual busy family life things. It's not always slow or balanced, but I try to keep things simple where I can - sewing, knitting, sourdough, home cooking, and using low-tox products that work for our family. Just real life as it is.

This is a simple, practical guide for mums and daughters navigating hormonal changes, created with my sister. We wanted to make something to share with our girls, just to keep things simple and make a sometimes awkward topic a little easier to talk about.

I like keeping things simple at home - nothing overcomplicated or perfect, just practical things that support our everyday routines.

I use essential oils and low-tox products in our home for things like cleaning, sleep, stress, and general family life. It's not about doing everything perfectly, just choosing what works for us.
