Introduction. My first blog post!

My name is Claire and I live in the east of England with my American husband. With today being January 1st I thought it would be a good time to start a blog. I have been thinking about starting one for a while and thought that with it being the new year today it would be a good time to start.

This year I have some New Years resolutions that I am hoping that my documenting our progress on here will encourage us to keep them. Our New Years resolutions are,

• To be a greener family. I would consider our family to be greener that some but there is defiantly room for improvement. I will be writing blogs on things such as reusable cotton pads, mama cloth and other Eco friendly household items that we decide to introduce. 

• To eat healthier. I would say that 80% of the time we eat fairly healthily but I am wanting to improve this. We have decided to take the 100 days of real food mini pledges that are starting this Monday (http://www.100daysofrealfood.com/2014/12/22/cut-processed-food-14-weeks/) I am hoping this year we can make some good eating habits that stick with us. 

• To spend more time outdoors. The first year that we were dating my husband and I did a lot of day trips out and this year I'm hoping that we will visit some new places. We will be getting a puppy in just over a week so I'm hoping that this year we have spend more time outdoors. With my husbands family not being close by I am hoping that by writing about our travels that are family will be able to see what we are up too. 

I'm looking forward to sharing all this with you.
