I'm going to use this blog to chart my journey into first-time parenthood. Baby B is due in January 2011. It seems to me that there is a money-sucking baby industry out there, and you could easily believe that you have to spend an awful lot of money when you have a baby. Can this really be the case? And so much of how our Western culture treats babies (and their parents) seems to me to be at odds with what our evolution has so perfectly designed for us. Are the 2 related?
When Baby B arrives, I want to bring him/her up in a way that is free from as many of the trappings of materialism as possible, and stay as true to what mother nature intended for us as I can, given that I live in 21st Century Britain. I wonder whether bringing up Baby B in a natural, environmentally aware way will also save me money. Let's see...
I'd love to hear from other mums and dads who share the same outlook. Feel free to use this blog to share ideas, tips and philosophies on life!

Hooray for Freecycle!
Was really pleased today to get hold of a free, second-hand (though unused, I think) gym ball/birthing ball via Freecycle today. How cool!
