Helping families go ‘green’ since 2007!
Our journey started 9 years ago! We were mamas with new-borns, desperate for a bit of guidance. We knew that there were innovative and eco-friendly baby products out there, but were clueless where to find them.
Necessity really is the mother of invention … we sourced products and articles that ‘felt good’ to us, inspired us and helped us survive and decided to share them! So the Survival Guide for Families magazine was born.
By the time the babies, who’d suckled while we burnt the midnight oil doing layouts, started ‘Big School’, we discovered that they weren’t the only things that had changed. The world was a very different place!
It was time for us to change too! Even eco paper did not feel light enough on the planet and totally unnecessary in a technologically changed world where sharing information quickly and inexpensively is possible.
So here we are, your green family guide to help your whole family thrive!
