Hi, I’m Rachel!
I’m a wife and mother of two and I live in the South West of England.
I started this blog in May 2024 to share tips and ideas about all things homemaking. Here you will find simple recipes, tips for living a less toxic lifestyle, intentional gift ideas and some DIY projects along the way.
Read on for a bit more information of what you can expect to find within each category, here at Green Homemaking.
After the birth of my first child I experienced a number of gut health issues, which led me to have a very restricted diet for a while. Everything I could previously consume was suddenly causing me major issues.
I’ve always been a big foodie, so this was pretty devastating for me.
At four months postpartum I ended up having my gallbladder removed, but unfortunately this didn’t solve the issue and actually made things worse.
I’ve been trying to avoid eating gluten ever since, but would often struggle to find recipes that didn’t contain processed foods, which I also can no longer tolerate.
Cooking meals from scratch and using nutrient dense, whole food ingredients has been a game changer for me.
I love sharing simple recipes that my whole family enjoys and which I hope will support you, if you are also on a healing journey.
These recipes are also great if you are newly postpartum.
I love sharing information about how we can reduce toxins in our homes, by swapping out any products that may not be optimal for our health.
This includes cleaning products, beauty products, kitchenware and any other items that we come into contact with on a daily basis.
I’ve always enjoyed putting a lot of thought into gifts that I buy for friends and family. I also try to be intentional about the items that I bring into my own home.
I have put together a number of gift idea posts, to share some of my favourite items that I’ve purchased for adults and children over the years.
Here I share how to make your own non-toxic cleaning products at home, with just a few simple ingredients. These homemade cleaners are safer for you and the environment.
Decorating my home with little touches of seasonal decor brings me so much joy throughout the year. I have included any home decor posts within this category as well.
If you’ve made it this far, thank you so much for being here! I would love for you to follow along by joining my email list below.
All the best
Rachel
