I came across a great little blog posting toady entitled Authenticity and reality and intention
It made me think quite a bit about running a business in an open and honest manner. There seems to be a great deal of “Greenwash” out there, which is confusing for all. (A synic would say that perhaps it’s meant [...]

Boys Dino T-shirt and Boys Explorer Trousers
I never thought the day would come when I would side with Simon Cowell let alone commend his sometimes questionable dress sense - but when it comes to high waistbands Mr Cowell and I are reading from the same cheesy songbook.

So I meet a lot of Mums in my weekly whirlwind of toddler groups and baby classes and I love chatting to them about “what being a parent is like nowadays”. Worries revolve around the things we “should” be doing as caring parents, baby massage/swimming/signing…! The list is endless and [...]

Boys Swashbuckler Shorts
Today was the nursery outing to Fulham Palace for Barnardo’s “Big Toddle” and George looked fabulous for the occasion in his swashbuckler shorts. I’d put George in his shorts as they are a fantastic orange colour (the official name is “Burnt Sienna”) and a [...]

Oh, I use cloth nappies. I grow a lot of my own veg. My [...]

Dino Theme Baby Vests

And babies dribble, puke, snot and are generally grubby (I think I knew this bit).
The two facts combined mean that you get through [...]

I don’t know about the rest of the country, but it has been absolutely gorgeous weather here in Cornwall. Inevitably that means plenty of visits to the beach with the kids, pottering in the garden, weeding the veg patch and checking to see how the tomatoes are coming along…
Nearly all of the Frugi team are growing vegetables [...]

Well hopefully this is the start of a beautiful blog! Here at Frugi, our planet revolves around organic cotton and ethical clothing, and since most of us in the office are women we feel a strange urge to share our thoughts with the rest of the world!
There’s a whole page of blurb explaining who [...]

Here’s some good news that we want to broadcast…we recently topped the charts for ethical baby clothes! Last month, Ethical Consumer magazine’s article (Made for kids….By kids?) did some digging into the nitty gritty of organic and fair trade baby clothes.
