Welcome to The Whole Home! This is a space where we make lower footprint, sustainable living feel a little less complicated, a bit more budget friendly and just a whole lot more NORMAL in a world that often glorifies the opposite.
If you're new here, I'm Kezia - 39 year old mum of 3 in West Sussex, UK living a more sustainable, ethical, and budget friendly life bit by bit, and make it more fun and normal for other people too! Subscribers feel like friends all on the journey too, in our different ways (with zero judgement!) and we're all here finding the joy in bucking trends and norms of consumerism in favour or a more budget friendly and sustainable day to day life.
In my spare time I'm a full time chauffer to mini ballerinas, a bee keeper, a rookie gardener, and I'm also pretending I'm 18 again and putting my life onto the course I've wanted for a while by getting a degree in Psychology.
Welcome to our world! Kezia x

A behind the scenes look at a waste food event! I loved getting to spend the day with UK Harvest seeing exactly what goes into a waste food event, where waste food comes from, why it exists and how this charity is changing the story!

Everything we spent and ate... IN A MONTH! (Part 1)
We're diving into a full month of how we make our £500 budget work for our family of 5. This is week one and we're breaking down the budget and looking at a week where we started the month by overspending quite a bit! I hope it's helpful to take a deeper look into how the week's string together and how we manage the budget more widely.
Part 2 will go live tomorrow (Monday) and includes a few more recipes people have requested and some answers to FAQs so ask anything in the comments too and I'll try to answer the FAQs in a subsequent video.

My kids BEGGED me to put more eggs in the incubator but I don't want more ducks - so here's a throwback to last years adrenaline filled rollercoaster hatching 6 duck eggs!
Everyone says not to help, but having done it, I don't think that's actually the best advice. Better advice I think would be: know WHEN to help them, and WHAT to do to do it well! And that was the story of this hatch where they all made it out alive! (But not without 3am ducking midwiffery!)

I LOVE hearing all of you who are baking bread and loving it! I do really think as prices of food go up, baking your own bread can both save money but ALSO can provide some beautiful joy in a potentially more frugal food line up! These recipes are in our meal plan most weeks (EVERY Saturday night is pizza night!) and having one simple recipe that can make so many things makes it feel simple to make them all happen!

This week we're bringing a little peace and strategy to all the headlines about food costs rising! We're looking at exactly what's predicted and the top ways we're strategising to stay on budget, even as costs rise!
I know those kinds of headlines (and the unknown) can bring anxiety - and just budget difficulty - so hopefully this gives you some ideas that make you feel more powerful and in control as numbers change! x

This is a video I have wanted to make for the longest time because we show these recipes every time we show what we ate in a week!
This is the easy bread recipe that makes pretty much every bread product we eat from pizza to sandwich bread, two flatbreads, two chocolate breakfast rolls burger buns, hotdog rolls all the things! And it’s a really simple flexible and forgiving one to make.
I think baking your own bread is such a great way to start being more budget friendly in the kitchen because it saves money but it also brings so much joy without spending a lot of money!
Goes live in 30 minutes: B R E A D : One simple bread recipe, SO many easy things to bake with it!

Today's episode goes live as 12 noon GMT / 8am EST and I'm taking a deep dive into why I've had to say a costly "no" to all the invisible, behind the scenes AI in content creation.
It shocks me how much AI is being used without any conversation or regulation of the adverse affects of it and therefore, the environmental toll of our social media feeds... so we're diving in!
This is a ZERO judgement episode - I find a huge number of people have no idea the ways AI is used and the impact, and my goal isn't to say what's right or wrong for anyone other than me. And to let you into why this is the only moral choice I can make. My goal is just to shine a light on this evolving world and the role it plays in content creation, and the environment!
