All our Good Little Company products are gluten-free (hooray!) but if you, or your friends have Coeliac disease you will understand the frustration in trying to find more tasty gluten-free food options. Trying to eat out on a gluten-free diet can be even more stressful. Coeliac UK want you to get involved to help them prove to the catering industry that gluten-free food is in high demand. Gluten-free Challenge week (14th – 20th May) is a chance to collectively raise awareness of the need for more gluten-free products and menus. Head over to their site to find out ways to get involved. ]]> 2012-05-03T10:14:26+00:00 http://goodlittlecompany.com/index.php/weeblog/how_to_ditch_caffeine/ http://goodlittlecompany.com/index.php/weeblog/one_post/how_to_ditch_caffeine/#When:08:46:08Z There’s no denying it, we love a good cup of coffee to get us started in the morning when all we can think about is a cosy bed, pillows, naps…zzz.

Shoppers can now impulse buy Hope (in the form of blocks of wood) at Budgens supermarkets for £1, which is donated to the Alzheimer’s Society. The block is then returned to the shelves so that other shoppers can ‘buy’ it.]]> 2012-04-17T13:23:10+00:00 http://goodlittlecompany.com/index.php/weeblog/doodle_adventures/ http://goodlittlecompany.com/index.php/weeblog/one_post/doodle_adventures/#When:09:54:50Z We’re loving this Draw a Stickman site.

It’s hard to dispute that claim so we plan to offset the inevitable confectionery overdose by running up and down hills, rolling eggs in parks. Did you know you can dye your eggs naturally? Apparently purple cabbage makes green, red onion skins make red and ground turmeric makes yellow (on brown eggs). Find out how to make natural dyes for your egg decorating session with this tutorial. ]]> 2012-04-03T15:09:53+00:00 http://goodlittlecompany.com/index.php/weeblog/earth_hour_20121/ http://goodlittlecompany.com/index.php/weeblog/one_post/earth_hour_20121/#When:13:22:10Z Are you participating in Earth Hour this weekend?
