DESCRIPTION:Abstract\n\nLifecourse transitions are often accompanied by c
 hanges in household economy\, leisure practices and social networks and 
 characterised as times of reflection on identity and lifestyle.  For pol
 icy makers interested in encouraging healthy or sustainable consumption 
 such periods might be thought to provide ‘windows of opportunity’ in whi
 ch to deliver interventions (Darnton et al 2011). \n\nThere is little su
 stained work\, however\, which explores how\, when and why mundane aspec
 ts of everyday life change as people move through such transitions\; and
  it is unclear how long any such changes are maintained. Existing studie
 s of the adoption of sustainable consumption practices do not typically 
 track individuals over time and longitudinal studies of life transitions
  rarely consider sustainability implications.\n\nThis paper draws on lon
 gitudinal research with 40 new mothers which explored how various aspect
 s of everyday life\, which have implications for sustainable consumption
 \, changed or remained stable over a period of two years.  Some signific
 ant aspects of the experience of this transition which have implications
  for everyday routines are outlined. Focusing on data from repeat interv
 iews with sixteen women in London and Scotland\, I explore some of the w
 ays in which modes and meanings of everyday shopping for food shift as w
 omen become mothers\, and challenge a simple reading of this transition 
 as a potential moment of change for more sustainable consumption.\n
