Recipe | Oatmeal & Raisin Raw Balls

January 24, 2019

After a month of being back on my vegan diet, I feel so much better – physically and mentally. I’ve also been a lot more conscious of what I’m eating – after a little over-indulgence at Christmas and some less than perfect eating habits in the second half of last year, I’ve gotten back to my plant-based, clean...

A room of my own

January 23, 2019

January 22, 2019

Dear Bean Another week ticked off, another week closer to meeting you. People keep asking if I have an idea of whether you’re a boy or girl, and really I don’t! I don’t mind either way – though your sisters and brother cannot wait to find out! I think I’m holding on until I know,...

Dear Bean – Week Eighteen

January 15, 2019

Dear Bean Eighteen weeks – can’t believe how close I am to being halfway through this pregnancy! Time is flying by {a little too fast for my liking}. I’m feeling pretty good, lots of energy and happiness. The kiddos are still debating whether they want a girl or boy – so far it’s a 50/50...
