When I was 15/16, I had a falling out with a “friend”. Let’s call her Lucy. Lucy and I lived around the corner from each other. Really we were friends by proxy. I realise that now. Being Lucy’s friend was hard work. I essentially always felt left out and there were moments where I was […]
You either love hummus, or you don’t. I love chickpeas. They are my go-to protein for vegetarian meals. While searching for a snack alternative I stumbled upon a gluten & dairy free hummus at the supermarket. Needless to say, I was devastated when it was discontinued to our store. I tried alternatives, but they weren’t […]
You, have the power to change anything you want in your life. That’s right, you do. No one else holds that control. While others can influence you, the choice is always up yours. The first step is always the hardest. It’s normal to have self-doubt, to think about all the what if’s. Whatever you decide […]
There is this Leunig cartoon that I just absolutely love. What are you doing? I’m using my device. What is your device? The sky is my device. Do you need to recharge it? No it recharges me. Every year when spring rolls around this is how I feel. After what feels like a lifetime of […]
My parents always told me that I was free to do whatever I wanted, but I was not free of the consequences of my decisions. Now that I’m a parent I’ve said the same thing to my kids. Yet, I tell my kids that their decisions affect not only them but those around them. We have […]

There is no denying that that’s how I would have felt. These feelings are ok and totally normal. Now think back to when you […]
If you love apricot chicken, then you will love this peach version. One day I was cleaning up my folders, reorganizing and just getting rid of stuff. That is how I came across this recipe. Looking at the ingredients I was like, well I have that, and that and that, hmm, I think this shall […]
I don’t remember the last time I visited a gym. It’s been a while. Sure I’ve done a few casual yoga classes, or done some laps at the pool, but other than that all my cross training gets done at home. We have a small house, so no I don’t have my own room dedicated […]
Have you ever had one of those days where you just feel so unmotivated you don’t want to do anything, not even adult? Yeah, I’m hearing you, I’ve had a few of those days. Then there are days where the motivation hits you like the first coffee for the day, and everything is full steam […]
In the warmer months, I absolutely love granola. It’s my go-to breakfast food. It’s so versatile, as I can have it on its own, or on top of a smoothie bowl, or with some yogurt. Most recipes for granola, however, are laden with honey, maple syrup or some other type of sweetener. They are all well […]
