My 100 Day Project

-
It's the Summer Solstice today and i've had some time to do some yoga, make a smoothie and raw chocolate and actually write on my blog, which hasn't been happening as much as i'd like but life's been busy.

A few days ago I started an Instagram challenge called the 100 Day Project. It involves doing something for 100 days and posting a photo on Instagram. I decided mine would be 100 Days Of Recipes! So far it's included juices, smoothies, salads, fruit salads with dips, raw burgers and chia seed pudding. I'm really enjoying it, and it's fun thinking of something new to make everyday.

Here's a few of my photos. If you'd like to find me on Instagram my name is @the_hippy-raw_vegan.









Family life has been hectic lately. Dylan is now 16 and has finished his exams and left high school!! I don't know where the time has gone, but he's happy to be going to college and we celebrated with an evening of Monopoly, music and food. 



Luke's also growing up fast. He turns 13 soon, and has recently joined army cadets. He's changed so much since I started blogging about our homeschooling adventures. I love that they've both grown into lovely young men though.


Now I intend to spend my evening celebrating the solstice with my boys...

Happy Summer Solstice <3

Beauty In The Lakes & Eating Raw In London

It's been a while since I posted an update as life has been so busy with lots of exciting things happening. At the end of September we spent 3 days in the Lake District for our friends wedding. It was a beautiful place and we had a really lovely time.  We stayed in a gorgeous little house which was part of a B&B in a little village near Ullswater.  On the first morning, the boys went outside to explore and found a deer in the field next to us. They spent ages watching it, whilst Luke also made friends with the B&B owners cat. Dylan managed to get a few photos which look amazing. He was so happy. The wedding was beautiful and the boys looked very handsome. We had a lovely time, ate lovely food, took a book ride around the Ullswater and met some lovely people. The evening ended with a lot of dancing which Luke particularly enjoyed. And of course, as I was surrounded by beautiful flowers, trees and lakes, I had to sneak ...

My Photography Project

I've had a week off work this week and time for a much needed rest. There's been so many amazing things happening this year and i'm feeling so grateful for everything. The only down side to this is that I don't always get the chance to follow my creative passions as much as i'd like. So this week has given me the chance to reconnect with my love of photography and i've decided it's time for a new creative project.  So many things have inspired me to do this. I've been reading some of my favourite photography books and a few days ago I watched one of my favourite films Yes Man. In this film Zooey Deschanels character goes out for a run at 6am every morning with a group of people and her camera, taking photos and getting exercise. I love this idea and i'm planning to create my own version of this. I want to spend more time outdoors with my camera. I have some good opportunities to take some lovely photos over the next few weeks with trip...

Creating My Raw Food Kitchen

Yesterday, I received a parcel with my new dehydrator and spiralizer, as well as soon other raw kitchen supplies. I've been wanting a dehydrator for well over a year, and finally decided that now is the right time.  I was very excited to say the least.  I went for a Stockli, which i've heard is really good, so i'm looking forwards to lots of creative time in the kitchen over the next few weeks. Today, Luke and I tried out the spiralizer, which was a bit more complicated than we expected, but we did get the hang of it eventually.  We made carrot and courgette spaghetti, and had that with salad, apple, cashew nuts and olives.  Tomorrow i'm hoping to make some raw crackers or kale chips  I'm looking forwards to experimenting and coming up with some new recipes. I've also been enjoying lots of juices, and this one was delicious - Orange, Carrot and Ginger. It's lovely first thing on a morning as it helps you to feel really ene...
