Animal Adventures, Raw Foods & Art Journaling

-

Today we took Luke for a trip to a local farm.  He really loves animals and is always excited to go anywhere like this. He was very happy to be able to stroke lots of the animals today and said it was the best day ever.

We saw cows with their calves, sheep and lambs, pigs and piglets, chickens, rabbits, horses, ponies, turkey's and ducks.  






Luke learns so much more from actually doing things, and getting involved.  This is how he enjoys to learn.  He loves to visit places such as farms and museums, and trips like this are a big part of our homeschooling journey.  We love to get outdoors and go on adventures as much as possible. Making it fun is so important.




Back at home, i've been busy in the kitchen, creating new raw recipes. I made stuffed tomatoes today, and yesterday made a raw chocolate cake. 


I was also very excited to find out yesterday that i've won a place on an online art journaling course starting on Monday.  It's a course i've been thinking of doing for a while, so I was so pleased to have won. I'll have more to share next week when I begin.  

So it's been an eventful few days here, now i'm going to settle down with my herbal tea and another slice of my raw chocolate cake.

    Thank you for so much inspiration. Are you fully raw? Is your entire family on board and how did you find it easiest to transition

    Hey, thank you for the lovely comment. I'm about 90% raw, the boys eat both raw and cooked. I let them choose, and they both enjoy juices and some of the raw foods, but still like to eat cooked foods too. Luke loves cooking and makes a lot of meals himself. I'm still learning lots and my goal for this year is to get my first dehydrator and experiment with that. xx

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...
