Family Time, Raw Food Inspiration & Being Brave

-
As usual it's been very hectic around here. I started my new job two days ago and I love it. I get to spend my work days advising people on vitamins, nutrition and herbal remedies. It's perfect for me, and i'm so grateful to have found such an amazing job. 

 I've been trying to make the time that i'm not at work or studying, special time for me and the boys. We've enjoyed snuggling up on the sofa watching dvd's and late night walks in nature. I love moments like these, they are one of the reasons that being a parent is the best feeling in the world. 


I've also been busy in the kitchen creating some recipes and getting some practice with my dehydrator. This week i've made a raw rice and vegetable dish, raw carrot cake, kale chips and raw sundried tomato crackers. They were all delicious and I really enjoyed getting creative in the kitchen.




So my journey towards making positive changes in my life continues. This year has been full of some amazing experiences so far, and i'm so excited about what else is to come over the next few months. As the law of attraction goes, thinking positive thoughts attracts positive things, and that's certainly been true this year. I'll continue thinking positively and feeling that anything really is possible, because I truly believe that now!

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...
