The Veggie Mama
Recently, I made jam. Lots and lots of jam. Jam with SUGAR in it. Old-fashioned jam with sugar. Now I like to eat healthy at the best of times, but I don't see occasional sugar as the enemy, and I don't want always to take lovely treats I really enjoy and find a more nutritious … [Read more...]
This is a sponsored post for Digital Post Australia. I have a confession: I don’t pay much attention to paper mail. In fact, it bugs me that there is so much of it and it goes directly into the recycle bin with nary a glance. I’m not sure I feel the need to be assaulted in this digital age with … [Read more...]
I have wanted to be a mum for as long as I can remember. My mother had one of my brothers when I was just 10 years old, and from that point on, I just knew. By 12, when my other brother was born, I was a mini-mama. I would feed my baby brother before school, rock him to sleep in the afternoons … [Read more...]
I was never really into cottage cheese - it sounded weird and looked even weirder. My sister convinced me to try it on a cracker once, and I was pleasantly surprised. Given my propensity to avoid white wobbly food, I had steered clear thinking it would be tasteless goo that gave me the willies. … [Read more...]
I love a good tonic for when the weather turns and you feel the sniffles coming on. But the last thing I'm going to do is get my babies to drink boiling water with lemon and ginger in it when they're sick - so the last time I spied baby Peps with a runny nose, I mushed her up this little … [Read more...]
Oh is there anything that will stop your house from being a priceless showpiece more than having kids? Not that I've ever had a priceless showpiece of a house... ever. But I didn't mind myself a bit of a tidy abode from time to time. I am inherently lazy so sometimes it was a bit of a struggle, … [Read more...]
I like to shine a spotlight on small businesses and work-at-home mums where I can. Sometimes they are advertisers, sometimes it’s just stuff I have found and want to share. Let’s high-five them, shall we? Y'all, stop what you are doing right now and go check out these kiddo … [Read more...]
I know! It's tofu! My sworn enemy for so long. It's not the first time I've had a tofu recipe on the blog (that would be this smoky barbecue kebabs one), but if you've been around for a while, you'll know I'm not much of a fan. Too white, too wobbly, too tofu-tasting. I have a habit of looking … [Read more...]
Guys and dolls! Please welcome a bit of a hero of mine - Meg from My Wholefood Romance. As I learn about creating healthy and nutritious meals for my family, I find Meg to be inspirational. A thrill to have her sharing here at Veggie Mama today! When I was pregnant, I was adamant that my … [Read more...]
There's been a lot on the internet I've been fascinated to read lately. I always squirrel away something a little bit longer for when the kids are in bed and I can actually concentrate - and these have all struck me for some reason or another. I'm still here: back online after a year without the … [Read more...]
I am obsessed with Thug Kitchen. For the uninitiated, it is a vegan tumblr that talks about not eating overly-processed crap and gives recipes and tips for eating healthy, veggie-packed food. Only it is doing it with a bucketload of attitude and extreme swears. I cannot get enough. It has only … [Read more...]
I don't often do reviews, but the first 24 hours after I applied Eco Tan to my skin, I knew I had to share. There are a few things I look for in a tanning product (not that I use it often, but when I do I have conditions, you know?!): it can't smell horrific and it's got to go on easily with … [Read more...]
Remember the other day on Facebook I mentioned Abby finally ate something for dinner other than a sandwich? I was ecstatic. After almost a year of sandwiches, cereal or yogurt for dinner (and not much variety at other times of the day either, despite my repeated offerings of everything from apples … [Read more...]
Hello lovely Veggie Mama readers! I’m Serena from Pretty Fluffy and I’m so thrilled to be here today with you all. I have to start by admitting my secret shame. I’m a terrible vegetarian. After 4 years, I still miss hot chicken rolls with gravy, Tofu scares me a little, and I once bought a … [Read more...]
I remember the first time I took Abby to the shops by myself. It was super-early on because I figured learning how to navigate that was best done sooner rather than later, and it wasn't long before I was cruising aisles like the best of them. Then came two tiny guys to cart around, and I learned to … [Read more...]
