+ My Plant-Based Pregnancy

Leave a Comment

It’s a special moment in a woman’s life when she can tell people “I’m pregnant!” When you’re vegan and/or eat minimal animal products though, people immediately become concerned about your nutrition. Barely a ‘congratulations’ had passed people’s mouths before questions regarding nutrition were directed my way. I tried to be patient and share my perspective, but it was made more frustrating when you consider that no-one would dare dream say to an unhealthy pregnant woman eating a high-fat,

+ Evan’s Newborn Photoshoot at Home in London

Leave a Comment

While pregnant with Evan, I knew I wanted to immortalise the early weeks with him as babies change so quickly! I was able to find a fantastic photographer called Kate Elliott via Instagram and her Arrow and Lo photography blog. What I loved most about her style was that they were unposed, didn’t require props and she was also happy to take some extra shots on request too (for example a line-up of bamboo breast pads drying on

+ Our Basement Renovation – Part 1

Leave a Comment

On the face of it, we moved into a flat with the bathroom of our dreams. When viewing the flat before buying, we were blown away by the giant shower enclosure,freestanding bathtub and the sheer space it was going to offer us. Our surveyor suggested we consider making the main bathroom an en-suite and adding a walk-in wardrobe between that and the master bedroom. From there, we could then transform the spare toilet/utility room into a family bathroom. After all,

+ Split, Korčula & Dubrovnik: Croatia Travel Tips

Leave a Comment

I planned our Croatia trip almost a year in advance – we had no big plans to look forward to and Croatia was always on our bucket list so it made sense to get something in the diary. It was a daunting task – there’s so many must-see places that it’s futile to try to tick them all off in one week, so we settled on an itinerary of five nights in Split (to include day trips to

PEEK-A-BOO! Ev can't believe his eyes, 1.5 years PEEK-A-BOO!

Ev can't believe his eyes, 1.5 years later than planned we're finally on our first family holiday abroad 🇬🇷💙🌊

His new favourite words are plane, boat and beautiful 🤣

Today was the first day he ever saw waves crash on the beach. Seeing his eyes turn from apprehension to pure joy as the water reached his toes is a memory I will cherish forever!
Two months since we moved into our new home! 

🏡🏡🏡🏡

Things I'm grateful for:
- Country fields on our doorstep
- Local villages to cycle to with Ev
- We have space to use our dining table!
- Room to take up strength training again 💪
- Not having to work from Ev's bedroom each day

I really miss our Finsbury Park flat (which we spent 5 years making everything exactly to our taste), the local coffee shops and amazing food options... It still blows my mind that finding a good veggie food delivery outside of London is so bloody impossible! 

Ev is so much happier here though now that he has more space to play and run about 💚💚💚
