A Day In The Life

Quarantine Hasn’t Changed Me, It’s Just Shown Me Who I Really Am As A Mother

July 14, 2020 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

By Lauren Vaknine When lockdown began, I’d wanted to write an article about how parents with young children would be the Winston Churchills of this war, motivating our children and reminding ourselves of the superior importance of our role. The onus was on us to display the kind of strength and resilience that could only…

When You’re A Nutritionist & Health Food Blogger… And Your Son Gets Diagnosed With Malnutrition

January 29, 2020 by theorganicspoon 5 Comments

There’s a reason I lost my shit the last time (because this has happened many times) a well-meaning fellow mum said to me, “Just arrange the vegetables in smiley faces, that worked for our son who was *really* fussy”.

The Pursuit of Happiness – Writing My First Novel

July 27, 2016 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

I am constantly surprised by life, by how it brings us to exactly what we need at exactly the time we need it. Throughout my childhood and teens I was always labelled as ‘average’. ‘She’s not a high-flyer, middle of the road,’ is what teachers used to say. The fact that I heard the word…

My Spiritual Journey

July 27, 2016 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

I first came across the idea of meditation as a lifestyle fourteen years ago, when I was eighteen and wheelchair-bound. I’d had juvenile rheumatoid arthritis since the age of two. My amazingly spiritual parents had taken me first to healers, psychic surgeons and homeopaths before ever considering embarking on something as preposterous as chemical drugs,…

Welcome to Organic Spoon!
