Running out of ideas for baby led weaning meals? I made these a few days ago for Vida as she’s really starting to hate the spoon! I made easily transportable food for our holiday but she was having none of it and has now let me know that she plans on being an exclusive baby…

Lavender Hot Chocolate (Cacao)
It may be June, but today felt like the middle of winter! Trust London to keep us on our toes with the weather… Plus, my kids kindly like to keep me up at night and I’m feeling like I need a lot of self-care. So tonight, after putting the kids to bed, I had a…
How ‘Bounded Rationality’ Is Being Used To Manipulate Us Into Vaccinating
A good friend of mine, a conscious parenting mum of three who also happens to be an Oxford-educated lawyer (information I feel I have to share for fear that the perception is that all us ‘crunchy mums’ are residing in a cave in the Himalayas chanting into the mountains and doing yoga with goats–not that…
Sweet Potato & Pumpkin Seed Breakfast Biscuits
It’s hard finding things to eat for breakfast when you don’t eat gluten or dairy (or refined sugar), and tend to keep it plant-based. My dear friend Denise, yoga instructor and essential oils guru, gave me the idea for these and I put my own little spin on her wonderful original recipe, and it’s given…

One succinct, easy-to-read, easy-to-understand document…
Guest Blog: Turmeric and Fish Oil: An Anti-Inflammatory Match Made in Heaven?
What follows is a guest blog by Water for Health. As someone who came through rheumatoid arthritis naturally, clean, filtered water, turmeric and fish oils were all things that contributed greatly to my remission, but their quality is of paramount concern – you can’t just get any old supplements – which is why I was…
Why I’m Steaming My Vagina – And Why I Want You To Do The Same!
My girlfriends and I have a Whatsapp group, whereby around 50% of the conversations involve them laughing at my “crunchy, new age” ways – in a totally supportive way, I might add. So it was only fitting that just before partaking in my first vaginal steam (we have always been very open about our menstruation,…
Vegan Thai Tom Kha Soup
Ever since we went to Thailand five years ago, I’ve been making this soup. I wasn’t yet vegetarian when we were there so I used to make it with chicken, but amended it to be vegan (using tofu) more recently. I don’t know what it is about this soup, but when we were in Thailand I…
