So, this lockdown has us taking our time. Cooking, spending time doing the small and methodical tasks that I have taken for granted for far, far too long. I’m walking my talk and taking each moment as it comes. Enjoying the normal, enjoying the feeling of taking my time. But more than anything, I’m constantly…

Vegan potato gratin
My son is dairy allergic, so apart from me being DF due to health issues, we don’t cook with dairy at home for him as well. My husband is working from home right now with New Zealand in lockdown. He’s been a busy boy! Not only is he doing his public servant job from MY…

How I’m returning to a simpler life
While its a tough ask to find silver linings right now amidst such uncertainty and sadness, it’s important that we remember to regularly take ourselves out of our negative feelings. It’s OK to feel all the feels. It’s also OK to put them on pause and rise out of our distress to reflect on the…

Be kind, be gracious, be gentle
It’s OK to sit in discomfort… for while… It’s OK to feel your grief, sadness, fear. For a time. But don’t stay there too long. Move forward. Decide who you want to be in this time of turmoil and uncertainty. Find yourself, your true self and show up for your family, and the world as…
