When I was thinking about ways to improve this little blog, I thought about some of the things I wish I had known more about before I started on my vegan journey. There is so much information out there that it can be very overwhelming to really know what the reality of a situation is: … Continue reading ‘The reality of…’ series

I was first introduced to NaNoWriMo about 5 years ago and since then every November there has been an attempt for me to write 50,000 in the month.

I went in thinking that there was no way that zoos … Continue reading Can vegans support zoos?

Why perfection is a myth

On Christmas Eve, our Pippin finally crossed over the rainbow to be with his brother Merry. We had noticed him slowing down for a few days - not as energetic and a bit unsteady on his feet - and when we woke on Christmas Eve he was in his final moments. As with most pets, … Continue reading Dealing with the loss of a pet
