Muffin Memories

Sadly, Muffin (a very loving, compassionate, affectionate and intuitive black & white feline sentient being:) had to put to sleep yesterday. We worked out that he was approx 19 years! I am convinced that my beloved furry friend has every chance of a human incarnation in his next life. He had the most beautiful personality, soul and spirit and will be missed for sure. The world is a much darker place without him and thus lives on in our hearts.

I'll never forget you!  

Soup of the Day!

Raw organic beet, apple(2) and lemon (you can't beet it, oo excuse the pun:), soo so simple so soo good!

Grated beets, sea salad and avocado is also lovely(inspired by Shazzie's 'Evie's Kitchen' recipe:) For greens add some versatile and tasty Fe rich flat-leaf parsley too!

Eats at 32 Weeks continued!

Today : Appreciated another lovely green smoothie breakfast made with  organic curly kale, 3 Granny Smith apples, juice of a lemon, baby perfectly-ripe avocado and water this a dream smoothie (so DELICIOUS:) and would recommend it to all(including the green smoothie virgins:)!

Post yesterday's green smoothie eats included: gluten and egg free savoury frittata / tortilla / soca dish made with the gram flour, Savoy cabbage, black pepper, cumin, sea salt and olive oil.

2 tiny yet very juicy oranges

1 Honeydew melon

Eats at 32 weeks!!!

Today : am  Watermelon pm, Green Smoothie: lots of organic curly kale and Savoy cabbage made this intense and hardcore! I balanced this out with a ripe whole pineapple, ripe avocados and water.

Tonight??? something made with the versatile gluten-free gram / besan flour and with the rest of the Savoy cabbage, we'll see!!! 

Lemons!

Savoured and appreciated a lovely home-made green smoothie breakfast consisting of  nothing but pure healthy plant fuel : ripe organic pears, lots and lots flat leaf parsley, spinach from the back yard and water. This would of been a 100% perfect sublime concoction if only I added one vital ingredient. Can you guess? The wondrous lemon of course!

Immunisation - to be or not to be?

There is much debate about whether to immunise your child. As you may of guessed I'm against it!  One feels it's like putting a foreign body inside your precious and delicate offspring's system often compromising their very own unique and wonderfully-healing immune system, causing a future of potential health problems,  childhood diseases and maladies.

I intend to focus on a pure, plant-based diet with plenty of organic leafy greens, organic fruits etc. sunshine, baby massage, nursing / nurturing / love / stimulation as a preventative measure to big pharma and government's not so accurate and thus sound advice.

What are you feelings? 

Good Resources!

My must-read book list includes:

1. The Ransom of Red Chief by O. Henry
2. Salamina by Rockwell Kent
3. An American Tragedy by Theodore Dreiser
4. The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway - I've been meaning to read this one for decades!!!
5. A Dog’s Tale by Mark Twain

These were recommended by 'wise owl' Victoria Boutenko and I  do tend to agree with her wholeheartedly about books vs movies (personally I prefer to unwind with a good book:).

Just like to recommend a nurturing and compassionate offering from a holistic specialist(Harley Street, London), Emma Cannon.

30 Weeks Today (7.5 months:) !!!

Baby's Choice

 

Did you ever think, dear Mother,

As the seeds of me you sowed,

As you breathed new life inside of me

And slowly watched me grow,

In all your dreams about me

When you planned me out so well,

When you couldn't wait to have me there

Inside your heart to dwell,

 

Did you ever think that maybe,

I was planning for you, too,

And choosing for my very own

A mother just like you?

A mother who smelled sweet and who

had hands so creamy white,

A tender, loving creature

Who would soothe me in the night?

 

Did you ever think in all those days

While you were coming due,

That as you planned a life for me

I sought a life with you?

And now as I lay in your arms,

I wonder if you knew

While you were busy making me,

I was choosing you!

Our children chooses us for sure!
