Hello! I went into pregnancy with incredibly low iron readings that were a concern to doctors and soon, naturally I was offered iron tablets, infusions and asked if I wanted to block my periods yet not once asked about my diet or lifestyle in general. I didn’t feel comfortable with any of the options presented and took the readings as a sign I needed to make some changes.

Guys. Is it just me? Every week I sit with a pen and paper and stare at a blank and empty page as I try and figure out what on earth we even cook. Fun fact: I don’t enjoy cooking. Baking I get more excited about… BUT, I love the joy of knowing my kids are getting homecooked meals that can make their bodies strong!

We all dread those incoming sniffles as the temperature drops off, so here are some of our immunity go-to’s that I always have on hand/are nourishing our bodies with so we feel prepared if that time comes. I grew up thinking Calpol was the holy grail, not because my mum had told me so, but because what was better than receiving a gooey pink sugary substance through a syringe at 6 years old?
