GOAL:

To research and understand how food additives and non-organic products can affect our health and to combat this by starting to make more food where possible and eating organically/whole

When I go food shopping now I’ve started making switches to organic produce where available. For examples I’ve recently picked up organic lettuces and organic Scottish porridge oats. I’ve also made switches with our pasta choices to wholewheat varieties.

I’ve also started making some sauces from scratch and I’m about to prepare some cereal bars!

GOAL:

To implement ‘slow living’ strategies to make my brain calm down and focus on the ‘here and now’

I’ve started a daily sensory activity with my toddler whilst I’m in the kitchen cooking dinner. We have so far tried sponge painting and also breaking his Lego animals out of a block of ice.

I’ve got a few more ideas up my sleeve to try!
