Hello beautiful people!

I know this might be unexpected but it has been coming for a while now. I'm closing A Dash of Lemon.

As we evolve so do our passions.

At the beginning of the year, I felt that I no longer had the same passion for food blogging as I once did, my social media presence declined emmensely but I was so afraid to let go. I mean how could I let go of something I have been so passionate about for so long? All the hard work and love I've put into my food blog, my reputation as a vegan foodie/food blogger how could I just give it all up? I was so conflicted until a good friend made me realise that our passions should evolve as we do.

Passion isn't who you are or something you have, it's something you develop and it changes overtime. Many a people continue to pursue the same passion even when the passion has gone past it's expiration date. Have you noticed how often children change what they want to be when they grow up? That's because they are constantly becoming and their interests are always changing. I think we should allow ourselves to do the same as adults.

We should always be open to new interests, new passions, new goals and new dreams.

Thank you all so much for following my journey, for your support and love for what I did. I have loved food blogging. It brought me so much joy, and new friendships and connected me with so many people who love food as much as I do.

I will be closing the blog at the start of the new year so if you have favourite recipes on the blog, now is the time to sace them.

Merry Christmas to you all 🎄💗

💫Mummy, I'm hungry platter💫

parents, do you feel me? Every 5 mins someone coming at me with, "mummy, I'm hungry".

So I started creating a platter each day filled with fruits and snacks - we have named it "mummy, I'm hungry platter" and my hungry little humans love it.

Mavis, what would you like for breakfast?
Mavis: Some cutted fruit please
Me: Sure
Mavis: And can you please add some cutted up banana, because I don't think I have had them cutted before 😂

Trust your kid's instincts, their body knows what it needs.

My kids are free to choose what they want for breakfast and lunch but for dinner I choose most of the time.

We read a book about Go, slow and whoa foods which has really helped the kids learn about a balanced diet. Go foods - eat plenty, Slow foods - eat in moderation and Whoa foods - eat only as treats every now and then.
My son loves tomato sauce and he thinks it should be a Go food because it has tomatoes 😆

Do you ask your kids what they want to eat or do you just pick and choose for them?

Remember to pause + breathe, we are all doing the best we can.

Good-morning!

It's a really good morning here in Warragul, it's nice and a little bit sunny. Starting my morning with this lemon tea before we get started on our first week back to homeschooling since end of term 2. We have finally moved to Warragul, been here 3 weeks now and we absolutely love the country feel . I can't get over how quiet it is, and how lovely the locals are here. It feels surreal that we are here; in our new home, new town - so thankful for our journey and how far God has brought us!
I hope you are all keeping safe and healthy through these challenging times.
