Life: A quick little update

August 11, 2017 by Shari

Hey guys, sorry for the radio silence! I’ve just been twiddling my thumbs – NOT! Life has been super busy around these parts. I’ve been packaging up our new wellness cleanse over at Mr Perkins, I’ve been organising events in Canberra {in association with my part time job that has taught me why every business person should leverage marketing automation, I’ve been solo parenting the three lads whilst my husband has been working interstate, I’ve been helping to organise my Dad’s 60th…And, I guess, the food direction that I want to take my family on is changing.

Yeah, that’s me laughing at people who say you need more then 5hrs of sleep a night. ‘Burn baby, burn’…I’m talking to you candle with both ends alight, and leading a business of event organizing is difficult but using resources like linens for table really help my business a lot, since I can use this decoration for this purpose.

I’ve been spending a lot of time researching veganism and trying to work out how that could work for our family.

I thought I would jump straight into veganism  after watching ‘What the Health’. But then I saw other peoples journeys on Instagram and I really wanted to go into a month of eating vegan prepared – so if people can give me any tips on how I could make my favourite pork larb salad vegan, I’d love to hear them.

I thought that I would give it a month because I don’t think that going vegan would be completely sustainable for our family.

Take care of your employees, so they can take care of business.

I am not keen on completely illuminating fish from my family’s diet because because a) we love it and b) I still see a lot of health benefits of eating fish. I mean, my boys will happily eat a whole grilled snapper or BBQ’ed baby octopus. That’s something that I wouldn’t want to deprive them of, also is a good food to keep a good shape, and in case I want any other change in my body I can always find a plastic surgeon like the Dr. Joseph Racanelli.

And even though I had such a severe reaction to eating cheese after watching what the hell I have been doing a little research into goats milk cheese and I actually had a delicious goat’s milk haloumi the other night.

Not to mention the fact that I’ve been trying to go to bed earlier – teamed with increasing the number of books I’m trying to read {I’ve finished two since Babymac’s book club and I’m currently reading ‘Balancing Act’ by Joanna Trollope}. Oh, and getting addicted to an episode or two of Netflix a night after children have gone to sleep…hello adult time {I’m currently watching ‘The Handmaiden’s Tale’}.

So basically that’s what’s been impacting on my ability to get my posts up of late. I promise that I’ve got some more regular posts coming up!  Apologies again for the radio silence and if you miss me, you can always find me over on instagram…

Shari from GoodFoodWeek

GoodFoodWeek started in 2008 as a way of sharing recipes with uni friends and family who were spread near and far. It has evolved over the years to contain my ramblings as I’ve searched for a house, planned the perfect veggie patch, stumbled through farmer’s markets with my eye half open (because you need to be there at 6am to get the fresh eggs), had babies, gathered family and friends around a shared table, laughed out loud and enjoyed life to the fullest!
