Family rituals and family traditions are great ways to build a close bond with your family. Here are some ideas on how to make your own.
Photo via Reshot The pandemic has reshaped our lives in many ways, and while some of that is difficult at best, in other ways it’s a blessing. For example, more people are planting gardens than in a long time, growing produce and enjoying the perks that come from family time, fresh air, and sunshine. Many people have used this opportunity to explore the health benefits of a plant-based diet, like lower blood sugar and improved kidney function. If you’re one of those folks giving gardening a whirl, read on as we explore some terrific resources on helping both your garden and your community thrive. Seeds ‘N Starters Before you can start digging, deciding what you’re going to grow is a must. All plants have different needs, and some plants are more challenging than others, so a little research will go a long way toward your success. First, look at what vegetables are especially easy to grow, which ones are difficult, and decide what’s right for you. Then decide whether you’ll buy seeds or young plants. Seeds need to be nurtured for germination and have particular timeframes for starting but are less expensive. Young plants give you a headstart, which can be critical if you missed the window for planting them. Just study up on how to select healthy specimens. Pick a Place You might have a spot all picked out for your garden, but before you start tearing up your lawn, make sure you choose a location that matches your plant selections. When selecting your garden plot, take the sunlight that area receives through the day into account, and compare it with the plants you’ve chosen to ensure you meet their requirements. You can have your soil tested to ensure that it can supply your plants with the nutrients they require. Overcrowding plants will deplete their access to energy from the sun, air, and soil. Learn about their space requirements before putting your plants or seeds in the soil. Dying trees in the way? Enlisting a local tree service for removal can open up the perfect spot in your yard. Happy Harvesting As you start to see ripening vegetables, you’ll be anxious to savor them! There are many great recipes to explore, so you can make sure you have all the ingredients on hand when you start picking them for your meals. When it comes to fresh veggies, salads are a natural go-to. Consider whole meals pieced together from your garden for vegetarian dishes. If you decide to put some of your food aside by canning it, Foodies Today has some tantalizing ways to serve them later. Starting a garden is a wonderful, worthwhile experience in many ways. Not only can you enjoy some sun and fresh air, it’s a great time to explore new plant-based recipes.

Resolutions I wish I made last year: New Year Resolutions - Mum Edition Stepping into the new year as a mum feels like embarking on a journey of endless possibilities and well-intended resolutions. It's no secret that we say farewell to the challenges of the past year and embrace the promise of a fresh start, every mum finds herself thinking ahead for not just for herself but for her family too. In this blog post, let's dive into the world of mum resolutions for the new year. Who knows, these resolutions might inspire you to go on your journey of self-discovery, and growth, and to creating another year of love and joy for our families. From self-care rituals to parenting triumphs, here's to another amazing year of motherhood. Prioritise self-care: Make time for your own well-being, whether it's through exercise, hobbies, or relaxation. It's easy to neglect ourselves, and hey - it's a New year, new (refreshed) you! Strengthen family bonding: That camping trip you have always wanted to do? Do it.Plan activities throughout the year that bring your family together and create lasting memories. Remember to clear your camera reel for the adventures ahead! Personal or Career growth: Ever had a dream you wanted to pursue? Or maybe you're thinking of heading back to the workforce. Now is as good a time as any to think about goals on when to get active again or explore new opportunities, or maybe to even put time aside to pick up a hobby or side project you've been wanting to do. Enhance your parenting: Some parents wonder what is going on in their childs brain... maybe your goal this year is to continuously put in effort into learning and educating yourself and adapting to the evolving needs of your children as they grow. We recommend The Wonder Weeks App to track your baby's progress and development leaps, or consult your local parent center for upcoming courses. Your own Health and wellness: Maybe it's time to dust off your excercise sneakers, or pick up that spin class again. You might find that focusing on maintaining a healthy lifestyle for you and your family, including nutritious meals and regular exercise, helps you this year. For those getting active and back to the gym, we recommend our Mammas Milk Bar Clean Protein Range - clean protein, made safe for you and baby, without any nasty fillers or additives. Effort in creating a supportive network: Ever wanted to brave the social scene and look for new friendships with other parents for mutual support and shared experiences? Consult your local Plunket, or Facebook groups to find local mum coffee groups, or use the Peanut app to look for like-minded mum friends. Organization and time management: Start thinking about strategies to efficiently balance family, work, and personal responsibilities. Maybe have a daily calendar on the fridge where you can block time and days for certain things, or keep a family Google calendar for the whole family to track. Foster a positive mindset: Embrace challenges with a dose of gratitude and find joy in the everyday moments of motherhood. Tomorrow is a new day, even if today was hard. You have got this mamma!
