2 8 W E E K S | here we are at 28 weeks again and officially in my third trimester. The first image is me with this baby and the second image was me at 28 weeks with Rowan. To be honest I don’t think there is too much difference in the bumps, not that it matters. The midwife said it was measuring small at my appointment today but I’m not being sent for a growth scan as it is still within the acceptable limits which is great so I’m not worrying about it. The second trimester really seemed to last a long time but I’m sure this third trimester will fly by and our baby will be here before we know it!! There are two very different things about these photos though, the one of this baby was taken before I did Rowan’s bedtime and spent 2.5 hours trying to get him to go to sleep, the other was taken after a pregnancy yoga class where I then spent a relaxing evening. Pregnancy is very different second time round!! . . . . . . . . . #28weekspregnant #pregnant #pregnancy #bumpwatch #mum #mumlife #baby #pregnancystyle #pregnantlife #pregnantlifestyle #2under2 #twoundertwo #pregnancyjourney #pregnancyphotos #babynumber2 #autumnbaby #thirdtrimester #edinburghbloggers #scottishbloggers #eastlothian #eastlothianlife

G R A P E S | the first grapes from our grape vine are now ready! It’s wonderful knowing that we are not going to have to buy grapes again until the autumn. Rowan has also discovered that if he climbs onto the window sill he can reach the lowest hanging bunches. We definitely don’t have as many as last year which is a shame but I think we were a bit late with cutting it back so this year we will cut it back in October. It is wonderful with every month taking another fruit or vegetable off the shopping list as our homegrown ones ripen and grow! We are only beginners but loving growing our fruit and vegetables!!! . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #grapes #scottishgrapes #grapevine #homegrown #growyourown #gardening #sustainable #sustainableliving #greenfingered #slowliving #scotland #scottishgardening #gardenlife #homegrownfood #vegan #vegetarian #ethicalinfluencer #reducefoodmiles #localproduce #foodmiles #eastlothian #eastlothianlife #eastlothianfoodanddrink #seasonal #seasonalfood #grapeharvest #harvest #glut #delicious #food

P A N C A K E S | Antony hasn’t been home on a Tuesday morning since April so I thought I would treat my boys to pancakes this morning. We started with melon then went into pancakes. Rowan absolutely loved them, ate five and then gave me a round of applause which was so wonderful! I felt very motherly! This morning has truely felt like all of the things you imagine becoming a parent will be, filled with love, wonderful family time and fun. Don’t worry not every morning feels like this! Rowan is now in the garden playing and Antony is working from home. Next week things go back to normal so we are making the most of this week! . . . . . . . . . . #pancakes #breakfast #pancakebreakfast #baking #family #love #familytime #slowliving #gentleparenting #maplesyrup #coffee #familylife #familybreakfast #happytuesday #happy #motherly #foodandflatlay #mycommontable #ceramics #sustainableliving #sustainablelifestyle #mum #motherhood #rarepeacefulmorning #peacefulmorning #vegetarian #eastlothianlife #pregnant #pregnancy #foodstyling

S U M M E R B R O T H | after a week of being far too hot, not wanting to eat anything in the heat the rain this weekend has been a welcome relief. This evening the sun has come through though everything is smelling and looking wonderful. I made a simple summer broth with runner beans, courgettes and puy lentils which we had with our homegrown roasted beetroot and carrots and homemade bread. It was really simple and being able to harvest our own vegetables is amazing. Homegrown vegetables taste incredible and we have lots of beetroots, carrots, courgettes, tomatoes and salads to come!! . . . . . . . . . . . . . #vegan #homegrown #growyourown #growyourownfood #growyourownveggies #seasonal #summerfood #veganfood #seasonalfood #homemade #homecook #vegetarian #vegetarianfamily #foodandflatlay #mycommontable #kitchentable #localproduce #foodblogger #foodblog #foodstylist #foodstyling #organicfood #organic #sustainableliving #slowliving #delicious #vegandinner #scottishbloggers #edinburghbloggers #familyfood

V E G A N B A N A N A B R E A D | I know it is hot and so cake isn’t the top of everyone’s priorities however it is very windy with us in East Lothian plus I love baking with Rowan so it is a great activity for us to do to start the week. With us being vegan most of the time now I thought I would make my first vegan banana bread as we had all of the ingredients in the house. It is amazing, you wouldn’t know it was vegan and was incredibly easy to make. The texture is lovely and it’s going to be hard to resist eating it all today! It is also a great snack to take out on picnics which is perfect for the weather we are having so I take it back, there is definitely a place for cake in sunny weather! . . . . . . . . . . #bananabread #veganbananabread #veganbaking #cakesofinstagram #baking #vegancake #bananacake #foodandflatlay #mycommontable #cake #homebaking #homebaker #vegan #vegetarian #foodblog #foodbogger #foodphotographer #foodstylist #foodstyling #scottishbloggers #eastlothianfoodanddrink #eastlothian #bakingwithtoddlers #delicious #feedfeed #f52grams #pregnancy #pregnancyfood #cakelove #sweettreats

S U S T A I N A B L E F A S H I O N | I am so glad that the sustainable fashion revolution is finally happening. I have always bought clothes from sustainable brands and I’m happy to say I have never stepped foot in primark! That doesn’t mean I have lots of money to spend on clothes but I try to buy key pieces that I know will last for years. It does shock me sometimes when I put a piece of clothing on and try to remember when I bought it (usually about 10 years ago!). Maternity fashion can be really difficult to find sustainable, beautiful, timeless pieces that can be worn beyond maternity. I hate having to buy things that I know I will only wear for a few months. When I discovered @_artandjoy_ I just had to treat myself to a new dress. Made from sustainable organic cotton and made in Bristol this small independent company have beautiful pieces that are suitable for maternity, breastfeeding and beyond. I love this dress and no this is not an add, just me sharing my love for a great brand! It’s not very often I get five minutes to myself. Antony works away and I am a part time working mum with no childcare. This morning however Antony has taken Rowan out for a drive to get him to nap so I have some time to myself before they get back. . . . . . . . . . . #maternity #maternityfashion #sustainablefashion #sustainable #organiccotton #maternitystyle #pregnancy #pregnancystyle #26weekspregnant #fashion #ethicalinfluencers #ethicalinfluencer #ethicalshopping #ceramics #dresses #pregnancyclothes #pregnancystyle #pregnancyfashion #supportsmallbusiness #mumlife #sustainableparenting #britishfashion #slowliving #enjoyeverymoment #scottishbloggers #edinburghbloggers #greenliving #sustainablelifestyle #wanderlust #hygge

S I M P L E D I N N E R S | as much as I love cooking, quick, easy and delicious meals are definitely my favourite at the moment! Antony works away three days a week so making meals which don’t require much effort are great on those days so I can keep Rowan happy while cooking without having to constantly rely on tv. This is roasted sweet potatoes and beans in cinnamon, ginger and cumin with a peanut dressing from @deliciouslyella (I added the beans) served with brown rice and homegrown salad and peas. Rowan ate the sweet potato without the dressing and loved it, ate a bite from each bean, half of the peas and wouldn’t touch the rice. He has since had a banana, half a wheetabix and a handful of raisins. I was thinking about starting a “what Rowan actually ate” series as there are so many accounts filled with amazing looking meals for toddlers but honestly how many actually eat it? I always put the same as what we are eating in front of Rowan. I know he won’t eat all of it (or any of it sometimes) but it’s important to show him what we eat and then fill him up ready for bed after we have eaten. Do babyled weaning accounts seem unrealistic to you too? . . . . . . . . . . . . #delicious #deliciouslyella #sweetpotatobowl #sweetpotato #peanutbutter #salad #homegrown #peas #growyourown #growyourownfood #sustainable #sustainableliving #vegan #plantbased #wholefoodsplantbased #toddlerfood #feedingtoddlers #babyledweaning #ceramics #organic #expectations #foodblogger #foodstylist #foodstyling #foodphotography #foodphotographer #vegetarian #vegetarianfamily #healthy #healthyfood

Pudding or breakfast? This could really be either but I made it for pudding today. It is a blackcurrant, chia and pistachio pudding topped with coconut yoghurt. We planted two blackcurrant bushes this year in the hope that we would be able to just have homegrown ones this year. However currently there is one blackcurrant and I am not convinced we are going to get anymore 😂 fingers crossed they grow better next year. To make this I slowed heated some blackcurrant with a splash of water, 1 tsp maple syrup (to take away the tartness but you can add more if you like it sweeter!) and 1 tbsp chia seeds. Once the blackcurrants have broken down take off the heat and leave to cool. Then take four dates and mash them with a fork, add chopped pistachios and mix. Finally place the blackcurrant chia pudding in the bottom of a jar, then a layer of the pistachio and date mix, top with yoghurt and then I added a sprinkling of nutmeg and cacao nibs. Super easy, really delicious summer pudding! But you could make it and place the lid on the jar, put it in the fridge and have it for breakfast too! Sadly I don’t have enough left over for this! It’s really easy to adapt for different soft fruits too. I’m already dreaming up a banoffee version! . . . . . . . . . . . . . #vegandessert #veganbreakfast #vegan #plantbased #plantbaseddiet #blackcurrant #chiapudding #chiaseeds #cacaonibs #coconut #coconutyoghurt #jar #pistachio #dates #pregnant #pregnancy #healthypregnancy #pregnancyfood #vegetarian #healthy #delicious #f52grams #dessert #pudding #sweet #treat #refinedsugarfree #foodblogger #foodstyling #sustainableliving

R O A S T S T R A W B E R R I E S | on cooler summer days there is nothing nicer than a summery warming pudding. Rice pudding with roast strawberries is one of my favourite go to summer puddings. I make mine with coconut milk, vanilla and a touch of nutmeg, you can add maple syrup for an extra bit of sweetness but I don’t think it needs it. I then top it with strawberries that have been roasted in some vanilla and pistachio nuts for crunch and colour. With Antony being away this week and Rowan deciding that rice pudding is not acceptable (even though it is the same as his porridge!) I have lots left over for breakfasts this week 😊 . . . . . . . . . #dessert #vegan #vegandessert #vegandesserts #vegetarian #strawberry #strawberries #ricepudding #refinedsugarfree #glutenfree #vegetarianfamily #pregnancy #pregnancyfood #summerfood #summerpudding #healthyfood #healthyrecipes #pistachio #foodblogger #foodblog #foodstylist #foodstyling #foodphotographer #scottishbloggers #edinburghbloggers #wholefoodplantbased #plantbased #mycommontable #sustainablefood #slowliving
