How Sweet It Is To Be Loved By Carter

When Carter got off the school bus, he had his hand in his vest as if he were hiding something. From his adorable smiling face I knew it must be innocent and then he told me to wait til we get to the door because he has a surprise for me.

From his vest, he pulled out this flower and said with much enthusiasm and excitement "Mum! I found this for you at school!"

Judging by the root, I'm guessing he found it in the garden at school... still growing!!

Nevertheless, how sweet it is to be loved by him!

World Vegetarian Day on the Twitterverse

When @granvillemag in Vancouver asked which of their followers were vegetarian, I replied. Then they posted some of my @jennjam tweets on their blog! Pretty cool.... read about it here.

It's World Vegetarian Day!

Although this is something my family takes part in DAILY, it's nice to have a specific day where we can celebrate and create some awareness around animal cruelty and take pride in how we contribute to this Earth. My sister and I grew up on a vegetarian diet and I have been raising my boys vegetarian since birth as well. Happy World Vegetarian Day to my fellow Vegetarians and Vegan friends! Conceited or not, the world is a better place because of us!

Do Not Support The Circus

There is some pretty amazing info on the PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) website but also some disturbing material. I find it extremely difficult to watch some of these videos. I cringe as I do but we must create awareness on these issues for change to happen. See for yourself here.
