Whenever I want to teach my kids an important value or lesson, I often look to a book to spark the conversation. For me, stories are the best way to reach and engage with children in a way that’s both fun and impactful. This is why I’m super excited to share a book my cousin recently published entitled “We’re All Earthlings.” I love this book because it emphasizes the connectedness of all living things and ties into the low impact journey we are on. My kids know we try our best to avoid single use plastic, we shouldn’t buy things we don’t need, and that eating mostly plant-based is the healthiest and more sustainable choice for the environment. This book really helped me frame how our everyday actions impact other Earthlings around us and why we should care about their wellbeing too. What are your favorite children’s books that inspire awareness and compassion for our planet and its inhabitants? . . . . . . . . . . . . #simplelife #lifestyleblogger #sustainablelifestyle #muslimblogger #wastefree #sustainableliving #sustainability #bethechange #ecofriendly #ecofriendlyproducts #ecofriendlyliving #simpleliving #simplelifestyle #plasticfree #wastefreeliving #lowimpactliving #lowwasteliving #childhoodmemories #childhoodunplugged #motherhood #momblogger #documentyourdays #childrensbooks #readingtime #cameramama

Vegan Lox -carrot shavings -juice of 1 lemon -splash of liquid smoke -drizzle of olive oil -pinch of sea salt -fresh dill optional . I have no time to experiment and offer specific measurements but this kind of recipe is pretty hard to mess up (just don’t overdo it with the liquid smoke). I’ve tried vegan lox recipes that make you roast the carrots but I found that way too time consuming so I decided to modify. I simply peel fresh carrots, pour boiling water over them for 1 minute, drain, and then marinade in the ingredients above. It’s way easier to peel, there’s no need to waste time and oven energy for a few carrots, and I prefer a little bite to my carrot. My favorite way to eat this is on toast or a baguette with mashed avocado, basil, tomato, and red onions 🥖 . . . . . . . . #food #foodie #foodblogger #foodphotography #foodstyling #huffposttaste #buzzfeast #thekitchn #flatlayfood #inmykitchen #foodstagram #foodstyle #foodjournal #foodblog #vegan #healthyfood #cleanfood #cleaneating #meatlessmonday #plantbased #veganrecipes #sustainableliving #healthyeating #lowwasteliving #lowwastelifestyle

It’s a shame in this day and age that so many people are dying from hunger while we are throwing perfectly good food away. Rescuing “last chance” bananas from ending up in a landfill is one of my new favorite things to do 🦸🏻‍♀️ (thanks @sustainable.suburbs for the inspiration). My local Kroger has a shelf for undesirable produce (which are perfectly edible) and bananas happen to be a regular. I use these bananas for smoothies, banana breads, oatmeal, and pancakes. Do you buy “last chance” produce? If not, why? . . . . . . . . #sustainableliving #healthyeating #lowwastelifestyle #lowwastejourney #mindfulhome #mindfulhomekeeping #zerowaste #zerowasteliving #lowwaste #simplelife #lifestyleblogger #sustainablelifestyle #muslimblogger #naturalhome #wastefree #sustainability #bethechange #ecofriendly #ecofriendlyliving #simpleliving #simplelifestyle #wastefreeliving #lowimpactliving #lowwasteliving #lowwaste #wastefreeplanet #fightfoodwaste #foodwaste
