November started with Kevin and I attending a Wholefood Plant Based cooking class with Adam Guthrie of I Feel Good. Such an amazing class and I’m excited to also take the online version when its released.

I had my first grocery delivery. Got 3 for free so it was a great way to try it out.

I finally got a diagnosis of Fibromyaglia (after almost a year of tests).

In the Kitchen (October)

We started trying to eat a more plant based diet, which has meant buying lots of fruit and veggies.

While most weekdays I enjoy a homemade salad, it’s nice to sometimes have takeaway.

Athena made a Halloween Brownie cake for dessert with friends.

And made me my first ever sushi. Actually she made us a virtual bento box (miso soup & salad in background). It was SOOOO good.

There were two trips to Costco, which made for a very cluttered kitchen while I filmed my grocery hauls.

Athena was something to do with a band/music video and Christy wore the same costume to go trick or treating in.

You can watch the vlog to see more of the fun.

It’s always fun to decorate the house for Halloween. This cute fella was a gift from a friend.

And on Halloween night I love to light all the candles.

Here’s my Halloween House Tour

Athena and her friends helped put together some lolly bags to hand out on Halloween night. They worked so well and we’ll definitely do it again next year

And of course it’s always good to watch Hocus Pocus.

Athena (& friends) decided they were too old to go trick or treating but Christy and her friends headed out.
