I did it again. Vegetarian savoury "mince". I just made it up on the fly at 16:30 today. Now I know that it's a winner I'll record a "cook with me" video . . . . . #veggiemeal #vegetarian #meatfree #meatfreemay #meatfreealways #nomoremeatforme #easycooking #easymeals #easyvegetarianmeals #eatveggies #eatvegetarian #lifeoutofthefastlane #lootfl #lovemynewlifestyle #electricpressurecooker #russelhobbs

Do you have a closet that is disused? It's full but full of what? Trash? Unused items? Supplies you don't need daily but often enough that you want them easily accessible? That's this closet in our bedroom. But it was a jumbled mess. I'm working on it today. . . . . . #lifeoutofthefastlane #lootfl #organizing #organizeyourlife #organizeyourcloset #getsorted #purge #nomorejunk #nomoremess #everythinginorder #cleanit #cleanitup #cleanupyouract

Strategically edited out some of the #fabricmail because it's for a special gift.

Can you tell it's been a quiet week? Rain and cold in Jhb means lots of Netflix and chill (literally).... . . . . . . #designyourlife #nothingisordinary #theartofslowliving #aquietstyle #chasinglight #liveunscripted #myunicornlife #thehappynow #unschooling #unschoolersofinstagram #unschoolinglife #unschool #liveyourbestlife #itsyourlifeliveit #itsyourlife #lifeoutofthefastlane #lootfl #slowdown #alifeworthliving #alifeworthloving #lifeisforliving #weareunschoolers #weloveourlife #enjoythejourney #deschooling

Three years ago as you lay in the same position, hours old, I was bleeding out, internally. Giving you life nearly ended mine. We knew the risks and did it anyway. . . . #csection #csectionawareness #hysterectomy #childbirth #lastchild #number3 #lastbaby #lifeoutofthefastlane #lootfl

Today is #internationalbereavedmothersday spare a thought for the mothers who have children who now only #liveintheirheart I have 3 who #liveinmyheart and no longer walk beside me (or, let's be honest, run ahead of me). I am grateful everyday for my #3kids that keep me on my toes everyday but that doesn't mean that I don't remember their three siblings that are no longer here. Let a #bereavedmother know that you're thinking of her today. . . . . . #mychilddidexist #lifeoutofthefastlane #lootfl #bereaved #bereavement #bereavedparents #miscarriage #babyloss #sids #gonebutneverforgotten #iwillloveyoualways #iwillloveyouforever #youareloved #youdidexist #handprintsinmyheart #alwaysyourmom

Ima just gonna leave this here for the haters who think homeschooled kids are missing out 🙄 Yes this is controversial. I'm sure you believe there's absolutely NO drugs and NO bullying at your own school. But this is a truth bomb. And if you don't like it imagine how homeschoolers feel when you tell us that our kids won't be "socialized".
