Veggie Mama

Veggie Mama is a sass-mouthed repository of awesome recipes, cool crafts, sustainability tips and random movie quotes. It is where I share what I feed my veggie kids, my musings on motherhood and the finer points of wearing a home-crocheted beret. If I can't make your broccoli taste incredible... well then, your broccoli will still taste like crap

Even if He Does Not Hit You... It is Still Abuse

“Are you ok?” A concerned stranger’s face appeared beside my boyfriend’s irate one. “Yes,” I sigh, as I get cut off by Irate Boyfriend. “She’s my fiancé,” he sputters, as if that excused his behaviour. I don’t remember what happened next,...

Not Letting Her Run With a Fork and Other Toddler Crimes

It is official. According to my daughter, I am the Worst. Mother. Ever. I do things that make her scream. Things that make her arch her back, kick her legs and wail like all the most unjust things that could ever happen to a kid just happened to her, all at once. I do things that make her run from...

Enough with the oversharing already

I like the internet, I really do. It brings me funny things like orb cats and witty memes and Mitt Romney doing stupid things. But, I’m sorry to say, it also brings me That Which I Wish I Did Not See Just Now. This week alone I’ve been subjected to a picture of a sloppy toddler poo on...

Here's to making it through your child's early years in one piece

The little padded tunnel at the playcentre was finally free. I directed my toddler to it, just as a boy of about five sprinted over and launched himself into it from the other end. As I took my daughter’s hand to lead her to another toy, the little boy looked me dead in the eye and kicked her...

Dear baby - hurry up!

You’ve been hanging around for almost a week now, taunting me with your cruel ways, and I for one have had enough of it. You show up just before bed, giving me false hope that labour will start at some point during the night, as contractions get closer together. You then disappear and I fall...

Why can't I accept help?

Recently my husband needed to use my car, so organised his mother to give me a ride to where I needed to go that day. And I was scandalised – why on Earth should this woman go out of her way to ferry me around? She had work, she’s a busy woman, why should she interrupt her day to get me...

The most useless parenting advice ever.

In a matter of weeks, I will be the proud owner of a brand-new bundle of joy. And in preparation, even though it’s not my first time on this merry-go-round, I’ve been reading up on what to expect. I have a wonderful collection of very, very dated books on cooking, homemaking, mothering...

How did I end up with an iToddler?

My kid knows how to swipe on my iPhone. She also knows to press the Home button to light up the screen. She is 15 months old. I seemingly have gone from a mother who was all "no TV until she's two, according to salient research!" to "who in the world taught her to efficiently...

How I became the ninja assassin of supermarket shopping

I used to love grocery shopping. I loved wandering the aisles, mulling over the products and musing about food. I would take my time, thinking up new ways to use produce and being inspired with new recipes. Not any more. Now I'm the ninja assassin of supermarket shopping. I have a detailed...

How many is too many. Or even enough?

Is anyone ever really sure about the answer to this? It seems you can either go with your heart or your head, and rarely the twain shall meet. I have a 15-month-old daughter, and am 7 months pregnant with my second. My head, and my heart mostly say that’s enough. But a chubby cheek resting...
