I would start out by saying hello to everyone, but since this blog is so new like today new I am almost sure I am writing to thin air right now, But just in case someone is reading this then I say hello to you and hope you don't find this post too boring.
My name is Yvonne, I am a mother of four wonderful children and a stay at home wife.
A few days ago precisely on Saturday, August 30, 2014, I had decided to make a life change, a dramatic one at that. I decided to go vegan, I had been thinking about it for a few months or so but couldn't bring myself to it. I wasn't sure if this change was something I really wanted or something I could follow through with. Meat is our main dish almost every night and God knows I love a mean hamburger, But I started thinking about my health and thought I would benefit from this change in so many ways. Saturday morning I figured I would search the internet on how to be a vegetarian and how hard it is to make this change. I came across this video about animals that are raised to be slaughtered or reproduce being tortured almost their entire life and most of these poor animals never get to see the sunlight until the day they are to be transported for slaughtering. I won't go into full details on this matter right now, but watching that video was enough to make my mind up and I don't think I will be looking back.
My second oldest son (10 years of age) has decided to take on this change with me since he has never really cared for eating meat, this was an easy decision for him. For the rest of our family, they will still be eating meat. Who knows, maybe one day they may change their minds as well.
I have decided to make this blog about our new journey as vegans and share it with the world. We are still so new to this and are open to advice, suggestions, recipes or whatever. I am so excited about our new life as vegans and will keep posting on a regular basis about our progress.
