Hi! I’m Megan and I’m so excited that you are here.

I’m a mom of two, passionate about plant-based nutrition and learning how to live more intentionally and present in the midwest. I’m certified in Plant-Based Nutrition and decided to use that knowledge to empower, encourage, and celebrate families who want to eat more plant-based foods.
I work full-time outside of the home but truly love the world of blogging. When I’m not working I love to be outside (when warm) with my boys and husband, work on our produce garden, dance, relax, or simply enjoy nature. But most of all, I truly LOVE being a mom.
I started this blog to share what I’ve learned about nutrition but also to encourage those who are on the fence that you don’t have to be perfect when it comes to adopting a new way of living. Many people I’ve talked to over the years expressed concern of “doing it wrong” so they avoided making any changes towards eating more plant-based.
It’s my hope that with this blog I can encourage and support people who want to start eating more plant-based. As you explore the site you’ll see I write about more than nutrition and that’s because there is so much more to our life than food but they all work together to create a beautiful, vibrant, and healthy life.

Me and my family are so excited that you are here to explore plant-based living with us!
