A blog by a witchy book lover that loves to rant about politics and diet culture
This post is an entry for the BritMums #HealthyRedMeat, sponsored by the Meat Advisory Panel. Our go to meat is usually chicken as it's a firm family favourite however we do also enjoy red meat from time to time too. Working with Britmums and the Meat Advisory Panel I was provided with a £10 voucher to go and grab some read meat and get cooking.

I wouldn't say I'm an advocate for breastfeeding. In fact I have hardly talked about my early day parenting struggles on the blog because I didn't really think anyone would care but I've read countless amount of stories about breastfeeding recently with it being National Breastfeeding Week.
