I have always been drawn to volunteering and helping out and being involved in my community.
As a teenager, i was involved in volunteering at the local youth radio station as a radio announcer (and yes it was a main radio station listened to across mid North Coast region of NSW). Around this age I also did a number of car washes.
Moving into my early 20's and working in law firms, I was always a volunteer fire warden in the city buildings I worked in. Too many times leading people in fire drills down 34 + levels of fire stairs! 🥵
In more recent years with having children, I volunteered to cater events for Australian breastfeeding association.
Now I volunteer as secretary on the committee for Belmont Scout group as well as parent helper.
2 weeks ago was national volunteer week across Australia! I was very humbled and thankful to receive this certificate and recognition for the work I do as a volunteer!
Have you done any volunteer work? So many things in our communities wouldnt run without the help of volunteers!

Have you ever wondered whether you can get protein from plants or can you only get your protein needs from meat?
Carnivore is a popular diet right now, but it's definitely not for everyone.
You don't have to eat animal forms of protein to get your protein needs.
Have a read of my article about plant proteins and how you can combine them to get the essential amino acids that you need.
Do you know which plants are a complete protein? In that they contain all the essential amino acids on their own?

Today is World Bee Day!
My husband, Brad and I are still keeping bees, but the last 12 months has been tough for beekeepers in South East Qld. We have had a number of swarms and a loss of a hive to hive beetle. We haven't experienced so many back-to-back issues in our 6 years of beekeeping.
This makes you appreciate even further the importance of these amazing creatures and how important they are to not only provide us with beautiful honey, but also to keep our food system alive.
Without bees we won't have plants and food. What can you do to help bees this World Bee Day?
Plant some bee friendly flowers eg lavender or sunflowers (both can grow in most of Eastern Australia), leave out a shallow dish of water with some stones, avoid spraying your garden with pesticides and support bee keepers who really care about their bees and not just wanting to profit from honey.
What do you do to help our bee communities?

Anyone else a Michael fan? Anyone going or been?
