Improvising a Recipe for Sanity this School Year, with a Sprinkle of Bravery Artwork

Vegan Fam In Cow Town

Let's talk about how to raise vegan kids and empower vegan families in a world that is far from plant-based, especially in our piece of the Mid-West. How do we navigate parties, daycare and school, the pediatrician's office, and travel? How do we express our beliefs about vegan family life in a culture that takes kids to the zoo and where even the pumpkin patches feature exploited animals? It's easy...with this vegan fam pod! We have decades of experience being vegans and raising vegans, even when the in-laws don't like it. Everyone is welcome, vegan or not, and we welcome parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and everyone. Tune in, suggest topics, and share in fam life to the power of V!

Improvising a Recipe for Sanity this School Year, with a Sprinkle of Bravery

August 14, 2020 • Vegan Fam In Cow Town • Season 2 • Episode 1

The return of school this year promises that our kids will be home at unexpected times for undefined periods. What do we do with this time? What if online learning doesn't work for my kid/my family? I give you suggestions from my experience as a teacher and as a home schooling mom to help you through. We have the cool bonus of being a vegan family, too, so I tell you how we weave respect for animals and the natural world into our days.

As promised, here are resources I talked about in the episode:
The Brave Learner, by Julie Bogart (not a vegan! she has a cool philosophy but uses animals in ways I would never)
