It’s a bite-sized chunk shy of 3 am. Kai’s been pinwheeling and cartwheeling around the bed since the clock’s hands were together as one at midnight. No crying. Just queen-sized bed Olympics.

A Gentle Place was not set up to be a vegan blog. There are already plenty of those out there. They inspire me, educate me, challenge me, support me, nourish me - just last night we had guests over for dinner: Moroccan vegan meal prepared by Sue and Vegan Black Bean Brownies prepared by your [...]
