Getting Healthy

Hi there! You may know my site ShoeDaydreams.com, but I also write The Daily Coop. This started as a site focused on our outside family - our two rescued hens, our rooster Napoleon, Tulip and Petal, the pygmy goats, and now Jake, the Turkey who' taking care of the hens since Napoleon is gone. My husband and I became vegetarian about 18 months ago and quickly transitioned to a vegan lifestyle. I'm here to answer any questions and share the knowledge we've gained during the process. I hope to give you the confidence and inspriation you need to bring change into your life and see eating in a whole new way.
