Our 7-day ultimate Vegan challenge

Latest posts
On Tuesday 20th April 2021, we decided to challenge ourselves to eat only vegan food for seven days. How did we get on? Read more... WHY? For some time now we've both been moaning about our diet but haven't done anything about it. We've become conscious that if Ollie is going to eat healthily then we need to do the same.

We’ve launched an exciting new Podcast!

Latest posts, Podcast
During lockdown with nowhere to go and not so much to do (apart from being parents to Ollie), we decided to start a podcast! WHY? We've got a little YouTube channel and thought for a while about interviewing Ali's sister, Ellie. Ellie has made some bold moves in life and we thought it would be fun to get her to talk about her experiences. We took the plunge and really enjoyed the discussion with her. That led to us getting the idea to create a podcast! WHAT'S IT CALLED? We decided to call our podcast 'Living Life Differently'. This was a motto that we spoke about for ourselves a few years ago. Fed up with living in the rat race, we decided that we needed more adventure in our lives…
