Veggie Fueled Mama
My life as a mom raising vegan kids in the non-vegan Midwest
Welcome to Veggie Fueled Mama, my very own passion project: raising vegan children in a non-vegan town. Explore my site and all that I have to offer; perhaps Veggie Fueled Mama will ignite your own passions as well.

About The Blog
Truth be told, this blog was inspired by conversations with friends. I was inspired to document my journey as an older new mom, raising vegan kids in a very non-vegan world. I knew I would get and have questions, and I wanted a platform to share the answers for others who might be going through the same thing.
My goal is to share my experiences with authenticity and humor. I hope you enjoy it!
