You know my local supermarket that I go to every day to get my veggies, soy milk & vegan sweets… they have a sale on at the moment and a big sign announcing it…. gross….

Mike Brady of Baby Milk Action has a new post full of information about Wysoy infant formula. As a vegan, whether to use cow or soy based formula if breastfeeding didn’t work for us was something myself and hubbie thought about a lot.

I just read a great review by Mending Mumma of “Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World” by Isa Chandra Moskowitz of Post Punk Kitchen fame.
