Hi, I’m Megan! Welcome to my blog, Hugging Trees and
Shelling Peas. I’m an animal lover, an Earth enthusiast, a hobbyist gardener, a
home chef, DIY’er and a jewelry maker. I am not a strict vegan, but since about 85% of my diet excludes meat, dairy and eggs, I love experimenting with vegan
cooking and creating my own vegan recipes. I strive to keep a green home and a
clean diet. I love to travel. I find joy in the small things and I try to have
little adventures in my daily life. When I’m not working at my day job, I like
to explore and learn. I live with my husband Brad, and our two kitties Jasmine
and Moe.
So…blogging. I am not a person who typically partakes in
social media. I’d rather be reading, trying out a new recipe or digging in my
garden than trolling around Facebook. I’ve never tweeted or instagramed and I
don’t have a clue what Tumblr does. However, I must admit to a small Pinterest
addiction. Browsing through hundreds of fabulous ideas feels to me what online
shoe shopping probably feels like to some women. I think I’m going to dig blogging.
I get to do all the things I love and then write about them. I might even
inspire someone else to try a few DIY projects or healthy recipes.
The kinds of posts you’ll find on Hugging Trees and Shelling
Peas include: healthy recipes (many are vegan), DIY projects, ideas for green
living, accounts of my big and small adventures, how to use the fresh produce from a farm share, Pinterest successes and fails, maybe some triumphs in
gardening, and definitely the occasional photo or two of my cats! So, please
follow Hugging Trees and Shelling Peas if any of these things might make you
smile!
