The pandemic-proof journey to sustainable eating
By Cathy Delhanty
Just before the Corona-disaster hit, Delft Mamas published our family’s plan to sustainable eating. How has our plan held up under stress? How do we deal with grocery stores selling out due to panic shopping, while at the same time we want to stay home as much as possible during the lock-down?

The Journey to Sustainable Eating

The house electricity is on 100% wind-power and we keep the temperature low enough that everyone needs to wear a sweater and put a blanket over their laps on the couch.

I’m Marjolijn, voluntary swimming instructor at swimming club d’ELFT and mother of 2 boys. Because I know how challenging living abroad can be, I am a member of DelftMaMa.

The not-so-merry-and-bright side of the holiday season: The holiday blues
As the holiday season approaches, it’s important to know that it’s alright if you’re not feeling the joy that you’re “supposed to”.

Read on to see what you can do to help relieve those holiday blues.
