We had a great (and HOT) time in the sunshine last weekend meeting people at the 2013 Tampa Bay Veg Fest! Some of the Barefoot Family Folks are long-time vegetarians (almost 20 years now for Mary Catherine! Oldie!) and all of us recognize the benefits of eating lots of plants during pregnancy and beyond so it was really nice to connect with families who are living consciously and to have a chance to sample all the delicious fare from local vegetarian restaurants.

Our handouts on healthy eating for vegans and vegetarians during pregnancy got picked up quickly, so we thought we'd share the information here for anyone who is wondering if it's okay to stick with your animal-free diet while you're growing a tiny human. It totally is! We've got three healthy vegetarian Barefoot Kiddos between us to show for it!
