7 Essential Items for the Vegan Mama

Published by PETA Staff.

I’m a single mom. My life involves waking up at 5 a.m. just so I can drink my pony keg of coffee without my beautiful monster deliberately attempting to knock it out of my hand. I sit in the dark, reveling in the only peace and quiet that I will know all day before I have to drag my son’s defiant butt out of bed, scrape the mold off the last piece of overpriced whole-grain bread, and slather it with organic raw agave nectar, at which point it will be vehemently protested. He wanted peanut butter. I should have known.

Oh, the joys of motherhood! Yes, we love these little buggers with every carbon atom we are made of, but let’s keep it real: This is some tough work. That’s why I’ve put together a list of some awesome items that can give any mom a much-needed boost. OK, a child-free trip to the Mayan Riviera isn’t one of them, but hey, these have all made my life a wee bit easier!

Check it out:

1. An extra-comfy athletic shoe, because no matter how old our kids are, aren’t we all still trying to lose the pregnancy weight?
