Mama & Papa Herbivore's Plant-Based Thanksgiving Posted by:Lindsay S. Nixon Category: Parents Holiday

Last year my parents had their first plant-based (vegan) Thanksgiving dinner at my house (as omnivores) and loved it. They both went 100% plant-based this past January, but due to my work schedule, they couuldn't make it to my house again this year... leaving them on their own for Thanksgiving.

My parents were invited to my cousin's house (not plant-based) and brought along food they could eat and share with everyone else. At one point one of my cousins said …

Mama & Papa Herbivore are back for more! Posted by:Lindsay S. Nixon Category: Parents

My parents are back dishing up more critiques! (P.S.: I typed word-for-word as these conversations were happening.)

Mom: Oh, I'll let Daddy do that. They're his favorite.

My Mom Got a Herbie Tattoo Posted by:Lindsay S. Nixon Category: Parents

For several years now my mom's been saying she wanted to get a tattoo -- a hummingbird -- because she liked them so much. BUT every time she was visiting me, and I'd find a tattoo shop for her to get it done at (because she insisted I had to be there), she would chicken out. Even in LA, after swearing up and down she wanted to get it done at Kat Von D's shop since she watched the show …
