It’s official! We are now live, here at the new site: mennoadventures.ca. There are still a few things getting uploaded and tidied up (some related to the transition and some new pieces), but the site is now ready for you to come and see what we’ve been working on for the last few months.

In addition to the basic website redesign and transition, the online store has been newly reorganized, for your browsing pleasure – and is full of countless, amazing sustainable products. Plus, there are some new items coming soon to the store – stay tuned! 😊

If you have any questions, please feel free to send a message, and I’ll get back to you as soon as possible. Happy browsing!

In case you missed it in the earlier post, here are the transition details and notes, below.

…………………………………..

After a great deal of work, (mostly by my amazing designer!) I am pleased to let you know that we are now live at the new domain name! There are still a few details being worked out, but we are up and running! 😊

The next post will be from the new website, but there are a few details that I wanted to share with you first, so that nobody gets lost in the transition.

Here is what you need to know:

  1. Please change your bookmarks etc to the new website: https://mennoadventures.ca
  2. If you subscribe via social media, everything should have switched over to the new website. If you have any problems, either try subscribing again – or contact me if you are having trouble.
  3. If you subscribe via email, you may have received an email to confirm that you want to stay subscribed at the new domain name. (Had a few tech challenges with this piece – which is why there are a few variables here). If you did, please confirm that way. If you did not get a confirmation email (or it got lost in cyberspace), please go to the new website and re-enter your email address to subscribe again.  Thank you!
  4. If you follow directly via wordpress, I believe that you will need to follow again from the new website. (Still working on that piece.) Again, if you have any trouble,  please let me know.
  5. The old website will stay active for a little while yet, to redirect people to the new website, until the transition is fully complete.

Over the next few days, hopefully most of these transition details will be finished, and we will be ready to go on the new site. Other updates will hopefully be coming, down the road, in the next few months.

If you have any questions, comments or feedback on the new website, please let me know using the contact form, and I will get back to you as soon as possible! Thank you all for your support so far! Hope to see you at the new website soon! 😊

MennoAdventures is now on Instagram! :)

As the website update continues, new pieces are being added every day – and I am pleased to let you know that the Instagram page (search for MennoAdventures, if you are having trouble with the link) is now up and running! A few details still need to be sorted out on the tech side, but we are there – and I would love to see you there, as well!

There are now 3 ways to stay connected with MennoAdventures – the website (hint: don’t forget to sign up for newsletter updates), Facebook, and Instagram (I would love it if you would please follow me :)). Questions? Just ask me and I’ll do my best to help you out.

There are still a few more pieces to come for the website – including changes to a few pages, possibly some new online store options, and a custom domain – hopefully coming by January! Happy Wednesday!

Veganuary – And New Coaching Sessions For 2021 🥑🥙🥕

………………

HINT: There are countless great deals to be found in the online store on all things sustainable! Check out all of the options by clicking on each page in the store! Happy browsing! 🙂

Veganuary is coming up soon – and so are new coaching sessions to help guide your switch to plant-based eating! Have you heard about Veganuary? Started in the UK, it’s a movement of people committed to starting the year off on a fully plant-based diet – with the option to continue longer, if desired.

If this is the year that you might be thinking of making a switch, you might also be wondering how to do it. You might have questions like?

  • Does this mean I have to give up cheese or pizza?
  • Will I have to stop eating my favourite foods?
  • Is it hard to do? How do I substitute out commonly used items?
  • Why should I consider a whole foods, plant-based diet? What are the health and environmental benefits?
  • What would I eat if I made the switch?
  • Do I have to switch all at once or can I make gradual changes?

Looking for some help and guidance?* That’s what I am here for – to answer all of your questions, and help you navigate this change. With a bit of guidance, from someone who has made the switch already, this can easily be turned from something that may feel a bit overwhelming, to an exciting – and even cost-saving – new adventure!

New coaching packages for 2021 are currently being put together – so stay tuned and watch the website for details. Interested in learning more? Send me a message and I’ll get back to you as soon as possible! 😊

*NOTE: I provide general guidance and help answer questions about plant-based diets. I am not a certified nutritionist, and any questions regarding your specific health concerns should be directed to your nutritionist or other health care provider. Thank you!

Website (Phase 1) and Online Store Updates

Hi all!

Things are moving along here! Phase one of the website redesign is almost done! The basic design is up, and most pages are in place, including a new and improved online store. The logo and a few other things (including some images etc) are still missing or waiting to be updated, but they will be in place soon, hopefully. Phase 2 (coming at some point, TBD) is expected to include a custom domain name and some other changes. Stay tuned!

Also, the amazing partners in the online store have far too many sustainable items to list here – and many of them have seasonal promotions going on. Whatever you are looking for – from clothes to zero waste kitchen items, laundry detergent or phone cases, the store has it! Check it out – you may even find things that you didn’t know you were looking for. 🙂

In the meantime, I would love it if you check it out and share in your circles, and sign up for updates, if you aren’t already. Have a great day! 🙂

Website Update Has Begun! (And there are lots of great deals in the online store! :))

Hi all,

As I mentioned earlier, a number of website updates are taking place – and you may notice some changes over the next days/weeks, as various changes are put into place. This process will likely culminate with a new domain name, but those details are still being worked out.

In the meantime, I want to note that a couple of test pages, with incomplete text or filler/test text, went live without an “in construction” note at the top of the page. I apologize for any confusion this may have caused. Hopefully that will be remedied today or tomorrow.

For now, please continue to come over and see what’s happening! We’re doing out best to minimize disruptions as we build the new system. While pages may look different, all of the content is still there, and the online store is bursting with deals to help you live and purchase thoughtfully and sustainably, throughout the holiday season and beyond. 🙂

If you have questions or comments on the new system, please use the contact form to get in touch. I’ll do my best to reply as quickly as possible. Have a great weekend!

Sustainable Holiday Shopping – And a New and Improved Website Experience (Coming Soon!)

Canadian Federal 2021 single-use plastic ban includes grocery bags, takeout containers

NOTE: This website is continuing to refuse to pay for advertising on Facebook until they improve their practices. Please help by sharing widely in your circles, and encouraging others to check out the website and sign up for newsletter updates. Thank you! 🙂

CBC

Details are emerging regarding the Canadian federal government’s upcoming ban on single use plastics. While a great deal of work remains to be done, this is one small step in the right direction. What we know at this point is that the ban will includes the following items.

CBC

Even before this announcement, many people had already begun switching away from these types of items. This switch will make it even easier to avoid single use waste at a national level, for everyone!

Have you started switching to zero waste products already? Thought about it but haven’t made the change? Well on your way to a zero waste living? Where ever we are at now (individually and collectively), chances are that this new regulation will impact all of us in some way, and will help create positive changes for the country and the environment.

Ready to make changes? The Menno Adventures online store has lots of options to help you live more sustainably. Whatever you are looking for, we have it:

New items are on their way. Stay tuned for more details soon!
