Favorite Things: Vol. VIII

Favorite Things· Life

Happy Fri-YAY to normal society!

I work Saturday this week, so today is more like a Thursday for me haha! Any other nurses out there that feel me? #thestruggle

Lately, we are trying to work hard to save money where we can, so one of the cheap meals I made was stupidly easy, but it is literally one of G’s all-time favorites. Thank goodness he is so easy to please with food!

I call it a lazy girl’s lasagna! It’s literally just a big bag of tortellini (I used Buitoni’s Spinach and Ricotta Tortellini but you could use whatever), a jar of pasta sauce of your choice, and then topped with lots of mozzarella and some parm. I cook mine at 375 for around 30 minutes or until the cheese is perfectly browned and everything is bubbly 🙂

The tortellini was probably $3, pasta sauce is like $2, and the cheese is probably $2 as well? I served with sauteed green beans so the meal was under $10 and we had PLENTY of leftovers for G to take to work the next day. I don’t think anyone would dislike this easy meal! I linked a similar “recipe” below if you like more direction 🙂

Moving on.

How pretty is this spring mani?!

The pink is PERFECT. And I’m obsessed with the flower details. Maybe one day I will forgo my usual SNS (dip powder) and get a fancy mani instead 🙂

This next fave is so dumb haha! But I’ve been giggling about it for like a week now!

Also is spelt a word? Is that a British thing? Regardless, this shirt cracked me up! I want it haha

And finally, because my letter board quotes seem to be really popular with people lately (specifically The Office ones), here is the inspirational quote that has been hanging in our living room this week.

Happy weekend all!

I use it as an opportunity to teach him about taking care of others in our community in big and little ways. This is everything we got this month! #blessingbox #foodpantry #toddlermom
🍩 2-INGREDIENT DOUGHNUTS 🍩 All you need is a can o 🍩 2-INGREDIENT DOUGHNUTS 🍩
All you need is a can of biscuit dough and oil to make the favorite breakfast of my childhood!
Once you pop open your can of biscuit dough and separate the individual biscuits, you can cut a hole in the center and GENTLY add them to oil heated to 350-375 degrees. CAREFULLY flip over once brown on one side and once both sides are perfectly golden, transfer to a paper towel lined plate to drain excess oil. 
Of course you can’t go without toppings! Our favorites are cinnamon sugar, powdered, and strawberry glazed, but you could make chocolate frosting, vanilla frosting, or even jelly filled! The possibilities are endless when the doughnuts are this easy to make 😊
My toddler absolutely loved this first day of summer treat, let me know if you try it! #toddlermom #funbreakfast #whimsy #whimsicalchildhood #recipe

Did a really simple makeover to a sad, gray bathro Did a really simple makeover to a sad, gray bathroom to make it a little more fun and colorful for my toddler! So happy with how it turned out, and it ended up being such an inexpensive facelift! Inexpensive flexible moulding for the mirror, paint, an IKEA shower curtain, and some Etsy wall art made all the difference! #toddlermom #whimsy #roommakeover #whimsicalhome #colorfulhome

Raising the shower curtain rod and sewing 2 inexpensive ikea shower curtains together definitely brought some color and funkiness into the space. And changing out the light fixture and framing off the builder grade mirror were such inexpensive upgrades that made a big difference! 
Also so happy with the fun wall art and affirmations to make getting ready in here a bit more fun! It’s a kid’s bathroom! Let it be colorful 🥰 #toddlermom #whimsy #kidsbathroom

When I became a mom, I was unprepared for the fier When I became a mom, I was unprepared for the fierce love and protectiveness I was overcome with. It was (and still is) terrifying having my heart exist outside of my body and trusting it to the world. 
Motherhood is the greatest gift and hardest job I’ve ever had. Being both a ‘forever mom’ and a foster mom has formed me into a stronger, more passionate, more empathetic, and creative version of myself. My life and work before kids felt important and meaningful, but raising kind, caring kids to impact their future communities and world feels like my most important purpose yet ❤️
