Favorite Things: Vol. XX

Favorite Things

Happy Saturday! I was a tad busy yesterday, and didn’t have time to put some finishing touches on this “Favorite Things” post in order to get it posted on Friday like I normally do. Hopefully next week, I will be more on top of things 😉

After a week of actually warm weather, it is getting cold again here in Charlotte 🙁 Apparently there is even a forecast of snow (which you know I’m definitely not happy about haha). But here are some things this week getting me through the cold weather 🙂

1. Organizing Everything / “Tidying Up with Marie Kondo”

We will see how long it lasts for my husband’s clothes drawers 😉

New year, slightly new me? Tidying Up with Marie Kondo is a new show on Netflix, but she also has a book all about organization and tidiness. Watching her show is like watching Hoarders, it makes me want to organize everything I see. I made a super unrealistic Pinterest board about organizing things but I am obsessed with the idea of everything being labeled and in a place lately. I’ve started to cleanse my closet again too (and my husband’s closet lol). Plus I’ve been folding my clothes like she teaches and I love how my clothing drawers look now!

2. More Vinyls

Random fact about me: I collect vinyl records. I love vintage ones, but I just love the sound of them in general, so I still buy new records. For Christmas, my brother bought me “+” by Ed Sheeran and “The Blue Album” by Weezer. I love them so much!

3. Wedding Album

G and I have been married for almost 2 years (?!?!?!) and I literally just now made a physical wedding album this week. I’m so excited about it! I made an old school, leather bound one where you slip in photos rather than assemble them online on Shutterfly or whatever. I love the feel of traditional photo albums!

4. Water Mask

I recently got a deluxe sample of Laneige Water Sleeping Mask with my most recent Sephora order and I’m in love. My skin has been so crazy dry this winter and I’ve been using this 1-2 times a week and it is super hydrating! I just put it on before I got to bed and wash it off when I wake up. Life saving!

I’m not clear on the status of raw berries rn so I I’m not clear on the status of raw berries rn so I guess let’s cook some raspberries up and make some raspberry-fudge pudding popsicles with a secret healthy ingredient 🤫🥑🤷‍♀️

RASPBERRY FUDGE POPSICLES 🥑🍫
Raspberry Part:
-~6 oz of fresh/frozen raspberries
-2 tbsp of sugar (I used coconut sugar)
•add raspberries and sugar to a saucepan over medium heat. Cook and let boil for about 5-7 minutes, stirring often to get a jammy consistency

Chocolate Part
1 avocado
1/2 cup milk
2-3 tbsp cocoa powder (depending on how chocolatey you want it!)
Splash of vanilla
Pinch of salt
Maple syrup to taste
•add all to a blender and blend until smooth

•layer chocolate and raspberry portions in a popsicle mold. You can use a toothpick or wooden skewer to swirl the layer a bit before adding sticks and freezing for at least 6 hours
•you may need to run warm water outside of your molds to help remove the popsicles when you’re ready to enjoy ❤️

This makes 6 popsicles with the molds I have but it may vary depending on the size you are using. You also may have leftover raspberry sauce!! It’s really good on Greek yogurt for a parfait or on ice cream 😉 #healthydessert #kidrecipes #toddlermom #easyrecipe

Should I fear a squirrel retaliation? 🐿️🫣 I shared Should I fear a squirrel retaliation? 🐿️🫣
I shared the picture of all of the peanuts in my car on my stories and it gave so many people a laugh, so I figured I would share the quick story time about getting my oil changed 🙃 #storytime
I scored this free water feature on Facebook marke I scored this free water feature on Facebook marketplace with hopes to make a mini wildlife pond in my garden to attract frogs, toads, and any other creatures in our yard! 🐸🐦‍⬛🦌
After I dug a big hole (no easy feat in this heat and with all this NC red clay), I buried the water feature so that it was level with the ground. I added some water plants native to my area: blue eyed grass and pickerel weed and also added some rocks so that animals could get in and out if needed. Once I filled it with water, I also added a solar fountain and mosquito dunks to keep those suckers away 🙃

To my toddler’s excitement, within a day, we already had frog visitors! Now I just need to decide what to plant around it 🤔🌼🪻 #garden #toddlermom #backyardwildlife
some nights I put my toddler to bed and I’m like “ some nights I put my toddler to bed and I’m like “yeah tonight’s all about me”— this was one of those nights!

Thanks so much to @sassysaints for gifting me with their gel nail wraps! This color is Sugar Glaze and you can use code SARAANN10 to save some $$$!
