Favorite Things: Vol. XXVIII

Favorite Things

Happy Friday! I meant to post this last week for 4th of July, but for some reason, it did not schedule properly 🙁 Regardless, I hope you all had a happy 4th of July and have a great 4th weekend! G and I attempted to do some furniture shopping because of all the great sales this weekend. Things are slowing coming together in out new house! I’m going to be adding a home tab to the blog soon, to share some of my favorite items and the progression as we start to decorate our new house. If there’s anything you want to see, send me an email or DM me over Instagram 🙂

Bathing Suit

You can purchase the set for under $15 total! I just looked online and some colors have the top as low as $3 (!?!?!?!?!!) and the bottoms range from $5-7. LIKE WHAT. It’s surprisingly good quality, and I got lots of compliments on it!

The Cutest Wedding Details

G and I went to a wedding a few weeks ago that was so cute, and I took a few of my own photos because I loved the details that the bride had thought through. If you want to read about our own wedding details, you can check out this post 🙂

The flowers were just gorgeous. I love eucalyptus and it was incorporated in lots of different ways in the ceremony and reception.

I loved these place cards at the reception!

Chrissy Teigen’s BTI Roast Chicken

This roast chicken will rock your world! It uses compound butter and lots of fresh herbs which sets it over the top. It’s from Chrissy Teigen’s cookbook “Cravings“, which is one of my absolute fave cookbooks. I put it on our wedding registry and I love trying out new recipes from it. There hasn’t been a single recipe from it that I have not LOVED!

“Almond Joy” Energy Bites

I made these before our recent trip to Smith Mountain Lake last week and they turned out so good! I like to use natural Jif for this recipe (I normally love Justin’s PB, but good ole Jif helps hold the bites together better)

Button Up Loft Dress

This super cute dress will fit you like a glove, is super flattering, and HAS POCKETS!!! I LOVE. It’s currently on sale for an extra 40% off too, so get it while you can!

Have a great weekend!

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 $$$!
