Health

If you found me because of my post I made 6 years ago about the supplements that I take that are cheaper alternatives to Plexus Triplex, welcome! That is one of my most popular posts to date (mostly because of how I broke down the Plexus Triplex ingredients into cheaper alternatives without the MLM and brand price tag) and I…

6 Healthy Crock Pot Meals for Minimal Effort Dinners

Food

Ever since my kid became a toddler, I have relied on my crock pot a lot more heavily, but sometimes finding healthy crock pot recipes is a challenge. My ideal crock pot dinner is relatively healthy and ideally something that has a veggie included in it, so it’s even less work to put together a full meal. This way, I…

Friday Favorites: Volume 40

Favorite Things· Life

I’ve been posting more regularly on the blog, but haven’t done a Friday Favorites in while! I shared a concise version on Instagram this afternoon, but thought this would be a good place to elaborate on things, share more info, and share specific links. Visiting IOP in March/April I just got back from Isle of Palms on Monday and had…

Why I Tape My Mouth Shut At Night: Mouth Taping Benefits, Best Tape to Use, and Does It Work?

Health

For a few years now, I have been hearing about the importance of nose breathing and people subsequently taping their mouth shut to sleep in order to force their body to do so. I wasn’t really quite sure how much merit there was behind it– is mouth taping at night some kind of weird health fad? It wasn’t until I…

75 Medium Challenge: Before and After, Tips, Favorite Meal Ideas, and Final Thoughts

75 Medium· Health

I completed the 75 medium challenge! The journey was not completely straightforward for me– mostly because of things like stomach bugs that threw a wrench into the challenge, but I finished it out really strong. I feel strongly that 75 Medium was the perfect balance of being a challenge (a little bit more challenging than 75 soft), but also realistic…

75 Medium: Week 9 Recap (Meal Ideas, Workouts, and Inspo)

Isle of Palms, SC: All Of My Faves after 20+ Years

Travel

My family has been taking us to Isle of Palms for over 20 years. Probably more like 25 years really! And boy has it changed during that time. We’ve seen plenty of businesses come/go/rebrand, houses become huge mansions, the IOP connector built, and more, but some things in IOP stay constant. Isle of Palms is a small island just right…

Let’s cook some raspberries up and make some raspb 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

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 $$$!

A couple years ago, my toddler and I decorated this tree home for our pal: Mr. Toad. This spring, Mr. Toad needed some roof repairs and some clean up around his little tree hole, so I took a slightly different approach with aquarium glue (recommended by many of you!) and hoping it holds up better this year!!
