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
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 $$$!

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!!
