23 Things you should pack for the galapagos

The Ultimate Packing Guide for Your Galapagos Adventure

Style· Travel

I am currently having a hard time that it was about 3 months ago now that I was packing and leaving for the Galapagos with my mom. If you read my post about our trip, you might remember that we planned this trip for TWO YEARS, but despite all of that planning, there were still some things that I wish…

How To Care For and Restore Cast Iron Pans

DIY

I LOVE cast iron pans. I see so many people turning to trendy non-stick pans like the Always Pan, or All-Clad Pans for everything lately. I think non-stick pans have a time and place for sure (like fried or scrambled eggs), but for things like meats and sauteed veggies, cast iron pans are the best. Sure they are heavy, but…

It’s been a little bit since we shared a recipe over here, so today I’m sharing an easy dinner soup recipe! This one is super easy and dare I say– healthy-ish?! I always say that there are two types of people in this world: people who hate leftovers, and people who love them. One of our favorite things– especially in…

Cruising Through the Galapagos Islands

Travel

Y’all, I have been dying to share a full blog post about my recent trip to the Galapagos Islands with y’all for some time now. It’s a trip that had been booked for almost 2 years, almost got cancelled due to COVID, but was 16799% worth it. It took me a long time to finish this post due to me…

Just a Taste of Quito, Ecuador

Travel

To be completely honest with y’all, I had done absolutely no research on Quito before I went and had no idea what it was going to look like, be like, what we were going to tour, NOTHING. Sometimes I love having zero expectations when I travel because I just let myself absorb everything without stressing that something isn’t the way…

Rev Up Your Ride: The Affordable Amazon Alternative to a Peloton Bike

Fitness· Health

Have you been interested in getting a Peloton for a while, but a little put off by the cost and the current wait time (6-10 weeks)? I’m with you. And with gyms being limited right now, an at-home workout is in the cards for most people. But is there a cheaper bike that you can use with the Peloton app…

Sausage and Bell Pepper Linguine

Food

It’s been a hot minute since I shared a recipe on here, which is shocking for as much as I have been cooking over quarantine! One of our go-to meals in our weekly rotation is spaghetti. It’s so quick and easy to throw together, but we have a pretty bad habit of resorting to frozen meatballs and spaghetti sauce from…

How I Strip My Laundry of Build-Up

Home

Is a cleaning series in the future of this blog? Not too long ago, I shared how I deep clean my dishwasher and now I’m blogging about how I do laundry stripping? Go Clean Co and TikTok cleaning videos have clearly really taken over my brain space, and with still being in quarantine, what else am I going to do…

5 Books I’ve Read in Quarantine (AND LOVED)

Books

Hello everyone! How are we coping through quarantine? While some states are loosening up their restrictions on things, most places are still not completely open, so I’m continuing to find myself with a lot of free time! I feel like I have watched every show on Netflix/Hulu/Amazon Prime at this point, so I have been forcing myself to try and…

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!!
