Gifts for the 20-Something

Gift Guide

If we are being honest, I think a lot of millennials/college students/new grads/20-somethings would all say they just want cash if you ask them what they want as a gift. But sometimes money isn’t the most appropriate thing (maybe it’s a gift swap or a gift for a significant other or maybe you just hate giving cash). Or you just…

My Skincare Routine

Beauty

Today I figured I would share my full skincare routine and the products I use on a daily basis. I mostly use products that can be found at Target, and I occasionally get things from Sephora or Ulta… but despite that, I never spend much money on those things! I’m not one of those people who has a 8-step skin…

Influencer Culture and Keeping it Real

Life

Over the past few months, I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about my blog, Instagram/social media in general, my brand, what my goals are, etc. In this reflection, I’ve come to a conclusion: I’ve never been wildly in love with Instagram. Creating a blog was my desire, and I created a public Instagram in order to connect with people…

9 Inexpensive Dinners that Don’t Suck

Food· Life

Yo. Let’s talk about groceries. Fact: they can really add up. And that’s coming from a family of two (just G and myself!)… so I can’t even imagine a bill in which we have kids! When we were first married in our entry-level jobs and trying to pay off student loans, I frequented Pinterest to find cheap dinner recipes and…

How to Rock Nursing School

Nursing

Don’t get me wrong, my college years were some of the best of my life, but nursing school is freaking HARD. I don’t miss it one bit. I’m writing this because I was not a straight A nursing student. I worked hard, cried a lot, felt like I was drowning, and wanted to quit on a number of occasions… BUT…

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!!
