Q&A: Vol. I

Life· Q & A

Today I figured I would do a bit of a different post than normal and answer a few common questions I get in either emails, DMs on Instagram, comments, etc. I realized that I honestly don’t share too many details about my life besides bits and pieces you might get from my travel posts or my Favorite Things posts. Not…

7 Products I Use to Reduce Waste

Life

I will be the first to admit that I am not the best at being “green”. I always forget my canvas bag when I go to the grocery store, I forget to unplug electronics, and honestly I could do a better job in conserving fuel. But I KNOW reducing waste is important and so I’m always trying to find easy…

Stuffed Peppers

Food

Howdy! It’s been a while since I shared a recipe with y’all, so I’m sharing one of my favorite weeknight meals– STUFFED PEPPERS! The filling is actually pretty similar to my crockpot mexican chicken and quinoa, sans enchilada sauce– but it’s cooked in the skillet, so you can pull it all together relatively quickly. I love cooked peppers, so filling…

Between our mini-trip to Charleston, school restarting, and other content I’ve been super inspired to write, this post kept getting pushed to the back-burner. But I’ve pulled it together now– yay! Enjoy, and have a very happy Friday! 1. Silk Scarves I’ve been reading a lot…

Amazon Haul: Vol. I

Amazon Hauls· Style

Alright, y’all know my love for Amazon by now. To my husband’s dismay, I buy a lot of clothes on Amazon, so I figured I might as well start sharing what I get (the good and the bad). Sunglasses I lost another pair of sunglasses so I was searching for a cute pair for cheap. I’m really happy with these!…

A Native’s Guide to a Vacay in Charlotte

Charlotte· Travel

I have lived in Charlotte since 2003 (besides moving away for 3 1/2 years for school), so I consider myself pretty much a native Charlottean (is that a thing?). Charlotte is one of the fastest growing cities in the U.S. and constantly has new breweries, activities, and restaurants opening. It really is such a beautiful town and a lot of…

24 Hours (roughly) in Charleston

Travel

OK, actually I’m pretty much on point with saying that we spent almost EXACTLY 24 hours in Charleston this past weekend. G and I both had work off for MLK day this year so we decided to get out of town! It was a last minute decision to do so, but we ended up only spending 24 hours because we…

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!!
