Boozy, Bacon Pecan Pie

Food

Intriguing name, right? 🙂 This was actually my first time making homemade pecan pie (of course I used a store bought crust but STILL)! I went to a “Friendsgiving” last night (we actually call it “Fakesgiving”), so this seemed like an appropriate dessert to bring for the crowd. But honestly, now that I’ve made it, I think that anyone could…

Howdy friends! We have made it to yet another Friday, and I managed to pull myself together to write a Favorite Things post!

The Sweetest Pumpkin Patch in Charlotte (& Obviously The Outfit I Wore)

Charlotte· Style

Y’all knew a post with a photo shoot in a pumpkin patch would be coming sooner or later 😉 Hall’s Pumpkin Patch is so dang cute and right outside of Ballantyne in Charlotte, NC. It’s super popular because it has lots of activities for the kiddos– so naturally there wasn’t even a lot of pumpkins left when I went (as…

The Supplements I Take / Cheaper Alternatives to Plexus Triplex

Health

Back Story: In late September, I was having a conversation with my best friend about Plexus. It seemed like we both knew at least 3 people who sold it, and they all made convincing arguments about its validity, had amazing before and after pictures, and had hundreds of testimonials about it. Because we both had gained a few pounds and…

Side Table Upcycle / Guest Room Updates

Home

Decorating our guest room has been a work in progress for roughly a year now. It still needs a lot of work in the wall art department, but for about 5 months, there was nothing but a mattress in the room, so our little changes are certainly a huge step in the right direction! Finding a side table for our…

The Best Macaroni and Cheese

Food

Fall is making me break out all of the cozy, comfort food recipes ♥ I love me some casseroles, but I normally stray away from cooking them because they are generally associated with lots of fat, butter, and cheese (aka my favorite things/Achilles’s heel). Macaroni and cheese is always a crowd pleaser, but I can be picky about certain things…

Sweater Weather… Kinda

Now that we have made it to September, I’m ready for fall y’all 😍 With Hurricane Flo last week, things here in Charlotte cooled down a hair, but this week we are back to regularly scheduled 90+ degree weather! While it was still cooler, I had the chance to wear this new sweater I bought at Anthropologie. Who says you…

DIY No-Sew Fabric Birthday Banner!! 🥳🎉🎈 This is a DIY No-Sew Fabric Birthday Banner!! 🥳🎉🎈
This is a great project to use up fabric scraps and an old bed sheet with no sewing machine required.
You will need an iron, fabric, fabric scissors, a printer, Heat N Bond, and hem adhesive. Hopefully this tutorial is helpful to anyone trying to make a similar birthday banner without sewing experience. It’s fun to make and I love knowing that we can use this banner for all the birthdays to come! 🥹❤️ #whimsy #birthdaycrafts #toddlermom #whimsicalchildhood

Fighting some kind of respiratory virus while preg Fighting some kind of respiratory virus while pregnant, parenting a toddler, and trying to maintain a carb-conscious diet is not for the weak! Here’s what I ate in a day pregnant: SICK EDITION 🤧 my dietician had told me back with my first pregnancy that your blood sugars are going to be naturally higher when you are sick, so if you are checking blood sugars while sick and with gestational diabetes, it may be harder to keep them in range. Take care of yourself and try your best ❤️ #pregnant #gestationaldiabetes #whatieatinadayrealistic
The concept of pregnancy is magical and I am so th The concept of pregnancy is magical and I am so thankful, but also I cannot LOOK at raw meat, I’m googling everything, and this baby might be 90% French fries from the 1st trimester 🤪 but my 1st trimester was soooooo much easier this time than with my first! #pregnancy #pregnancyhumor #pregnant

Because I had gestational diabetes in my pregnancy Because I had gestational diabetes in my pregnancy with my son, I’m being carb-conscious while I wait to take my glucose test at about 24 weeks pregnant. I’m roughly following the guidelines I was given back in 2022, but obviously not monitoring blood sugars at this time since I don’t officially have a diagnosis at this time. Hopefully this gives you some meal and snack ideas if you are being carb-conscious or have gestational diabetes! #gestationaldiabetes #pregnancy #whatiatetoday
I had diet-controlled gestational diabetes with my I had diet-controlled gestational diabetes with my first pregnancy, so once I found I was pregnant with my second child, my doctor asked me to go ahead and be “carb-conscious” and try to roughly follow the diet while I wait to do my glucose test at ~24 weeks. 
Since I’m not checking my blood sugars rn, I’m trying my best to count carbs, adjust my portions, and make low-carb swaps where I can, with the knowledge that IF I get a diagnosis this pregnancy, I may have to adjust this diet further to reach my blood sugar goals. I’m also  trying to make my diet as nutritious as possible for myself and baby but in a realistic way! #gestationaldiabetes #whatieatinadayrealistic #pregnancy
