5 Books I Read in November 2024

Books

After reading 10 books in October, I should have expected that I wouldn’t be able to outdo myself again! I read 5 books this past month for us to chat about. We have a non-fiction, a literary fiction, a romance, a fantasy-romance, and the most insane ALIEN spicy romance (that I’m terrified to even share lol). Just for the Summer…

How To Make the Perfect Dried Oranges: Garland, Drink, Decor and More

DIY

I love the primitive, natural look of decorating with dried oranges for the holidays! Whether it’s hung like garland, strung for ornaments, or made in to a cool wreath (like this!), I love it all. Plus it’s perfect for garnish in a holiday cocktail! If you’re trying to come up with an inexpensive gift exchange gift, you could add some…

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
