Literally just regular people

Life

Welcome to this corner of the internet that I am naming, “The Regular Folks”!

If you are reading this, congrats! You are reading the very first post of this blog.

I first started blogging in high school with a food blog. It was relatively successful at the time, and I loved it, but kind of fell apart when I went to college. Partially because:

a. I literally only had a microwave for two years on the dorms

b. I had no time

c. I was poor

d. It was hard to act as a foodie when I was literally living off cafeteria food, microwave popcorn, and cookout.

I have started and stopped a couple of blogs now, enjoying the community of blogging and sharing my ideas, but never really having a niche to focus a blog on. While I thought about starting another food blog, I have so many more interests now, that I really did not want to put this blog in a box.

So what is this blog? Part lifestyle, part food, part travel, part style, part whatever else I want it to be– and whatever you as the reader want it to be!

Really the encompassing idea of this blog is for it all to be realistic. I read a ton of amazing blogs about fashion, food, home, etc., but they often feel like the food they are posting is for someone who readily has a billion odd ingredients at their disposal and throws dinner parties on the reg. And the fashion ones are tailored towards people who have the money to spend the equivalent of my biweekly paycheck on a pair of shoes that I know I would break my ankle in anyway.

This blog is tailored for you, people who like the idea of all of these things, yet know realistically that it’s not happening. I call us regular folks.

It’s been busy over here 🫪) I use this as an opportunity to teach him about taking care of others in our community in big and little ways.

I’m not clear on the status of raw berries rn so I I’m not clear on the status of raw berries rn so I guess 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

Should I fear a squirrel retaliation? 🐿️🫣 I shared Should I fear a squirrel retaliation? 🐿️🫣
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 $$$!
