Friday Favorites: June 29th
I love holidays, especially the ones where it’s considered appropriate to prepare themed foods and brightly-colored desserts. Valentine’s Day? Yes. Washington’s birthday? Not so much. So in honor of the 4th of July, check out these adorable and tasty-looking treats and beverages that are perfect for the holiday: Red, White & Blue Sangria America’s Birthday Cake Grown-Up Fruity Sangria Popsicles Yellow Cake Pie with Chocolate Mousse White Strawberry-Lemon Sangria Berry Bliss Rocket Pops If you’re a mom, you know how it goes – after baby is...

You don’t have to be on...

A weekly roundup of the posts, articles and recipes I’ve bookmarked, pinned or otherwise loved: It’s been three weeks since I did Friday Favorites so I had some catching up to do! One of my favorite bloggers, Sable from Squat Like A Lady, offers a simple and beautiful reminder that Your Body Is Not a Burden. It’s not an easy thing to remember, especially when you feel like you’re constantly fighting back against your body in an effort to achieve physical goals, but I think we can all use a shift in perspective like this one.

A weekly roundup of the articles and recipes I’ve bookmarked, pinned or otherwise loved: Jenn over at Girl Heroes wrote an inspiring post about How To Be Honest With Yourself. This is a great way to check in with yourself and determine whether you’re really doing what you can and should be doing to meet your goals, whether they’re physical or otherwise. In honor of Cinco de Mayo, one of the Mexican recipes I’ve been itching to try: Chicken Fajita Quesadillas from Closet Cooking. I’ve been bored with my usual go-to meals lately, so I’ve been scouring...
