Sourdough, it’s something I’ve been thinking about diving into for well over a year now. Every time I looked into it or watched someone making sourdough I noticed they always had some massive container which freaked me out and all of these different tools. Well …
We have been loving the switch to organic cotton. Even Izzy says it just feels different! We recently had family come in town and so I decided to share a fun reel of myself and Luna (she’s honestly no help) making my office into a …
Our new home had an additional living space and covered deck, both of which I felt needed rugs to make them feel more cozy. I looked for months at brands and styles and ended up going with these Orian rugs after watching their highlights on Instagram and seeing how easy they are to clean. We have a husky mix and a child and with all the things I have to upkeep and clean during the day, I felt I deserved a break on the rugs. I’m absolutely in love with how they look and feel & so I had to share them here.
I linked both of the rugs I got below.
This is the Orian rug we got for our living room.

The deck space is transformed!
Happy Rug Hunting You Guys!

I pulled together gifts from my personal experience that I would have loved or have loved while having a young child. Sometimes a gift that makes my life easier is exactly what I want & sometimes I just want something that has nothing to do with mom life at all. Hopefully this list fits both of those needs.

We have this one seater Hamax Bike Trailer & OMG it’s a game changer. No only can your child now go on bike rides with you, you can also use this for jogging, long walks, & more. I listed the one seat (which we have) and two seat below.

I have always loved this style for lounging around the house, they are perfect for nursing, they are so cozy and yet you still feel cute.
Head Wraps/Headbands
If I’m in a rush or just feel like pulling my hair up or haven’t washed my hair in a couple days, these are my go to! They even have a fleece lined one I love for walks on colder days because it keeps my ears warm.

Self Care Gifts
CBD
Speaking of self care… What do you know about Hemp Wellness? Feeling anxious, overtired & just off? These products have personally made my life better. Did you know you have an endocannabinoid system? There are so many benefits to your system, however not all CBD is created equal. Currently this company is the only vertically integrated, directly sold, USDA organic certified hemp-derived CBD company on the market. Farm-to-family, they are in control of the entire process. They plant it, grow it, harvest it, extract it, bottle it, package it, and ship it. Straight from the farmers to your front door.

These Immunity & Vitamin C Gummies are so freaking good, easy to make & GOOD FOR YOU!
Ingredients
Optional, we added some plant based/natural food coloring to some of our gummies.
3 scoops FlavCity Pink Lemonade
(or 1.5 scoops of FlavCity Lemonade & 1.5 scoops FlavCity Immunity Tea)
2 tbsp gelatin (This is the gelatin I use)
2 tbsp water to bloom
2/3 cup water
What does water to bloom mean? Just mix the gelatin in a medium bowl with the 2tbsp water to let it bloom. Be sure to do this right before you are ready to pour the rest of the water mixture in. Otherwise I noticed on my first try, it gets hardened and difficult to mix all together.
Recipe
This recipe is c/o FlavCity! Chef Bobby has incredible & clean products and recipes!
Heat 2/3 cup water on the stove until boiling.
Let it cool for 2-3 minutes. Then add the lemonade/Immunity Tea and mix.
Pour hot lemonade into the bloomed gelatin and stir until combined.
Optional: We added our own flair to the recipe by mixing in some natural/plant based food coloring.
Let it sit for 2-3 minutes before filling gummy molds. Then once molds are filled, refrigerate for 30 minutes or until set. I needed mine to set for a good hour before they came easily out of the molds.
When adding to molds you can add some of one color, let sit in the fridge for 10 minutes and then add some of another color for added colorful fun! You can see this on some of our worms.
Store in the refrigerator! How long do they last? I’d say a week, ours don’t typically last that long.
