    How to Meal Prep for Camping Trips – Vegan Edition

    July 30, 2018 / 0 Comments

    Meal Planning for Camping Trips D and I love to go camping and since it is the prime season for camping, I would like to share with you how we plan our meals. We never do anything fancy or too complicated and everything is vegan. You can, of  course, adjust to your dietary needs. Just remember that raw meat needs to be stored at a cold temperature! We only go car camping (no backpacking for us yet) so we are able to bring a large cooler and a Coleman stove along with other large items. Even though we have all the room a SUV provides, we still keep our meals…

    Fudgey Vegan Chocolate Muffins

    March 21, 2018 / 2 Comments

    Fudgey Vegan Chocolate Muffins Some of the best memories that I have of baking with my mom and brother involve muffins. It was never super fancy – definitely just the packets of muffin mix you buy at the store. But they were easy and “healthier” than cookies. I laugh to myself now thinking that muffins are healthy. They can be! Just not the ones from the store… or these muffins really. These fudgey muffins are really just cupcakes waiting for frosting. Dust some powder sugar over them – instadessert! This recipe is very quick to make and you probably have all the ingredients in your pantry ready to go. The…

    How We Successfully Spent Two Weeks Car Camping in Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks – Part 1 – Be Prepared In late 2016, my husband and I found ourselves in Alamogordo, New Mexico exploring White Sands National Monument. It was out of coincidence that we were there, but it changed our views on traveling in the US. Our visit to White Sands sparked a desire to become more in touch with the natural world around us and to visit more National Parks, Forests, and Monuments. It was this time last year that we decided it was time to visit Yellowstone National Park and Grand Teton National Park. We booked…

    Long Weekend in Kansas City on a Budget

    May 21, 2016 / 0 Comments

    We recently took a long weekend and went to Kansas City. It was sort of a “last chance” to spend money before our no spend month started. Other than our hotel (which admittedly we booked too late) we did really great with our budget!   The first weekend of May was a great time to go. The KC street cars opened and it was the first Friday which meant a sort of art crawl downtown. We have one similar in Tulsa on the first Thursday of the month. KC has lots of free events over the weekend each month. Before you go, look at the KC tourism website and see…

    DIY Framed Initial

    April 17, 2015 / 0 Comments

    I love my mom. And she is the perfect person to test out my crafting abilities on. Her birthday was also coming up so it was another excuse to make this!  I gathered my supplies: wooden letter, frame, and accent pieces as well as some new paint. You will also need a poster board of sorts, a paint brush, and hot glue. First I painted the frame, letter and little accent pieces and let them dry. Warning! Craft wood is super absorbent and it took me three coats of paint for  each piece. I then cut and painted the poster/foam board to fit the frame and where none showed in…

    DIY Confetti Glasses

    November 14, 2014 / 0 Comments

    I love Anthropologie. I really do. But I can’t afford it. Like save up for a year can’t afford it. That’s okay though because Pinterest has come to the rescue!!! With a plethora of knock-offs to search through you can get the look of Anthro without breaking the bank. In trying to be a grown up (got married, graduated, moved, got a job, etc etc…) I decided my hot pink cups from my freshman year weren’t going to cut it anymore. I don’t want anything fancy or expensive that I’m afraid I’m going to break. Here comes the knock-off part. I got my inspiration from the Anthropology glasses and from this gal’s…

    DIY Peppermint Foot Scrub

    November 3, 2014 / 0 Comments

    Pedicure are expensive. Let’s be honest. I work full time, my husband works full time and I can STILL not afford to get one as often as I like. I mean, how awesome would it be to get one every other week, shoot, every week? I like to treat myself to some pampering-me-time about once a week. I don’t even leave my house to do it. I give myself a nice foot soak and scrub and paint my toe nails. And that’s about all I have time to do or I just get super distracted.  This foot scrub is not only soothing and invigorating but cost effective too. All you…

    DIY Sharpie Mug

    October 30, 2014 / 0 Comments

    Every other person that I follow on Pinterest has some sort of variation of the DIY mug. Most of them have mustaches or funny faces on the bottom of them but what about a mug for the twenty-something bookworm?  It’s super easy to do. I bought a mug from the dollar store, drew out what I wanted on it and drew on it! You just bake at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 40 minutes. Done! Now it’s time to brew some herbal tea and settle into a good book. 🙂 Save
