It’s that time again for our yearly Clark County Fair trip!
We always hit up the first day (Friday, August 4th) since it’s free with the coupon from Fred Meyers. But, it ended up being a scorcher this year, so we were only able to last until about 10am-2pm. View Post
If you’re a caffeine addict like most of the world, you’ll obviously need a cute coffee mug to drink out of. Am I right!?
As some of you know, I run an Etsy Shop, but with busy summer days comes low sales and not as many views as a small business owner hopes for. So I figured I would do a shameless plug for myself since I also run a blog. It’s like a win-win for both. Create content + get a possible sale.
I haven’t been able to stock my shop with as many new ideas as I would like. But maybe one of these weekends I can get some ideas out of my head and onto coffee mugs.
(in my shop *wink*)
You can get this cute coffee mug ——> here
This is a cute mermaid at heart glitter coffee mug using a mix of blue and pink glitter to match the cup design.
It’s summer, it’s hot and you need something cool to get you through the sweltering heat; make up some tasty hemp and chia poop emoji yogurt-sicles for you and the littles!
I actually found these while walking around Walmart. They were in a middle aisle in a giant bin for less than $2; score!
I know, I know… this is actually an ice cream emoji, but kids and most of the internet claim its poop. I’m okay with poop.
I could have been super gross and made these into fudge poopsicles, but I wanted it to be somewhat healthy for my toddler since she likes eating 2-3 a day.
Don’t judge…
Two tablespoons of chia seeds contain 4 grams of protein and 11 grams of dietary fiber. That’s over 40 percent of your daily fiber needs! They’re also a good source of good fat.
Two tablespoons of hemp seeds provide 10 grams of protein and four percent of your daily fiber needs. Like chia seeds, hemp seeds are high in fat (13 grams per serving).
They’re essentially a really great source of fiber, protein, fat, minerals, calcium and antioxidants.
Have you ever taken a drive to the Gorge in either Washington or Oregon side? You’ll find this hidden gem in the small logging town of Carson, Wa.
We’ve actually been to Backwoods Brewery quite a few times since its opening in 2012. My husband is from Carson and that’s where most of his family resides, so we try to get up there as much as possible to visit. And since it is a small town, food options are kind of limited unless you drive a few minutes to Stevenson, WA. That is until Backwoods Brewery came along!
I love that they make their own dough and sauce for their delicious pizzas, and brew their own variety of beers. My husband dislikes IPAs which they seem to be fond of, but they do have quite a few good beers that aren’t IPA, like their blueberry wheat (seasonal draft) and the Ridge Run Stout.
Watches have been around since the 16th century and for good reason; being able to easily tell time at any point of the day is crucial without fumbling around trying to find a phone or looking for a clock. One would think with today’s modern technology that the wrist watch would be dying out and ultimately one day disappearing altogether, but the wristwatch is still thriving and surviving despite technological advancement because they’re more than just a way to keep track of time, they’re also a fashion statement!
I stumbled across JORD Wood Watches and was intrigued by the intricate mechanical designs of some of their pieces as well as the watches being made out of 100% natural woods like maple, bamboo, zebrawood, cherry, blackwood, koa and sandalwood. You can tell that each piece had a lot of thought and time go into the designing process. They’re so classic yet industrial-looking, almost like they came out of the 19th century, especially the Dover pieces which are my husband and my faves.
