Do you make your bed everyday? Curious how many grown ups do this. I would say I am a 50/50. Depends on the day, like if I still have a kiddo in my bed when I get up, or if my morning is just slow paced.
With birthday season coming up over here I have been wondering what toys have been a hit in your house for multiple ages of kids? I’m talking toys that somehow keep toddlers interested but older kids still play with too?
*I’ll go first: Magna-Tiles and plain red Solo cups for stacking, building, and making all kinds of creations. Curious what toys have actually gotten long-term use in other homes.
I’ve started noticing my energy has been low lately, and a few people said it could be because I’ve basically cut out carbs. I eat plenty of protein and veggies, but I rarely eat breads or fruit.
Lately I started making a morning shake instead of hot coffee: frozen banana, plain Greek yogurt, cold brew coffee, ice, and a little monk fruit sweetener. Honestly… it’s been helping a lot. More filling, keeps me going longer, and tastes way better than expected.
I’m trying to stay lower carb / low sugar, so the banana is kind of my “sweetener” with just a little monk fruit added.
TWO QUESTIONS!??
\* Any other smoothie/shake combos I should try that fit low carb-ish and high protein?
\* Also… my husband said “no one puts banana in their coffee.” Please raise your hand if you do so I can prove him wrong 😂
We’re putting a new fireplace in our house and I’m overwhelmed by all the options. For people who’ve done this before, what ends up looking the best long term and aging well: tile, wood surround, stone, etc.? Also, would you choose gas or a real wood-burning fireplace if you were doing it again? Looking for opinions on style, practicality, and what you’d avoid.
