{ NEW COOKING VIDEO!!! }
Cooking videos are back in full swing and they’ll be on the blog every Tuesday with a brand spankin’ new recipe! And today I’m kicking it off with a coffee recipe that makes summer way more fun. Ok, not really, because summer is already the best. But it makes summer mornings more delightful since you don’t have to work for your coffee. All you have to do is make this ahead of time, store it in a container, shake, pour, drink. You can do this! I believe in you!
If you hear an condescending anger in my voice today, it’s because I’ve been up for 6 out of my 8 hours of sleep. Not a fan of that. I don’t know how parents do it. But I’ve had a sick pup who decided it was a great idea to puke on our white rug at midnight last night. And he decided to puke bright yellow, which goes swimmingly with our yellow and coral comforter. This comes weeks after Jackson puked bright pink all over our living room rug. Pepto bismol pink. So sketch. But the vet didn’t seem to be worried. So now we are at a crossing where he has ruined every rug in our house, the vet doesn’t seem to worry, and we have a dog that pukes randomly but seems fine the next day. Not really sure what to think. But it was a great reminder that I’m still not ready to have a child. Sleep is my favorite.
Being an adult is the pits. It’s the best, but it’s totally the pits. And I’ve finally taken full responsibility of being an adult by finally budgeting. I’ve always been so broke AF that budgeting was never needed, I just saved everything and prayed that I would be able to make rent. But now that I live with another human and we have to plan a life together and be prepared for an apocalypse at some point, budgeting has become my buddy. So I reached out to my friend Brianna of The School of Betty to get her budgeting spreadsheet and began filling it out starting with January to now. And let me tell you…it has been quite eye opening. And one of the biggest eye openers: coffee. Why the hell am I spending so much on coffee when I like how I make my coffee at home better than a coffee shop?
Do you guys out there ever fill out some sort of budgeting sheet to get you planning for the future and understanding your present ways? This stuff is never talked about in school (just like effing taxes) and it’s such a big part of our lives. I’d love to hear how you guys have budgeted or been enlightened of your own spending habits! Because at this point, I definitely want to cook more meals at home and make my own lattes, because that sh*t adds up reaaaaal fast. Which is why I’ll be enjoying this collagen mocha latte at home today! Excited to hear about your own budgeting hacks or how you have been enlightened in the past. And PS, when will the school system add this sh*t into their plans?? How rad would it be to leave high school or even college knowing how to deal with taxes and budget for the future.
