HAPPY DAY IN THE LIFE | picking blueberries, baking, & yummy meal ideas! ✨
Good morning friends, welcome to anotherday in the life! It is a Monday so the
start of a new week I'm praying thatit's a good one a productive one and a
happy one um but today I just need tokind of plan and map out the week I did
some computer work this morning alreadyafter I had my delicious little
heart-shaped waffle breakfast um but nowI'm all dressed and ready because I am
headed over to a local blueberry farmand I did this last week I picked some
blueberries to inch away and I'm alreadyalmost out of them so I'm going again
today and it's just such a great way toget some fresh air and support the local
community I love to shop at local farmsespecially during this time where
there's not much else to do but we'reallowed to go get groceries and
essentials like that so I highlyrecommend looking for local farms in
your area because it really just adds somuch happiness and it's such a nice
activity to get out of the house getsome fresh air so can't wait to get some
fresh blueberries they taste so yummyand they are officially my favorite
fruit right now I can just not getenough so yeah that is the first thing
on the agenda but before I leave I kindof want to put together a little bit of
lunch because I am a little hungry it'salready 11 o'clock so I think I'm gonna
make a taco salad and then this weekendI actually made this kind of no hito so
it's mojito but we don't have anyalcohol and that was so except wine so I
just made it like without any alcoholand it's really good I'll show you guys
how I make it and Brandon really likesit too he's been working it so hard on
his grad school project this week andit's just working in the living room
right now so I'm gonna go make somelunch for us this is my outfit of the
day for the farmI am so comfy and just channeling my
flower power this tea is from PrincessPolly but unfortunately I think it's not
in stock anymore but I found a reallysimilar wine on Target so I will link
that below in the description and thenthis skirt it's also from Princess Polly
actually I just got it and it's superflowy and cute for spring and then I'm
just wearing some old conversebecause the ground can be kind of muddy
and stuff so these are perfect
here is our situation I have the tacosalad I'm gonna add some crushed
tortilla chips on top as well and thenthe dressing which is sure this in a
vlog before but it's Dijon mustard whichseems so random apple cider vinegar and
lime juice and then for our fancy littledrink I have my glass with ice and then
I'm gonna take this a grapefruitsparkling water you can use whatever
sparkling water but it just kind of addssome busyness and it's kind of the bulk
of the drink and then it's some limejuice so I'll just squeeze the limes
I'll do that when I'm not holding acamera though and then all of our mint
leaves which I'm actually gonna crush upa bit so that they can kind of infuse
better into the drink
and a sprinkle of sugar or a fewsprinkles or sugar he's such a fun
little lunch idea into such a greatcombo perfect for the hotter summer
months coming our way cheers babyall your hard work you've got such a
great setup now with all my pink he'sbeen using my pink desk chair because
it's a lot comfy here for him so I'mhappy and we have all our windows open
because it feels so nice outside okayit's time to get some blueberries
Brandon really wants me to make like ablueberry crumble crumble comes in a
blueberry crumble or like blueberrypancakes or blueberry muffins but I just
love them so much on their own just theway they taste just their pure blueberry
self so I don't know but it depends howmany I get today if I'm able to get like
almost a full bucket or half of a bucketI think I can probably make a crumble or
something if I have all the ingredientswhich actually would be kind of a fun
dessert tonight so we shall see staytuned
you
Oh
all right we just got home from peanutblueberries it was so fun we were
seriously picking them for about threehours
um the weather was so nice though so wedidn't really get sweaty baths and like
my arms are definitely a little toastedup I should have put sunscreen on my
arms but I forgot I don't really thinkwe would be there that long but it was
really fun but last week when I when Iwent they were just a ton more
blueberries on the bushes or trees Idon't even know if it's a bush or a tree
you would think I would know afterspending three hours with them but I
still need to learn and do my research Ithink their bushes I'm really not sure
let me know if you know but I'm gonnagoogle it after this anyways actually
I'm gonna Google it right now we'regonna get educated together Brandon's
just staring at me and laughing at melike always blueberry bush is a great
alliteration I honestly don't know thatdifference between a bush or tree
blueberry plant is it a blueberry bushor a blueberry tree okay you would think
this would be an easy answer but okaywe're gonna go with the blueberry bush
that is what we're gonna go with butthere's not really a straight-up answer
just by looking at it super-quickbut yeah they were a lot more picked
through cuz it's Monday so I bet a lotof people went over the weekend but I'm
so happy we still came home with a lotso now I'm just gonna give him a good
wash and soak with my fruit andvegetable wash so that they can get nice
and clean and then my friend Katie sheactually said that she makes a blueberry
ice cream with the blueberries so thatkind of sounds fun I might try to do
that or like the crumble I mentioned sowe'll see well consult with Pinterest
and see what we want to try but it was agreat way to get some fresh air today
okay it's time for a blueberry bath andthis is the fruit and vegetable wash I
use it's from Trader Joe's andit's kind of watery but I hope it makes
a difference so it gives youinstructions but basically what I'm
going to do is I am going to fill thisbowl with water and then I'm gonna pour
a few drops of this in and I'm gonna letthe berries soak for a bit and I'm also
just gonna rinse them off with somewater right now in the strainer but
hopefully that'll make them all nicethinking we have a lot of different
colors today like some of them are likeway more purple and some are way more
blue I love to kind of have some chart1since some sweet ones so this is the
perfect mix okay I just changed my comfysweats
I had my favorite tank top form for youpeople I truly cannot get enough of this
I really want to order more colors soonand now I actually want to tidy up the
house a bit because this weekend I hadnot that busy of a weekend but I just
didn't really vacuum or anything and itshows so I'm gonna tidy up a bit clean
the kitchen and then it's already fouro'clock and I think I'm gonna start
dinner because before I left for ablueberry picking I just had a few bites
of the salad and a few sips of the drinkbut then I left it for Brandon to eat
and I'm kind of hungry so instead ofmaking like a big snack I kind of just
want to make dinner and I'm making Dutchoven lasagna tonight and it's so good
the last time I made it I was actuallyvlogging in December so it's been a
minute but yeah I want to get started onthat
after I tidy up and then later tonight Ido have a video to finish editing and
some emails so I do need to do somecomputer work later but I'm kind of in
the mood to clean and cook so if I'm inthe mood I might as well take advantage
of it and get to work
okay I just started a load of laundryand I sweep the kitchen and watered the
plants so feeling good even justsprucing up the house a little bit just
boost my mood because I feel like it'sso productive and creates a happier
space and I realized I'd never made icedcoffee today and it's already 4:17 p.m.
just crazyBrandon's making a pouty face do you
want iced coffee babe would you drink itright now do you want to share it's too
late does it sound gooddo you feel like you need it you have to
work on your grad school project tonightare you sure hey Shay I don't mind
making a just a little menuinghe needs a little mini when I'm making a
little mini one
for today's iced coffee I just had myleftover coffee from the morning and
then a splash of cold brew a splash ofhalf-and-half and a splash of salted
caramel syrup
okay here is how I mean Sonia looks sodelicious it's cooking up so now I just
have to leave it and courage and let itcook on low for 40 minutes 30 to 40
minutes and my stomach is growling so wewon't actually eat until around 6:00 but
it'll be worth the waitdinner is served
okay dinner was delicious I love a goodlasagna night I will link the recipe
down below if you'd like to make it myDutch oven got a little burnt on the
bottom this time which didn't happenlast time maybe I was supposed to add
more olive oil I'm not really sure notreally sure excuse me um I have
something to me through um but now I'mgonna make something I'm gonna bake
something with the blueberries I wasthinking about the ice cream but Brandon
over there he is really wonky blueberrycrisp which I've never had that but I
looked at the recipe seems pretty simplewe have all the ingredients so you can't
have any excuses there so I figured Iwill bake it for him since he's been
working so hard on his work and his gradschool work so it's a little treat how
do you feel about that
life is a winding road no telling whereit goes
driving through days and nights won'tstop for traffic light nobody wanna know
if I figure out where the road goes evenif we fall down I will keep on searching
for my heart
you can say oh that's on my and I willkeep on holding my head high even the
sky is falling down
jumping from cliff so high just inOwings defy sometimes you're crashing
down but we get all right here's ourblueberry crisp all crispy and bubbly
hopefully it's good we gotta do a tastetest do you like it yes it's not really
my thing but it's good yeah yeah we needvanilla and cookie dough or missing it'd
be really good okay it's good I don'tthink it's bad by any means I think it's
yummy but it's just not like I honestlyprefer blueberry it's just random sauce
on there I do I could make like somewhipped cream naming
