    mixed fruit smoothie

    March 13, 2019

    Breakfast does not have to be complicated, extravagant or time consuming! Whether you have time to cook breakfast in the morning, or have to eat your breakfast on the go, there’s a healthy breakfast for everyone! Check out one of my go-to favorite breakfasts, mixed fruit smoothie!  This smoothie only takes me about five minutes to make each morning (when I can squeeze it in), and it seriously keeps me full all day. Ingredients (1 serving) 1/4 cups frozen blueberries, raspberries or strawberries I used a mix. 1/4 medium banana fresh or frozen. 1/4 cup frozen mango chunks. 1 – 1 1/2 cups fresh orange juice (pineapple juice optional. 1/4…

    Always Creating Blog x Quinn Snacks + Whole Foods

    December 22, 2018

    I’m ready to get the party started this holiday season with @quinnsnacks now available @wholefoods. Quinn Snacks sent me three bags: Classic Sea Salt, the Deli Rye Style Rods, and the Touch of Honey, which was my favorite. I just love the balanced taste of sweet and salty! I definitely prefer these to ordinary pretzels and that’s saying a lot because I’m not a pretzel fan. And what’s not to love: Quinn Snacks pretzels are made from whole grain, have great taste, gluten free, and all their pretzels are made from non-GMO Project Verified ingredients, nothing artificial, EVER! In my research, I also learned that Quinn snacks practices sustainability through…

Instagram post 2192957678861940507_1807745921 Happy Friday babes!💕 If you need me I'll be buried in receipts HAHAHA

No, seriously though, end of the year closeout for entrepreneurs is not fun but so necessary. I'm trying to get organized for tax season. My accountant is amazing and I love her, but she's very organized and requires things in order!

It sounds boring, I know, but #adulting amirite?

See you all at happy hour aka wine o'clock! 5pm right here! HAHAHA I crack myself up! #friday #tgif #entrepreneurlife #bof #businesofblogging
Instagram post 2192416043740677918_1807745921 Me looking at 2020 like...💥 Did you know that Mark Twain was not only an American writer, he was also a 
humorist, entrepreneur, publisher, and lecturer, according to his Wiki page so the next time someone tells you, you have to focus on one thing or stay on one lane, tell them to f**k off then do as many things as you damn well please!

Step out of your comfort zone, take a leap of faith, take a chance on YOU! I promise you won't regret it!

Are you ready to take a leap in 2020? Let's goooooooo #thursdaymotivation #2020 #gritandgrace

I haven't sushi in a while... #randomthoughts // who else suffers from a severe case of random thoughts about food mid sentence or in a meeting, or talking on the phone, or writing this caption and now I want french fries.

What was I saying?

speaking of blog life, i drafted three blog posts that i will hopefully be sharing soon. come 2020 my goal for www.AlwaysCreatingBlog.com is to share most of my contents/musings/life/happenings/etc. on the blog, you know, like the old days. it's time to refocus on blogging passion.

now i'm off to a holiday party for my creative collective Hunt Country group (@huntcountryva) where i'm honored to have been serving as Website Committee Chair for a few months now. hey, I have to use all those years as a tech nerd somehow and if it means volunteering to help others market their local small businesses, so be it, sign me up!

alright kids, remember to be kind! we gotta keep our kindness tribe going strong

p.s. it's #givingtuesday. head on over to @alwayscreatingstudio, check-out the last post to see how you can #giveback, because #charitybeginsathome and every little bit counts!

Had the Mondayest Monday everrrrr // swipe for the battle.... the battle to get into work mode today was REAL. Butttt I was in my coziest of cozy blanket shawl & pink faux fur!

My only question is will Tuesday come for me?! I'm ready!

It's wine o'clock! Oh wait, it was. #goodnight #winelover #monday
Instagram post 2190053389176849797_1807745921 Did you know there are multiple ways to get home?

Think about it. Think about where you live, think about where your house is, and think about how many different ways you can get home should there be an accident or construction and your usual route is closed.

There's always another way to get home. There's always a detour. 
That's the same thing with life. There are multiple ways to go through life. So many in fact that there is not one perfect way to go through life. The only way to go through life that guarantees happiness, true happiness is by way of being kind to other people and yourself.

These are words that flow through my mind when I'm driving (I've so much more, they come out of nowhere). Thanks to my talk to text phone feature for always being there for me. I swear, it's the little things! #alwayscreatingblog 
Happy Monday! #monday #mondaylook #redcoat #vintage #casualstyle #wordabyglor
Instagram post 2189592623491321455_1807745921 It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas around here and I'm not mad about it!

We have our tree up (Little A hung up most of the ornaments, which I loved watching her do w/a glass of wine in hand, naturally) #motherhood #holidayseason

Swipe left to see our tree, watch our tree lighting (hahaha) and see what we're up to today, mostly snuggling and the pups totally are all about it! #sundayisforsnuggling

Side note: Modern Love on @amazonprimevideo is freaking amazing and you should totally watch it! I laughed, cried, laughed again and it's one of the best series I've seen in a long time! So good! Have you seen it?
