Are You A Plant Lover? Add These 3 Books To Your Library!
Are You A Plant Lover? Add These 3 Books To Your Library! @MandaGroup #plantlady
About a year ago, I bought a parlor palm for my son’s room because I read somewhere that they an excellent air purifier. Still alive! I got a bit bold and slowly started adding bigger and more high maintenance plants (cough, croton cough). A lot of my plants stayed alive, but a few didn’t. What I learned is that plants require special and doing your research about a plant can help you keep them…

There’s just something about s’mores that makes you think of summer and camping! But let’s be real, I’m not a camping kind of girl! But summer recipes? Count me in! Today I’m sharing this super easy homemade s’ mores milkshake recipe using some Torani White Chocolate Sauce. Keep reading for the recipe!
Easy Homemade S’mores milkshake Recipe
This post is a paid collaboration with Torani. All opinions are my own. #ToraniWhiteChocolateSauce
You guys know I’m all for an easy, quick, and delicious recipe and this one did not disappoint! I use my butane torch to roast my marshmallow, and they turned out great! If you don’t have a torch, you can do it old school! Either in the oven using the broil method or on the stove top by holding your marshmallow close to the burner using a skewer.
What I like about the Torani White Chocolate Sauce is that it is made with real, simple ingredients like pure cane sugar & natural flavors. It also blends very well into my recipe which is something I was aiming for.

Graham crackers
Crushed graham crackers for your milkshake glass (you can use a food processor or add the crackers into a Ziploc bag and crush them using your hands. )
Marshmallows
Milk chocolate
2 tsp of Torani white chocolate sauce (More white chocolate sauce to rim your glass.)
2 cups Vanilla ice cream
More white chocolate sauce for dipping your glass in.
1/4 cup Milk
Blend vanilla ice cream with 1/4 cup milk, 2 tbsp of Torani White Chocolate sauce and 1 tbsp of crushed graham crackers.
Rim your glass by dipping it into a plate/bowl of white chocolate sauce.
Repeat the steps by dipping your glass into the crushed graham crackers.
Add the milkshake into a tall glass and topped it with whipped cream.
Top this delicious milkshake with a homemade s'more and some crushed graham crackers.
Camping may not be something I aspire to do, but I’m not entirely shutting down the idea. I heard there’s even glamping now! Now, that sounds like something right up my alley!
Who says you need to be in front of a campfire to enjoy s’ mores? This milkshake recipe totally hits the spot! Using the Torani White Chocolate Sauce made the recipe even more delicious. Make sure you grab a bottle of Torani White Chocolate Sauce so that you can recreate this yummy recipe! Click HERE to locate a store near you.

Benefits of Using Soothers | Philips Avent Soothie snuggle #ad #first1000days #PhilipsAVENT
Many new parents are often uncertain about whether or not they should use soothers. When I first became pregnant with my son, I was unsure of my stance on soothers, but I ended up adding it to my hospital bag anyway, and I’m happy I did. I was in the hospital longer than expected and was thankful that I had a soother to give my son. It came in handy when he would get fussy. With everything in…

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Rubbermaid® for IZEA Worldwide. All opinions are 100% mine.
Our food budget for a family of 4 is roughly $500 a month. However, I’ve been known to go over that budget a few times! One of the main reasons is that I sometimes buy items that we already have or things doesn’t get used and they go bad. Back when hubby and I both had a steady full-time job outside of the house, it wasn’t such a big deal when we did go over budget, however with me working at home as a freelancer, we need to watch our spending a little better. Today I’m sharing some tips we’ve been using to reduce food waste and stay on budget.
3 Tips On How To Reduce Food Waste
Shop Smart
My first tip to help you reduce food waste is to shop smart! One way to do that is to avoid at all cost, shopping when hangry! Trust me on that one. A sure way to go over budget is to go shopping on an empty stomach! Another way to shop smart is to buy following a meal plan. You don’t have to prep the meals ahead of time but making a meal plan for the week will help you make a list of only the items you need. Doing this will cut down on your food waste drastically.
Save leftovers
I’ve always been an overachiever when it comes to cooking and 80% of the time, we have leftovers for days! Which is not necessarily a bad thing when you have the proper way to store the leftovers. I like using the NEW Rubbermaid® Easy Find Lids Vents because they are BPA-free! They are perfect for storing food in and with their vent feature, you can pop them in the microwave and not have to worry about food splattering. Win!

Keep your fridge, pantry and freezer clutter free
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve bought groceries and completely forgotten certain items because I couldn’t see them in the fridge or pantry. A great way to avoid cluttering your refrigerator and other food storage area is to use clear stackable bins! The NEW Rubbermaid® Easy Find Lids Vents snap together, and to container bases, so you can always find the right lid quickly and easily. One of my favourite features about the NEW Rubbermaid® Easy Find Lids Vents is that they are graduated sized containers that nest for compact storage. This saves me so much space.
You can pick up the Rubbermaid® Easy Find Lids Vents at Wal-Mart, Canadian Tire, Loblaws and London Drugs.
