Hello

I'm Larissa. You can usually find me sporting a wide-brimmed hat, with a baby on my back.

Ten years ago (almost to the day) this guy told me he was in love with me. We’d only been together for a few weeks. But we both knew (at the ripe age of 20) that we would build a life together someday. I won’t lie and say every year, week, or day has been sunny and bright. But amidst all of the inevitable hardships of life, we’ve come out on the other side of ten years stronger + truly more in love than ever. I adore him. Plus, when your guy loves watching The Sound of Music on your at home date nights more than you do, you know he’s a keeper! ☺️ #beating50percent #couples #marriage #husbandandwife

Does thrifting clothes weird you out? Over the last year or so I’ve had people ask me about it - whether I have any horror stories - and the answer is no. I’ve always had a great experience buying secondhand. .
.
Usually when I get an item I’ve thrifted I wash it or get it dry-cleaned right away. When I was buying baby carriers left and right, those were almost all secondhand! Some are way easier to use because they’re broken in! So I always preferred to buy them used. .
.
Anyway, just want to encourage you to try it out, even if you’re not used to it! If there’s something I want to buy I usually check my local consignment store then poshmark, and if I can’t find it I’ll buy new or reconsider whether it is something I “need”. This wasn’t always how I did things, and I’m definitely not perfect at it - but I try my best! 🙂

Making these soft, vegan PB pumpkin spice cookies again today because they disappear way too fast. 😍 These can be made nut-free, grain-free, or GF! I included subs below. Here’s the recipe:
.
INGREDIENTS:
1 flax egg (1 tbs. flaxseed + 2.5 tablespoons warm water)
3/4 cups coconut sugar
1 cup creamy organic peanut butter (can sub sunflower seed butter too!)
1 cup organic whole wheat flour (you can also use almond flour or any gluten-free flour blend)
1 tbs pumpkin spice
Pinch sea salt
Vegan chocolate chips

MAKE THEM:
- Preheat oven to 350 F.
- Start by preparing your flax egg in a small bowl.
- Add the coconut sugar, peanut butter, sea salt, and pumpkin spice in and mix well.
- Add in the flour, and stir until well incorporated.
- Roll the dough into 12-15 balls, then place on cookie sheet.
-I pressed them down just a bit to flatten them. Then I added the chocolate chips on top. I added around 3-4 per cookie, which is why I didn’t include measurements for the chocolate chips above. 😉
- Cook for around 8-10 minutes. They’ll be very soft, so let them finish cooking on the pan for another ten minutes after you take them out of the oven. Then they should be ready to eat!
- Serve, and enjoy! These save well on the counter for a few days, but I doubt they will last that long! #livingincoloreats #vegantreats #vegancookies

Getting darker earlier means evenings at home with cozy stews, blankets by the fire, and trying to catch a page or two of some reading in between dinner and bath time! But sometimes it means busy evenings out running errands, or running to grab a last-minute dinner item. I do love this time of year, but when it gets dark so early, I worry about forgetting to leave a light on while we're away from our home. It's something I've done since I was a kid.
.
.
Last year I bought my husband the Caséta by Lutron smart switches, and it's been a game changer! We started using the Smart Away feature that automatically turns our lights on and off so it appears as though we're home. Even when we aren't! It's such a great way to keep our home safe and give us peace of mind. There's also a handy app through which you can control the lighting, so if I forget to leave a light on, (which happens often) I can use my phone to turn it off or on. Caséta by Lutron is on sale from 11/28 – 12/4. Get the Caséta by Lutron Dimmer Switch Starter Kit for up to 20% off. This offer is available at participating locations and through your electrician.
