Well, guess who caused a little neighborhood excit Well, guess who caused a little neighborhood excitement this morning and had to call 911?! 🙋🏻‍♀️😅

It all started when our carbon monoxide detector kept going off. Naturally, I tried replacing the battery first, but that didn’t help. 🙃

So there I was, frantically trying to get ahold of my husband, who OF COURSE was in a meeting and couldn’t answer, while simultaneously trying to round up all three cats and get everyone outside. 😹

And what does any responsible 33-year-old adult woman do in a situation like this?! CALL HER MOM. 🤣

Literally called my mom to ask if I should call 911 because apparently I still need adult supervision when it comes to adulting. 😂

Well, the fire department showed up, checked everything out, and THANKFULLY there was no carbon monoxide leak! 🙌🏻

Turns out our carbon monoxide alarm was just old and needed replacing. It was over five years old! 🙃

So now I feel a little ridiculous for causing such a commotion, but better safe than sorry, right?!

AND in my defense, our gas fireplace hasn’t been working, and my husband was messing with it last night. So naturally, my mind went straight to a possible gas leak. 😬

Thankfully, everyone is safe, the cats are probably traumatized from their unexpected evacuation, and I’ve officially had enough excitement for one morning. 🤣

So here’s your friendly reminder to check your carbon monoxide detectors, replace them according to the manufacturer’s recommendations, and NEVER ignore an alarm! 🚨

And if you’re one of my neighbors, sorry about all the fire trucks and sirens this morning. Just your local neighborhood drama queen keeping things interesting! 😜

Please tell me I’m not the only grown adult who still calls their mom when something goes wrong?! 🤣👇

Also, shoutout to the fire department for being so nice and telling me I did the right thing by calling. That made me feel slightly less ridiculous at least 😜

Too early to start Christmas crafting?! I think no Too early to start Christmas crafting?! I think not! 😜🎄

I had some extra oyster shells left over from our beach trip this summer, so instead of letting them sit around, I turned them into these DIY oyster shell Christmas ornaments! You may remember I turned some of the shells into cute little ghosts for Halloween too 👻 But now we’re officially moving on to Christmas crafts!

And I am obsessed with how these turned out! All I needed was some spray paint, pretty wrapping paper, Mod Podge, twine, and hot glue to transform ordinary oyster shells into high-end looking coastal Christmas ornaments.

Not only are these such a pretty addition to your Christmas tree, but they’re also a sweet vacation keepsake! Every year when you pull them out, you’ll have a little reminder of that summer beach trip. 🥹

I always decorate my Christmas tree with gold, so these are going to fit in perfectly with my Christmas decor this year! 🎄

Save this easy DIY Christmas ornament idea for your holiday crafting list!

So consider waiting until November to decorate for Christmas officially GHOSTED. ✌🏻

#ad 🎃🐈‍⬛ Don’t throw away that empty cat litter ju #ad 🎃🐈‍⬛ Don’t throw away that empty cat litter jug… turn it into a Halloween boo basket for your cats instead! I’m partnering with @catspride today to put an empty Cat’s Pride litter jug to good use with the cutest little upcycling project. Since the jug was already the perfect Frankenstein green, I knew exactly what I wanted to make! 💚 After cleaning the empty jug thoroughly, we cut off the top to create a basket shape. Then I used my Cricut to add a Frankenstein face before filling it with some of Riley and Toby’s favorite cat treats and Halloween toys. And judging by Toby’s reaction to that catnip owl, I’d say this DIY cat boo basket was a success. 😹 And before the jug was transformed, Cat’s Pride made litter box duty a whole lot easier. I love the odor control and easy scooping, and Riley and Toby are always VERY interested when a fresh box of litter appears. 😂 So consider this your sign to save your next empty litter jug and get creative with it! And when it’s time to stock up on fresh litter, check out Cat’s Pride for your own feline crew. 🐾 Would you make a Halloween boo basket for your cats?! 🎃👇🏻
If you’re wondering what to do with all that lefto If you’re wondering what to do with all that leftover Halloween candy, these Leftover Halloween Candy Cookies are the answer! They combine two of my favorite things: candy AND cookies! So you really can’t go wrong. 🤣

Just chop up your favorite leftover chocolate candy bars, mix them into the cookie dough, and you’ve got the ultimate easy post-Halloween treat! Plus, every cookie is a little different depending on what candy you throw in. 🙌🏻

This is such a fun way to use up leftover Halloween candy instead of letting it sit around for the next six months. 😂

Healthy Mocktail Recipes

I always love to enjoy a good mocktail on the porch when the weather is nice. And if you do too, then you will love these healthy mocktail recipes I am sharing on the blog today. These non-alcoholic drinks are easy to make and only require simple ingredients.

Most have fresh fruits, fresh herbs, and fruit juices added to make it not only refreshing but delicious as well. So if you’re trying to cut back on your alcohol consumption, or just want to enjoy some healthy summer mocktail recipes, then be sure to check out the ones I have listed below.

I love sipping on a good drink, but try to stay away from all the sugary drinks out there. And not only are these mocktails tasty, but they are definitely healthier mocktails for you to enjoy too.

So if you’re looking for a lower sugar option when it comes to a tasty and delicious drink, I’ve got you covered! 

Easy Mocktail

This post also contains affiliate links, which means I make a small commission off anything you purchase through here, at no additional cost to you. Please read my full disclosure policy for more details.

Raspberry Lime Mocktail

To make this easy and delicious raspberry lime mocktail, you only need a handful of ingredients listed below: 

  • ​Fresh Raspberries 
  • Fresh Lime Juice
  • Mint
  • Club Soda

First, you need to muddle the fresh raspberries, lime juice from 1/2 a lime, and a couple of mint leaves together. Add some ice to your glass and then top with club soda.

Making Mocktails
Raspberry Lime Mocktail

If you want more raspberry flavor, top it off with some sugar free raspberry syrup. Garnish with more fresh raspberries and a mint leaf and enjoy!

This healthy mocktail is one of my all time favorite summer mocktails! It’s such a refreshing drink full of great flavor.

And I love me some fruity drinks, but I don’t love all the calories and sugar that come with them. So this easy mocktail is definitely one of my all time favorites for that reason alone! 

Easy Raspberry Lime Mocktail

​Cranberry Rosemary Ice Cubes

You may remember my festive cranberry rosemary ice cubes I made last year during the holiday season. These are such a great addition to just simple, sparkling water.

If you want a drink for a special occasion while trying to continue with your healthy eating habits, these would be perfect. Just pour it into a champagne flute to make it even more fancy!

I know the holiday time of year is hard to look after your overall health. There’s always food, drinks, and snacks around.

Cranberry Rosemary Ice Cubes in Sparkling Water

So if you’re trying to have drink options with more healthy ingredients, this is a great way to do so. And you just need 3 simple ingredients to make them: 

  • Fresh Rosemary
  • Fresh Cranberries
  • Pomegranate Juice (You could also use cranberry juice too)
  • Ice Cube Trays

To make these fun ice cubes, place cranberries and rosemary into the ice cube trays. Then, top it off with pomegranate (or cranberry) juice. Place in the freezer and freeze until solid. Add to your favorite sparkling mineral water or drink of choice to make it festive and fun! 

After Freezing Ice Cubes

Sparkling Blood Orange Mocktail 

Y’all may remember my ARMRA colostrum blog post where I was mentioning all the potential benefits you get from taking ARMRA daily.

And not only do you get so many health benefits from taking it, but you can turn it into a fun mocktail as well! ARMRA Colostrum comes in several different flavors, one being blood orange.

Which happens to be my favorite! All you need to do is add 2-3 scoops of ARMRA into plain water. Mix it together with a frother, and then top with some sparkling blood orange water.

The Best Colostrum Brand

My favorite is Polar Seltzer’Ade in Blood Orange Lemonade. Not only does it taste like sparkling lemonade with a hint of blood orange, but it is 0 calories and has no sugar content!

So as far as healthy drinks go, these Seltzer’Ades make for great options! You can add them into mocktail drink recipes like this, or just enjoy them by themselves too! Another great option is the orange vanilla sparkling water too. That tastes just like a cream soda in my opinion!

Blueberry Lime Mocktail

Another one of my favorite mocktail recipes is this blueberry lime mocktail. I love this one because you make your own blueberry simple syrup essentially for it. To do that you just need two ingredients:

  • Fresh Blueberries
  • Truvia Sweetener 

To make the simple syrup, combine 1 cup water, 1 cup Truvia, and the fresh blueberries together in a saucepan. Cook the blueberries down until you get a syrup-like mixture.

Making Simple Syrup
Making Blueberry Simple Syrup

Cool completely and store in a glass container in the fridge until ready to use. Then, to make the mocktail, I like to add this simple syrup, fresh lime juice, and mint to the bottom of a glass and muddle together.

Blueberry Lime Mocktail Recipe

Then, I like to add in some ice and top it with Topo Chico Blueberry Hibiscus Sparkling Water! To garnish, I’ll throw in some more blueberries, lime wedge, and/or sprig of mint. So pretty and delicious too! 

Enjoy These Healthy Mocktail Recipes! 

Well as you can see, when it comes to virgin drinks, they don’t have to be boring and full of sugar! You can make a delicious mocktail that is not only healthy for you, but fun to drink as well.

So instead of regular cocktails, try making some of these mocktails that are perfect for the whole family. If you’re participating in dry January or just being more conscious of your alcohol intake, these recipes are definitely for you to try!

I just love a good low-sugar mocktail full of fresh ingredients. And my DIY herb garden definitely comes in handy for these recipes too. I love being able to just go out on my porch and snip some fresh herbs for my mocktails whenever I want!

If you try out any of these mocktails, let me know! I’d love to know what you think about them!
