as a Philly native, i have a true love for soft pr as a Philly native, i have a true love for soft pretzels embedded in my DNA. 💜 they were everywhere; I LOVED soft pretzels with my cherry water ice— BUT you had to dip it in!! 😂🙌🏾

my favorite pretzel memory is going underground at BNO with my mom. we’d stand in line for our tokens, then make our way over to the counter where they sold chips, soda, and newspapers to get our pretzels. I always got a Snapple apple!!

my whole life I never thought I could find a better pretzel outside of my hometown … that is until I traveled to Europe. I remember becoming a pretzel lush on a quest to consume all the pretzels I could between Berlin & Zurich! lol I won’t say they were lightyears better but the pretzels sure did rival my treasured childhood snack. 

naturally we want our children to experience an ounce of our nostalgia even if they don’t understand. I pray my girl develops fond memories of twisting dough with her pretzel loving mommy, bc we’ve got auntie Anne’s at home 💜🥰

Somebody will say you can’t be a decent mom AND Somebody will say you can’t be a decent mom AND a successful creative, and you need to ignore them people!! Because first of all, you cannot take advice from people who have never done what you want to do. 

and the truth? 
the child learns so much MORE watching me build than she ever would watching me wait. 

I’m creating with her, but I’m building for us. 

That’s me 💜

if you’re a creative mom/ artist mom navigating this wild ride, I see you girl 💜🤗

started my birthday with THEE most flavorful, well started my birthday with THEE most flavorful, well balanced, and indulgent plant-based meal I’ve had in all my 9 vegan years. 

@fitzon4th is an amazing experience nestled in a very cozy and intimate spot. our server Meg was a breath of fresh air, and her energy set the tone for a relaxing delightful evening. 

I left with nothing to critique (which for me is uncommon—IYKYK 😵‍💫🫠

✨it’s not everyday that you get to meet the woman behind the magic, so it was equally great to give Alison her flowers! 💜

i am counting down until my next visit for more toothsome tapas!!
we always speak affirmations along our journey. mo we always speak affirmations along our journey. most times they're rooted in building her confidence, creativity, and self awareness. 

but this morning i needed her to know mommy is happy x healthy... bc motherhood is the trenches and i don't keep that a secret 🤣 

but im motivated to keep up these moments because i often catch her repeating affirmations aloud during her playtime. 
and i love to see it!!! ✨💜
 
have you incorporated positive self talk into your day?

so we got a new bread machine and I have not looke so we got a new bread machine and I have not looked back!!!! 🍞🥖😋

recipe deets: I used a conventional recipe and used my dairy free substitutions. that’s a lot easier than going down the rabbit hole of comparing different vegan/plant-based recipes. plus I lean a lot on what’s been passed down from my mother and my nana.

food is really my love language, and it’s important to know how to ADAPT a recipe and use what you have.
