I published this recipe back in 2019 and it is one I have been going back to during my 3rd trimester of pregnancy. This dessert is great for anyone trying to keep healthy but have a big sweet tooth like myself. These date balls seriously taste like brownie batter but are sugar free and carb free, they are so healthy and very delicious!

Since being pregnant, I knew I would be needing to get my dates in as I geared up for the delivery and I tried another recipe I had found which is a date cut in half with some peanut butter and a chocolate chip on top. I tried this but really wasn't a fan and knowing how good my recipe was using dates I decided it's just simply the best way to eat dates!

So for my pregnant mama's or anyone looking for a healthy dessert, head below for the recipe!

How easy is that?! That is just one reason why I love this recipe and of course because they taste light a naughty treat but are not!

If you try this treat at home make sure to post it on Instagram and tag me in your picture! I would love to see!

When we were in Vegas for our baby shower, I really wanted to kill 2 birds with one stone so I also scheduled our maternity shoot. David's cousin, since he was coming to shoot the baby shower agreed to do a maternity shoot up at red rock and made all of my golden hour dreams come true!

I sent him some inspiration photos that really screamed golden hour and I think that we met our goal! I really love how these photos turned out and cant wait to show them one day to our boy.

As I was getting dressed, I put on heels that would have looked so cute with dress but couldn't imagine the thought of me trying to walk in the desert with them so I ended up putting my sneakers and high white dad socks on that you'll see in this post and although I did not want them shot, we did get a few with my dad sneaks so enjoy the site of me choosing comfort over looks. A GIRLS GOTTA DO WHAT A GIRLS GOTTA DO!

After receiving the photos I wanted to see what a few of them looked like in black and white so the following photos are with my edits but thought they were also worth sharing.

These photos turned out exactly how I dreamed they would and I know I will forever look back on them and cherish these moments.

Especially during pregnancy I have been LOVING avocado toast, specifically with hard boiled eggs on top (omg my mouth is watering as i write that sentence) but let's be honest when did I not love avocado toast?

I know most people in the world love a good Avo toast too and guys, I am not lying. I have the best Smashed Avo Recipe for your next avo toast so don't pass this up because once you try this recipe, I can almost guarantee you'll never need another.

I have been using this recipe for nearly 7 years and I have not strayed. The thing I love about this recipe is the tang from the lime, it makes the biggest difference. Another ingredient I love using in my smashed avocado is Lawry's Seasoned Salt. It adds so much taste to anything and is a good swap for just your normal table salt.
