what are your favorite hikes lately? 🥾 what are your favorite hikes lately? 🥾
the only thing that could ruin these beautiful mom the only thing that could ruin these beautiful moments is forgetting your chargers at home 😭 #ad

i always forget packing my cords for weekend trips & travel AND get annoyed removing them from my normal spots at home (because they’ll never make it back lol)- anyone else?!

this trip i brought the @anker_charging_official power bank & charger

the power bank has multiple charge ports, can charge one device multiple times (powered my phone for my entire trip), and is strong enough to charge a laptop 💻 it has 2 USB-c cords attached (one doubles as a handle!!)

the charger can power multiple devices (including the power bank when it runs out!) & FAST ⚡️. i also love the cute little face that pops up when you plug it in! 

these help me to power all of my devices (phone, camera, action cam, etc) before i need to capture beautiful moments ❤️

comment 🔌 below for the product links plus right now Anker is providing a free photo fridge magnet so you can display your favorite moments

good food tastes even better in the mountains 🌲☕️ good food tastes even better in the mountains 🌲☕️ (ad)

here’s what i packed & ate at the cabin for a weekend:

🧇 breakfast- waffles & fruit
•a simple meal, you could either bring up frozen waffles (i brought protein waffles) or make them your own. i topped mine with maple syrup & @redbarncreameryofficial butter ofc!!! 🧈 for fruit i did bananas 🍌

🥪 lunch- hawaiian roll sliders & salad
•if you haven’t had these- they’re so good! you can add whatever you want to your sliders. i did ham, cheese, mayo, mustard, and some had pepperoni. then you heat up your butter, add herbs, pour it over the top of the buns & pop it in the oven at 350 for 10 minutes for a mild crunch. paired with a caesar salad mix

🥣 dinner- tomato soup & grilled cheese
•a classic I’ll never get sick of- so warm & cozy. i changed it up by using a french baguette & making tiny grilled cheese toasties. cooked with buttaaaa 🧈

☕️ dessert- hot cocoa (not from a packet! melted chocolate, then heated & frothed the milk for a rich drink!)

what food do you like to make on a cabin weekend?? 👇🏼
