{hello february}

happy feb all. i like this chilly month...birthdays, valentines day.... It always seem like there are some fun happenings going on.

anyhoos, I am a big fan of the green smoothie. I try to have one a day--Great for breakfast, or a lil snack.. I kind of like getting all these fruits and veggies in one glass of gloop. Don't be fooled by their sludge like appearance, because it tastes surprisingly good. ...

There are tons of different ways to make these, and i kinda go by what i have on hand. or what is in season/ good at the local costco

this is how i like mine lately..

1 frozen banana--peel and slice before freezing

1-1/2 cup of vanilla almond milk

1 of the individual containers of the Chobani greek yogurt--{the very berry kind is what i use most}

1 cup of blueberries and 1 cup strawberries

a handful of ice

and then fill the blender the rest of the way with baby spinach

--you can also add flaxseed or PB as well. The beauty is--everybody likes different things--so heck--add whatever fruit you have/like......you can't go wrong. delicious.

The small fries are a fan too.

lots of the health goodness....

I have been slowly trying to get the playroom put together, so i finally hauled my trash to IKea (and had to drive home in a horrible blizzard) to get some things i have been needing---one of which was these frame shelves that i made into bookshelves. They have a lip, are very long, and easily fit a couple rows of books. I like that the kiddos can see the books, and easily reach them. IKea--you are cool and cheap.
