green is my favorite color

For Christmas my parents gave each family one of these beauties! I'm in love. Here comes the homeade goodness. (maybe)

One of my friends wrote a blog post about how her little family has started to drink green drinks from the greensmoothiegirl.com . I thought I'd give it a try since I'm kinda weird and like 'green' drinks. Like the Odwalla green ones and this mix that Seth used to buy from Good Earth that was pretty much straight up greens made into powder. Anywhoo... The Bosch blender has been awesome to make them since my old blender is well... ooooolllld. I really am liking them and I know I don't eat enough fruits and veges anyway so it's a great way to get all your servings in a smoothie and wala! You're good to go for the day. What's in them you may ask? Well this is what I normally put in mine. Spinach, Kale, collards, carrots Banana, Apple, blueberries, blackberries, cup a water. Sometimes frozen strawberries/raspberries. Sometimes a little raspberry yogurt becuase depending on the amount of greens I use, it needs a little sweetening. The green smoothie girl uses agave and other natural sweeteners but I haven't gotten to that point yet =) That wasn't a little bit of a sales pitch now was it? ;)

Here's Warren enjoying a taste of the first one I made =)   Most days he really likes them.

and... sometimes I get brave and decide I want to sew. So here is it. I should have taken a before picture but it was pretty much a downeast long sleeve shirt from when they first started downeast, so it was kind of mis-shappen (the side stitching wasn't straight)  so I didn't wear it a ton. I made it into a ruffle v neck tank. Got the idea from  Made by Lex. Kinda fun for my first 'refashion'!  I had just woken up from a nap, so my face got cropped out. :)
