girly pumpkin decorating

We picked up some white pumpkins at the store. I knew they had to be girly and easy to do. They are pretty tiny so we opted not to carve them. Here is what we came up with. Pink chevron and purple polka dots. Perfect for a little girl and simple enough for them to join in. 

Glitter glue purchased at Michael's for $1.00 a piece. Such a deal!!!

green smoothie revolution

Just about everyone I know started to drink green smoothies. I just did after having to go off of all dairy and soy for my little one (i'm breastfeeding). I was hesitant at first, but WOW they are amazing. My dietician recommended as she was worried I would not be getting enough nutrients with going off of dairy and soy. There are SO many different reciepes out there. Mine is as follows (and is a little fattier than others, but it's good fat!)
