1. Thank you all so much for your sweet and thoughtful comments on yesterday’s post. I appreciated so much the stories you shared. Your words were so uplifting – thank you!
2. Ballard Designs asked me to help them celebrate their 30th birthday!
You know how much I love me some Ballard! Read all about their 30th birthday celebration here.
3. I’ve been trying to start drinking more vegetable/fruit juices – specifically green juices, but I can’t seem to persuade my taste buds.
Most of them taste pretty disgusting to me! I don’t know if it’s a mental thing or not, but I do have a hard time with the color. A number of peeps on instagram mentioned that home made green juice tastes better than store bought, but I’m not sure I want to invest in a juicer. So what do you think? Do you drink green juice? Do you have a particular brand you like or do you make yours at home? Should I just go ahead and get a juicer? If so, which brand? I’d love to hear your thoughts on this! Obviously, I’m way over thinking it. 😉
4. Last week I told you all that my hub surprised me with a girls trip to The Breakers. I think you all got the wrong idea. He did surprise me as in I had no idea I was going until 2 days before. He used skymiles to get me a plane ticket to fly down to meet my girlfriend who was going to be there for a work meeting. She actually works for one of the owners of The Breakers. She really only had one meeting during the 3 days that we were there, so mostly we just played and relaxed. I just wanted to clarify that my hub, while completely awesome and thoughtful, didn’t pay for such an elaborate excursion. I don’t want y’all thinking we’re high rollers or something. 😉
Now that we got that out of the way, check out where I slept kid and husband free for 3 nights!
It was glorious! And the view from our room wasn’t too bad either.
Sometimes it’s nice to just be a girl again. No laundry to do or homework to help with or dinner to cook, just time to relax. It was a great time, but I was really glad to see my favorite peeps again.
I’m looking forward to a project filled weekend at home! What are you up to this weekend?
If you use a juicer, then you don't get the much-needed fiber. We drink our own homemade smoothies every day, but we puree everything to drinking consistency in the blender. We had a juicer once. It was too big to store easily and a bear to clean. When we learned about the fiber thing, we donated it to Goodwill.
