Banana and Pineapple Smoothie. Almond

We are loving smoothie lately. I don't add sugar or ice cream or anything like that.. I would like to say my smoothies are pretty healthy. I normally just use what I have on hand. I don't really make a plan for what I want to make and I don't keep track of how much I'm putting in. 

Please feel free to share your smoothie ideas :)

Almond milk, 2% milk, Fresh Aloe Vera, celery,  Carrot, Banana, Pineapple, Coconut Oil.

Oh and Orange Juice

I think I added something else to this which is why it is pink but I just don't remember what. SORRY!!!

This was a super yummy smoothie. :)

Inside Garden.

Hey every one. :) I was in Dollar Tree the other day and I saw they had these Mini Green Houses for $1 each so I got the 3 you see in the 1st pic. Then I went to Target and they also had some for $1 so I got the 2 you see in the 2nd pic. If you keep scrolling down you will see what all these came with and how easy they are to use. 

Pink Cosmos.Tomatoes. Cucumber

Cilantro. Sweet  Basil 

Place the growing medium pellets in a bowl or cup. Add approximately 6 tablespoons lukewarm water. Let the pellets absorb the water . Use a work to fluff . Put the growing medium in the pot. Sow only 10 seeds in the pot and use the extra seeds in your garden. Place the seeds on top and lightly press the seeds into the growing medium. Cover with lid and plac in a sunny Location. Keep moist. Transplant when the plants are 3" tall to a larger pot or to your garden. Be sure to add plant food when plants are 3' tall.

All done

All done. I love these. We do have a big garden in the back yard and once these are big enough they will be moved to it.


Update :)

So it's been a little while since we planted these and I have to say I love the little green house.
Now instead of putting these into the ground with everything else I'm going to try the pallet garden.

Cucumber

Pink Cosmos

After I put the Pink Cosmos into the pot above I planted sweet peas :)

Outside Sensory Bin

So after a lot of rain we finally got a day of sun shine :) After being stuck in the house for so long I wanted to do a sensory bin using things from outside. I got Nita to take Eli and Ray outside with buckets to pick some flowers and get some grass. While they did that I was inside making a bird nest using pine needles and plastic eggs .. After the boys played with the bin I put everything but the eggs into our compost bin so it was a win. win.

We also put in plastic bugs.

Fun at the park.

We took the kids to the park the other day for a picnic. Eli had a PB&J and everyone had a sub from Subway.After lunch we let them kids play for a little while. That's really it this is just something we like to do in the summer. :) Do you ever take your kids o the park?
