Starbucks for Toddlers

No not really…
But we are throwing a little mini barista party for Connor 🙂
Today the stickers came in for the cups I ordered and I think they turned out fab!
 Connor loves coffee.
I only let him have a few sips.  I promise I’m not a crazy Momma!
I wouldn’t want him to be over stimulated or anything???

 I asked him who was on the cup and he proudly said : ” It’s CONNOR!”
 I ordered the plain white coffee cups from EBay (including lids)
 This actual Starbucks logo with Connor in it I made it myself in Photoshop.
I then ordered round glossy stickers from Sticker You and they turned out GREAT!
Hope you all have a great weekend!

Naaa-sty! NOT. Juicing Advice

So as I mentioned in previous posts we’ve started juicing.
We’ve gotten most of our recipes from HERE
We chose the Omega juicer for various reasons.  I’m SO happy we chose this juicer.  It works wonderfully and we’ve been nothing but amazed at how great it works.  The pulp is almost completely dry, which means our fruits and veggies have been squeezed to the max!  If you are looking to start juicing I would highly recommend it 🙂
My lil guy before our hike last night
Ignore all the food on his shirt

Okay here I’m trying the green juice: kale, apples, pineapple, carrots
It was actually pretty good!  I don’t like a lot of pulp, and this drink was really smooth.

You can see how much fruit and veggies are extracted on the left hand side of the juicer….crazy huh?

And we had this BEET-u-TIFUL drink last night
Red drink: spinach, carrots, pear, apples, & beets
(This one had a little more pulp because of the spinach)

I’m glad we started this.  At least I know I am getting the most from my fruits and veggies and it’s probably the healthiest thing I put in my body all day.  The juice is not NEAR as bad as I expected and trust me….I have a high gag reflex.  It in fact is not NASTY at all!!!

Do any of you juice???

If You Give a Kid a Cookie…

Then they will always come to expect one.  And when they don’t get a cookie a nuclear melt down occurs…

Yes-I’ve bribed on occasion.  But seriously this kid gets whooped & doesn’t care anymore!

It’s a tough life.  I get it.
Hopefully he’ll still come feed me when I’m at the old folks home.
  I don’t know if he will once he sees these pictures! Ha ha! 
This is such a fun age 🙂

A Mindless Mind Dump

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm…..
What to blog about???
I have about a bazillion things on my mind, and about 25% of it I retain and remember to blog or talk about with others. The other 75% is are just fleeting thoughts.  Is this a a problem? 
Each week goes by faster and faster & my mind gets older.  Sigh. 
I’m looking forward to our trip to Europe next month.  Counting down the days actually.  I am kind of scared to be on an airplane for 8 hours.  That freaks me out.  I’m going to miss my baby boo SOOOOO much, but I can’t imagine taking him on a flight that long.  I also can’t imagine seeing all the things we want to see while there with our toddler in tow.  I think it will be a good trip for T and I and a much needed just vacay for just the two of us.
So here are some of the fleeting thoughts and photos I’ve had lately 😉
A little sneaky peeky of Connor’s 2nd birthday….which I must say is going to be ORIGINAL.
It’s going to be down right pimpin & fun will be had by all!
I ordered these stickers and plain white coffee cups with lids for the party.

Don’t worry I’m not feeding the kiddos espresso…I was thinking a “pretend coffee” with a hot chocolate bar?

 

We ordered a juicer and are excited to get juicing baby! Woohoo!
I went to Central Market today to pick up some kale, carrots, apples, and things to juice.
I got a little distracted by the Valentines day isle.
I love Central Market!!!!
I have a new favorite pen ya’ll.
It’s the Ink Joy pen.
These pens write super smooth and I love all the colors! 
They are on sale right now for around $3.50 for this package at Target

I won this cardigan from Lands End Canvas over Christmas just for tweeting!  I also won a couple other tops from there and a shirt for Terence.  Not to mention I won a Marley Lilly scarf!  And lots of toys and outfits for Connor.  I have won a LOT of stuff just for tweeting!  It’s awesome ya’ll! 

Me before work and coffee….frazzled much???
The other day I walked into the kitchen and Connor had my hiking boots on 🙂
Silly boy!

I’ve been wearing my glasses to work a lot more lately.  The computer screen is KILLING my eyeballs!  Anyone else have this problem?  Besides the fact that I look uber smart I still feel like a vampire because I want to sit in the dark.  No amount of eye drops helps this problemo and honestly I feel like it’s becoming an issue :/ 

Guess what?
TOMORROW IS FRIDAY!!!!!!
I’m excited about The Firm (New TV show alert!)
I really like it so far!
