i was grabbing my hardly used camera and running out the door, so i clicked a random picture to make sure there was a card inside. i almost hit delete when i realized, A the light looks really good in here right now, and B this is my hub. this is where i cook, organize my day, make lists, throw my mail, put most things that need to go away at a later time. it's pretty messy but then again, so is life. i love my hub and i love my life.

my family has drank more smoothies in the last few weeks than i can count! thank goodness for costco! i have been pretty addicted to boba for awhile now, always craving my favorite avocado smoothie with boba. i finally decided to start making my own instead of forking out $5 a drink! yay! but of course, i had to mix it up a bit.
banana, oatmeal, flaxseed, peanut butter, almond milk. i loved. the family did not. ahhh adding the recipes in now and see she called it milkshake, which seems more sinful than a smoothie! hahah. here's the link.
then i had to try one of the green smoothies i've heard so many raves about. kale, spinach, pear, almond milk. i swear i have more energy in the day when i drink one of these. this is the recipe i first tried here. since then i've tweaked it since i ran out of pears, so without pears and without the honey- i use agave nectar. and i also add a tablespoon of trader joes organic vanilla yogurt, just to cut the leafyness of it all. and because i am obsessed with that yogurt, being a anti dairy person myself, that's a pretty big thing.
next up, one of my top faves: blackberry, vanilla yogurt, almond milk and CINNAMON. heaven! one of elsie's faves too! here's the recipe for this one here.
and last, the whole reason i got on this kick: avocado, milk and sugar. doesn't get any better than this! eta the recipe, i just eyeball it. a cup of milk and half an avocado and a tsp agave nectar and ice.
and a few shots of the whole reason i am drink obsessed now:
this one is next on my list!
and i didn't use my phone camera! and really the only reason i didn't was because i couldn't find my phone anywhere and for some strange reason my real camera was sitting right next to me. strange since i never use it! anyways. i wanted to capture this sweet moment of the quiet child reading a book in her jammies with the lovely light coming through.....
but then she spied me and i got these others in result:
and when i begged and pleaded for a regular smile or not even a smile, just to look at me, i get teenager stuck in a 5 year old body face:
and more proof of when i do get the camera out, i don't even know when this was, it was just on the card:
sigh.
it's 2012 and that picture was a few years ago. this is how i feel about time going by so quickly!
HA! we enjoyed our holidays at home in sunny southern california with friends and family. good times. alas, here are my 2 obligatory new year's resolutions: exercise and blog more. you know, same ol same ol :)
happy new year!
