Happy Earth Day



Today is Earth Day. I need to go to the market today, so we are walking there. I am carrying my own cloth bags to the market. I am buying locally grown, organic for you know what......my green smoothies. Malachy calls ME Green Smoothie Girl!! Okay, not only do I love the green smoothies, but Mark does too!!! Matthew thinks they taste great and Malachy already had 3 smoothies. He had 2 yesterday. I am so excited. Especially for Mark to be drinking them. He does not eat anything green. Not even green candy....okay, I don't like green candy either, but whatever. I put in a huge amount of spinach into their smoothie and when they finished, Malachy asked for a second one.

We are only on day 3 so there are no results to talk about now, but I think there will be soon. I am hoping that Mark's candy/carb cravings will lessen. Candy and carbs are the last thing he needs. Today I am making green lemonade!! Okay, 1 fuji apple, 1/2 lemon, spinach, romaine, water....done! It is so refreshing and delicious. I tell you, I never thought I would have said that last statement when looking at the drink, but boy are they good. How else do you think that I can get my kids to drink them! It doesn't even bother them that it is somewhat GREEN looking. They are THAT good and of course I used ALL organic ingredients.

So Happy Earth Day. Do something good for our Mother Earth!

Hey! How are you, Corinne?

Hope you are having a great spring!

So, do you have any idea what's going on for the next Dishcloth Swap? I tried to go to the blog but it seems to no longer exist? The hell?

Anyway, hope all is well with you and yours!
