Smoothies and make-shift photoshoot

Today, I decided that, since I had frozen strawberries and pineapple, I was going to make a smoothie for breakfast. Sad to admit, but I had never done this before. I started to make the smoothie, and it took me a while to get it to blended well.  Then, I added some vanilla yogurt bites (freeze dried yogurt bites from Thrive). I opened up the blender, dipped my spoon in and tasted it. It was DELICIOUS! But then, I felt something on my tongue that tasted like some fruit skin that didn't get blended. My thought: Strawberries and Pineapple don't have skins that tough. 

Then I pulled a tiny piece of plastic out of my mouth.

After a moment of "What in the world?"...I realized that when I dumped in the yogurt bites, I must have dumped in the preservative packet as well. Gross.

So, I had to call poison control...on MYSELF. 

All is well, though. Turns out, those packets don't really harm you. She said worst case scenario would be a stomachache.

Sad that I had to waste the good fruit..but luckily I had enough to make another batch once I cleaned out the first try.

And it was totally worth it.

Even Grace couldn't get enough of it! 

Also, I had grand ambitions of having a 'photoshoot' of our family this morning. I bought a Groupon a while ago for a canvas print, but it expires in February. I had a certain thing in mind for the canvas, so I was hoping to go out and self timer us a family portrait.

But today's weather had other plans. Like....RAIN. ALL. DAY.

So, since I had actually put on makeup, and blow dried my hair (a rare occurrence at my house) I decided to take a few snapshots with Grace. 

And, although they aren't fancy or even that great...I love them.

But mostly...I love HER.
