No more bottles!!

After one day of boot camp, landon is no longer on bottles and is happily chugging his milk through a straw :)

Valpo trip

Moved little Lizzie into school last weekend. We always have a fun time going back there because it was where Chris and I first met :)

A few pics from our trip to Indiana:

of course we made a pit stop

learning to drive

Blueberry Banana Smoothie

What You'll Need: (1 serving)

- 1 banana

- 3/4 Cup fresh or frozen blueberries

- 3/4 Cup milk

- 4 ice cubes or 1/2 cup crushed ice

- 3 teaspoons of agave syrup (or if you don't have this, honey)

These are seriously all the ingredients. 

You'll definitely want to double for more than one person or if you want a large smoothie.

Side note: The Blue Agave I have here is awesome - you can find it at Costco. It is an all natural multi-purpose sweetener made from agave nectar, it's organic, and is 25% sweeter than sugar, so you need less. It's also a low glycemic index (GI) sweetener, so it is slowly absorbed into the body preventing spikes in blood sugar.

You can also throw in a few dollups of vanilla yogurt if you want. Other really good add-ins include strawberries, orange juice, or a few blackberries* (*really good).

Directions:

- throw everything in the blender and blend

- garnish with 2-3 fresh blueberries & serve to someone you love in bed <3

Fall Forward

Summer is coming to an end, which means packing away the sun hats and flip flops and bringing out the sneakers and jeans. Now that Landon is WALKING, I'm debating which pair of shoes he's going to rock... these Tiny Toms:

or these little Converse Chuck Taylors:

In back-to-school spirit, I love this little stool:

& this little hedgehog pencil holder:

I have also been on the hunt for a bookcase for landon's room to store his ever-growing book and toy collection - I want something similar to this:

And my mind is already racing with ideas for Halloween-

Max from Where the Wild Things Are

& if you can't get enough of this little tush.......
