Two weeks has gone by already since the last life lately post? Really? Somebody pinch me or find a way to slow down time a bit-- goodness! I began last week with going back to school and Alea starting at a brand new daycare. Drop off on her first day went incredibly well. She barely turned around to wave good-bye before running off to play with the other kids. Yep, I cried and she didn't shed a tear! Go figure!
I learned a fun new way of doing my hair-- 4 braids & a blow dryer! Incredibly easy, although I recommend sleeping on them rather than holding a blow dryer up to your head forever. I'm crazy impatient though, so maybe you could handle it!
We also renewed our love for smoothies & Cory decided to freak me out by driving with his knee. I think I approve of the smoothies a little more than the latter. I'm really excited about these fruit & veggie smoothies we've been making. You'll see a little recipe of our favorite on the blog soon, but lately we've been making some pretty interesting concoctions! Alea and I went and picked out a variety of frozen fruit and she loves putting a little bit of everything in hers along with spinach & carrots. And even better? She now eats frozen blueberries like they're candy!
Even though Alea's eating all kinds of fruits & veggies now and having a good ol' time at daycare, she's currently a little under the weather and must have caught the bug that's been flying around. She woke up with a nasty, hoarse cough the other morning, is extremely congested and has been running a temperature as well. Lots of prayers for a healthy baby, please? And also that it doesn't make it's way through the rest of the family. --That reminds me, I better go wash my hands!
P.S. I have a heck of a time making photo collages in Photoshop. There's got to be a better way, right? Any tips?

My mom used to do my hair that way.
ReplyDeleteHope she gets to feeling better.
Love this hair idea!! And I swear that I thought I was following your blog. Well, I am NOW!!! Yeah!! It's so fun and cute! And I am soooooo jealous you got Jenni's camera. What a steal!!!
ReplyDeleteMy husband is a master at the knee driving. I can't do it for the life of me, which I think is mostly why I freak out. But he's really good at it!
ReplyDeleteWe enjoyed smoothies this week too! I don't know why we don't do them more often!
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up with us this week!!
I have always wondered if the braided hair/hair dryer hair-do worked! Looks good! I will have to try it...glad you suggested to sleep on it! It takes a while for my hair to dry!! Stopping by from the Life Lately link up.
ReplyDeleteI've done something similar with Norah's hair...dry hair, braid, then use the flat iron! It works, I think, because she has such thin hair.
ReplyDeleteLove me a green smoothie. Mmmm
I am a total knee driver and sometime I freak myself out :( I am glad that they still publish Highlights Magazine, I loved reading it when I was a kid.
ReplyDeleteThere are tons of free templates if you go here:

I love the braids for waves look, it's great. :) My hair is WAY too short for that right now, but I will be doing that again once it gets long! :)
