| Well, if you know me, you know that I start every morning with a smoothie! I love that time to get in a great serving of fruits and vegetables! I also make a REALLY large batch. I put my Sunday batch into plastic cups and straight to the freezer. Every morning around 6:30, I pull a smoothie out of the freezer and take it with me to school. Then around 8:00 I eat it at my desk! I never actually measure what I put in, but here are some approximates! 🙂  I start by putting everything into my Vitamix. Yes, they are expensive. But, yes, they are completely worth it. My Vitamix is over 15 years old and it won’t die! I mean, secretly, I would like it to die because I would love more options than my old Vitamix has! But, no! It won’t quit! And also, their customer service is wonderful! Here are the ingredients I use. Because I make a smoothie for the whole week, this recipe will make a large portion big enough to serve 5-6 smoothies. Start by blending these ingredients: 20 ounces of Almond Milk (any milk is fine) Big handful of spinach or kale 1/2 cup of Coconut oil (Optional) 3 scoops of protein powder (I use Beachbody’s Vanilla Vegan) After the above ingredients are smooth, add the frozen fruit. I use: 2 Frozen Bananas 1/2 cup or so of Frozen Blueberries 1/2 cup or so of Frozen Strawberries Another fruit option: 2 Frozen Bananas 1/2 cup or so of Frozen Mango 1/2 cup or so of Frozen Peaches Blend and enjoy! Start your morning off right! Now, don’t stop following me after you read this! 😉 But…. I don’t like chocolate! I know, I know! It’s crazy! But my family does! So sometimes after I get my smoothie scooped out, I will add a couple tablespoons of Cocoa Powder. My kids think they are drinking a chocolate milkshake! MOM WIN! |

When American Girl Doll reached out to do a post with Lucy, it was a no-brainer! This girl loves her AG Dolls so much and plays with them nearly every day! My niece, Jada, loves them just as much! Last year for their birthdays, we went to Chicago to visit the American Girl Doll store and eat lunch in their restaurant! If you have never taken your sweet girl and her doll to lunch there, it is something I would HIGHLY recommend doing! The girls (and their dolls!) were treated like princesses! Plus, the food was great too! The girls both love their Truly Me dolls – they are designed to look like each girl!
The weather in Indiana is finally making a turn for the better! Man, this has been the rainiest spring I can remember! I am excited to be partnering with Sole Society to bring you a few of my new favorite accessories for summer!

No matter how big or small or short or tall, we all struggle with finding a great suit to wear in the summer! As women, it is easy to find fault in our bodies. I am totally guilty! When I see a picture of myself, I am my biggest critic. I nitpick everything! Why do we do that? I would never look at another woman and think, “Her stomach is not flat enough!” or “Her legs have too much fat!” or “Yuck! Stretch marks!” So, stop being ashamed of any imperfection you think you have and get out there and enjoy some fun in the sun with your family! I am excited to be partnering with Walmart to share with you some affordable, fashionable, and comfortable swimwear for this summer! With their We Dress America campaign, you can have this season’s hottest trends at affordable prices!
When I was teaching first grade, I remember kids coming up to me and saying, “Mrs. Post, Timmy said the ‘S’ word!” After investigating, most of the time, that “S” word turned out to be “stupid” or “shut up”!

When I smelled Versace Eros, it totally reminded me of Briton! And since I never know what to get him for Father’s Day, I was thrilled that Macy’s had a great gift set at an even better price! I have been wearing Versace Bright Crystal for years and still love the way it smells!
When I first tried this dress on in Target, I instantly loved it! It is so comfortable and versatile! Plus…… POCKETS! The waistline is so slimming! It’s not a knit material which makes it a little dressier to wear our or to work! I find this dress to be true to size and am wearing the small.
