Not cooperating!

When I quit my job to stay home, I had BIG ideas of what my son and I would do each day. I imagined myself as the new Martha Stewart meets super mom. Well, I can honestly say I am as far from that as possible! Life just hasn't cooperated with my plans. My son, also has his own idea of how to live each day (which is great) and his ideas and mine are rarely the same. Needless to say, I have had to regroup on teaching him at home. This weeks, blocks have been the tops toy of choice. Something so simple can be the best learning activity. Tristan gets so excited when he sees the letter "T" because he thinks that means it is his name or part of it. I will take what I can get and enjoy those moments of learning, even when he does not realize he is learning!

WOW

WOW......

I am going through all of my blogs and realizing how terrible I am at keeping them up! Most of you know, but we recently made a big move. I guess I am just now starting to get completely settled. This now feels like home!

I have been finding some pretty awesome summer activities and recipes and I am going to try to get those to you. I am sure you see lots of things too, so please feel free to share!

Today's favorite was our fresh fruit smoothies. I changed the recipe a bit to make it even healthier, and it was yummy, down to the last drop!

Ingredients:

1 c.  frozen strawberries
1 c.  frozen peaches
1 c.  yogurt
1 c.  Bolthouse fruit juice (has a TON of fruit in one cup of juice)
2 bananas

blueberries add a nice touch, also, I just didn't have any. :)
BLEND AND ENJOY!!!!!
