Banana, kale and berry Hemp Smoothie

I make smoothies daily and usually I just throw whatever fruits and veggies I have in a blender and call it a day. They almost always turn out great!  My secret tip for always making a smoothie delicious : adding a banana and some vanilla yogurt ! I swear anytime I have thrown random produce into my blender it always turns out so good because of those two ingredients!

 

Since I never measure or really think about what I am adding to my smoothies, I decided to finally start measuring ingredients and writing down what I was adding to my smoothies. I wanted to share some of these delicious creations with you! I will be sharing lots of my favorite smoothie recipes with you all over the next few weeks.

The one I made today was with produce I already have. ( I get a weekly order from Door To Door Organics so I always have fresh local organic produce in the house!) I use all organic ingredients and only add a tiny bit of dairy to my smoothies. If you want to emit dairy all together there are some really yummy non-dairy “yogurt” options.

I use hemp powder a lot in my smoothies because its is packed full of magnesium, fiber and omega fatty acids. You can find it here.

I buy the large bag of mixed frozen berries from Costco because I use them so much in smoothies.  They are always so fresh tasting !

For the yogurt I always buy Stonyfield low-fat organic french vanilla. You can check that out here.

If you make a lot of smoothies or you just eat a lot of produce, I really recommend checking out Door to Door Organics! I have been SO impressed with the quality of the food and how great the prices are too. For $15 off your first box comment below! I can send you a code via email.

    I had no idea hemp powder was so beneficial to your health. I’m always skipping breakfast, smoothies are a great on the go way to still get in that meal. Excited to try this recipe!

    We love smoothies, especially in the warmer months. My girls always seem hungrier after playing outside. And you’re right–banana and vanilla yogurt make everything taste better!

Home education with a busy crazy toddler... oh, th Home education with a busy crazy toddler... oh, the struggle is real 😆 
He craves constant attention, needs a snack every 35 minutes, wants to climb on everything and everyone around him, and he cannot communicate his needs yet,  but has THE biggest emotions. 
My older son struggles with concentrating on his work anyways, so throw a loud toddler in the mix that just wants brother to play with him... it can feel chaotic. 

So we take lots of wiggle and play breaks and it really benefits us all. I get 10 min to clean up or kick my feet up. The boys get to spend quality time together, use their imaginations, run around, and get their wiggles out. 
And I'm trying to get better at setting up mess-free activities and busy work for Theo to keep him occupied for longer. 
It hit me today as I observed this absolutely adorable scene of them playing restaurant while I made lunch... 
If Liam was in school, Theo would only see him a few hours a day during the week and on weekends. They'd both be missing out on so much. 

I know that's "normal" for any family's that choose public school, and there's of course nothing wrong with that at all. I'm just glad we all get to spend our days together, even when they're difficult. 

This life we have chosen can be so draining. I am really starting to feel the exhaustion that comes along with pregnancy these days. But I see so many beautiful moments like this throughout the week, and I feel very blessed indeed that we get to do life this way.
Yesterday we visited @seaquestlynchburg and had su Yesterday we visited @seaquestlynchburg and had such an amazing time ! The highlights were the stingrays showing off and squirting water at us, and the birds eating out of Liam's hand. For Theodore, it was all just fascinating. Every animal got an "ooo" and "awww" and wide eyes and a pudgy little finger pointing at it or a little hand excitedly waving high. 
Then we spent some time at the little toddler play area in the mall where Theo hugged every kid there and had the biggest smile on his face the whole time. 
I would say this week's homeschool field trip was a success!
Next week we're checking out our local library, and the week after that, the children's museum.
It's always so fun to explore a new area. ☺️

I don't always get a few quiet moments to myself, I don't always get a few quiet moments to myself, but when I do, I make the most of it !
I put on a homemaker or homesteading podcast, light a candle, sip hot tea... 
It gives me time to slow down and take deep breaths, and relax a bit. (And I'll be honest, this time often also has a good snack involved or some dark chocolate I hid on the top shelf of the pantry 😆) 

I spent some time yesterday during nap time restocking some herbs in my new apothecary cabinet. I filled jars of nettle, peppermint, red raspberry leaf, and rosemary. These dark amber jars are on Amazon and pretty perfect for storing herbs ! 
I'm dreaming of what herbs I'll be drying from my garden to add to these shelves 🤩

I'm curious- if you use herbs in your home, what are your top 3 most used ?
S'mores, burning brush, snuggling up with a blanke S'mores, burning brush, snuggling up with a blanket, and admiring our new house on the hill. 

We've been busy setting up our new home, finding places for everything, and thrifting some furniture. Theo is already use to the new house and his new room. He loves the playroom in the basement and having a real bath tub! 
Liam had his first playdate on Friday, and we're planning out his lego table this week. Nate has been busy fixing things around the house and helping me hang art and things all over. 
 It feels good to be finding a new rythm again. To have a regular bath night, and cooking big meals we eat around the table my grandpa built. We're dreaming of the garden this Spring, what fencing we can put up for animals, what color to paint the house... 
and it just feels so so good to be in our own home again where we can do what we want and plan and dream for the future.
We got this gorgeous 1964 Thomasville china hutch We got this gorgeous 1964 Thomasville china hutch for $100 off FB marketplace! 🤩 It took 2 trips an hour away to bring this big gal home. 
This is by far my most favorite piece of furniture I've ever owned. My original plan for this piece was to hold and display all my china, tea cups, and table linens. 
But I also needed storage for all my herbs, herbal books, tinctures, salves, etc. I added a few jars of herbs and knew this needed to be a moody apothecary cabinet stat! 
I threw a bunch of other decor and little things I love in there. I'm sure I'll rearrange it a dozen times before I love it. My goal is for two whole shelves to be filled with dried herbs from our garden by Fall. 🤍
I've got candles in a drawer, tablecloths in another, and the top drawer is random things, supplies and tinctures. The right cupboard is holding all my vases & jars,  and the left cupboard is holding all my herbal and homesteading magazines.
 
What is the best FB marketplace find you've scored ?? 
I think this is my favorite!
