Snowed in with Juice

via

Thanks to this juicer and the Hubs, we've been snowed in with deliciously healthy juice!  I'm so excited.  I haven't had fresh juice since Austin.  Whole Foods in Washington decided to be anti-juice and smoothie bar.  My body is thanking me for grabbing the fruit and veggies...and leaving the alcohol behind (although some wine would be nice).  Yes, you heard that right -- left the alcohol behind.  I thought it would be a nice forced healthy cleanse.

Although, in an attempt to feed my sweet tooth, I made some failed blueberry bread.  In my mind, this would be like banana bread (cake-like) just with blueberries.  So wrong.  It wasn't very sweet. In fact, it was terrible.

We're now receiving freezing rain reports, high wind alerts and power outage warnings.  Nothing a nice hot bowl of chili can't cure.  It's funny reading Facebook and seeing everyone whine about being snowed in.  I, on the other hand, have loved spending time as a full family.  It's not often we're together for days at a time, all day long.  We've built forts, watched old VHS tapes and read so many books. Maddi is fascinated with books. I love it.  I didn't like reading until my twenties  We used to use our children's books at pretend ice skates on our linoleum kitchen floor. Yes, my siblings and I have great imaginations.

If you're in Washington, I hope you're safe and warm.  If you're in a sunnier warmer part of the country, I hope you're soaking up some vitamin D. If you're in an area way colder than Seattle, I hope you're laughing at Seattle's Snowmaggedon.

xoxo, T

P.S. - It's been snowing all day here.  Not raining. Not freezing raining. Just fluffy snow.
