I heart U



I love Valentine's day. Even when I was single, I reveled in thought of romance and joy and the sticky sweet love that this day inspires. Yes, there are those who would dare de-wing cupid by saying that it's a made up holiday, and maybe they are right. Maybe it's ok though. Maybe the world needs a little push to show the love now and then.

As for me, I have finally found the true meaning of love. It has taken me quite some time, bad relationships and personal growth to see what love really can be and should be. So Happy Love Day to my wonderful husband who has given me more than I thought I deserved and everything I need. You healed my heart and gave me a new life. For that, I can never love you enough. And to my beautiful daughter, who showed me that love can be total and completely encompassing. One day, I hope you know how much I love you.

Sunrise Smoothie Recipe

Everyone loves a good smoothie. They are healthy and a great way to get your fruit and dairy intact for the day. Here is a really good recipe for one that I enjoy for b-fast.

-----

2 cups Ice
1 cup oj
1 cup vanilla yogurt
1 cup pineapple chunks
1/2 banana

*place all ingredients into blender and blend until smooth.
*Pour into a tall glass, insert straw and enjoy!


The great thing about smoothies is that they are totally customizable. You can add what ever combination of fruit you want! You can also add supplemental powders too!
