Starting with breakfast: You have to try this extremely healthy, yet delicious, green juice.

Or you can have this green tropical smoothie.

10 Easy DIY Valentine’s Day Gifts

I can’t believe that St. Valentines Day is already here! The time is flying by faster than I can even imagine. This is one of my favorite times of the year. The snow is starting to melt away (usually) and spring is just around the corner. With the sun shining, and happiness all around this is the perfect time to tell a special person just how much you love them.

Whether you are giving someone something big or just something to show your love and appreciation, now is the time to open your hart and just do something the ones you love.

I have found 10 different DIY gifts that you could give to anyone and everyone on your list of love ones.

These are such a cute way to upcycling paint swatches and a cute card for Valentines Day.

This is a cute idea for a spouse, girlfriend or boyfriend. Take a Mason jar and fill it with colored wooden sticks with different date night ideas. I am totally going to do this for Brandon.

These heart shaped muffins are such a fun way to get kids involved in helping out with Valentines Day gifts. Also it is way easier than you would think.

This muffin is also a great home made gift with a touch of red for a fun Valentines Day gift.

I love this idea for all of the tea drinkers, putting tea in a bag for you SweeTea!

I know that Brandon would personally love this idea! What guy wouldn’t like a bear bouquet?

A spoon full of kisses is great for everyone!

This is the perfect valentines day bouquet of suckers.

Totally corny but so cute!

This is a great for your outdoorsy friends, you are quite the catch, Swedish fish in a mason jar.

So there you have it. Those are my fast and easy Valentine gift ideas. With Valentines day less than a week away, all of these gifts are achievable between now and then.

Do you have any cute Valentine ideas that you would like to share? I am always looking for new and fun things to do.

Thank you for reading and following along.

Green River Float {St Patrick’s Day Treat}

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

I hope you get the chance to sit back and relax a little bit today. I know that I will be enjoying this beautiful day!

I just wanted to share with you one of the treats I like to have on St. Patrick’s Day: A Green River Float! This is one of the only days out of the year that I will have any type of soda. I am not a soda drinker although, I do like it in this.

This recipe is so easy. You will only need 2 things.

The first thing you need is a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

The second thing you are going to need is the Original Green River soda.

Here comes the easy part, pour the soda on to the ice cream!

I am not kidding, it is that easy! Now you can really sit back, relax and enjoy!

Ok, I have to be honest with you, this is a newer tradition for me. This was originally Brandon’s family tradition that I adopted a couple of years ago and now I am sharing it with you! It is just like a Root Beer Float only a Green River Float!

Do you have any traditions that you or your family do for St Patrick’s Day that you would like to share? I would love to learn about them and maybe try them myself.

St Patrick’s Day Smoothie! {The Green Monster}

As most of you I am currently on the Shaklee 180 program and I have been loving it. I am so happy with the results so far and I can’t wait to see I how I look for the wedding. I can really tell that I am a changed women and I can’t even describe the amount of energy I have.

I have 1 to 2 smoothies a day I have become very creative with the different types of smoothies I have been making to help keep me motivated and to change it up from day to day. I also like to get creative for the holidays.

For St Patrick’s Day I am going to be making what I like to call the Green Monster! Don’t be fooled by the color, it is actually very sweet. It has a great combination of fruits and vegetables.

You will need:

1 Cup Milk

2 Scoops of Vanilla Shaklee 180 Smoothee Mix

1/2 Cup Pineapple (Canned or fresh)

1/4 Cup Spinach (Fresh or Frozen)

1/2 Avocado

1/2 Orange

8 Ice Cubes

Blend until thick and creamy! This is a breakfast for champions.

I will be honest with you, when I made this most of my sibling didn’t want to try it because of the color. Once they did, they loved it.

No one except for the baby saw me make this smoothie, so they had to ask what was in it that made it green because they couldn’t tell by the taste! That is what I call hiding veggies!

This is a great way to get all of your morning nutrition in one glass. It has milk, protein, fruits and veggies. It tasted so good and I know that you are going to love it.

If you wouldn’t mind sharing, I would love to know what you and your family actually think of it.

Until next time,
