Flowers in her hair...

Little A got a new flower crown this week and wanted to model it :)

Artist Love

I have been a fan of Emily Martin's work for several years now... I love how whimsical and slightly mysterious it is. Today I'm sharing some of my current favorite pieces.

Green Fig Smoothie

I picked up some frozen green figs at Trader Joes this weekend and thought they'd be perfect for a smoothie. It turned out great, on to the recipe...

Petting Farm

This weekend my friend and I had a girl's day and took our little ones to the local petting farm. Little A had been once last year when she was 2 but didn't want to sit still long enough to get very much out of it, but this year she was much more interested and was able to participate a lot more and they had a blast! She also had her first pony ride and wasn't scared at all :) I kind of wish I had brought my DSLR, but some of the phone pics turned out really cute:

Happy Monday! Today I wanted to share my recipe for this creamy vegan shake. It is full of nutrients and protein and tastes pretty awesome too!

  {hemp milk ice cubes make for extra creamy shakes and smoothies}

Ingredients:

1 frozen banana

5-6 hemp milk (or almond milk) ice cubes

1/2 cup cashews 

2 tablespoons raw cacao powder

1/3 cup chai concentrate (homemade or store bought, I use Pacific organic spicy chai concentrate)

1 cup full fat coconut milk

Maple syrup to taste, I used a little over a tablespoon 

Instructions:

Blend cashews, chai concentrate and coconut milk until smooth. Add in all other ingredients and continue blending until smooth. Enjoy!
