Going Green

Paul and I started to try and eat healthy once we got married, which has made it much easier to teach the boys to eat healthy from the start. We've been on a health kick lately-trying to step it up a notch & involve the boys.

We'd been reading about 'green smoothies' for a few months and finally worked up the courage to try it.

We're hooked! 4 mornings a week we have smoothies with breakfast. Alec LOVES helping me put it together (the spinach & spirulina make it green) & both boys drink it happily. Yes, it looks like sludge, but what do brownies look like? ;)
I also decided to plant an indoor herb garden (I've been put off planting in the desert, but we're going to try it inside anyway).
So, Alec picked out rocks from our backyard for drainage at the bottom, then (handful by little handful) he put in the soil.

We've loved having fresh herbs for meals & Alec's pretty proud of the job he did-as he should be!
