Seeing Pink !


I saw this great pink fridge today on the site www.inthekitchen.com
I love pink !!
( Even their mixer on top of the fridge is pink !)

I also have a little girl who has been so pink focused that often I SEE PINK everywhere !

Lately I have been seeing it in the meadows and by the fields in the way of
Red Clover. ( which to me looks pink)


Benefits of Red ( PINK) Clover

Sweet Edible Flowers
Blood Thinner
Greens are great for your body
Stimulates the Immune System
Used to treat Coughs and Congestion
and Respiratory Conditions

The other day I harvested some clover greens and flowers. I made a simple smoothie out of them. It was delicious !
I had a bit left over in the glass and bottom of Vita Mix when I went to go blackberry picking.
When I came home the bits left over were like a pudding. Thick and creamy. I was even able to turn the vitamix container and the glass upsidedown and it did not come out.

Now I know why I was FULL for HOURS after having the smoothie. Just like chia seeds it bulks up.

Here is the simple recipe I made.

Red Clover Smoothie


2 Cups Water
2 cups Red Clover greens and flowers
1 cup fresh blackberries
1 frozen banana
1 tsp spirulina
1 tsp bee pollen

Mix together in blender and serve fresh.

Dani and I are continuing to put time into getting Simple Everyday Raw Recipes to you as soon as we can ! It was so much fun to make recipe, write them out and take the pictures. It is going to be so worth the wait for you to get this fun book !!!

In the meantime, while waiting to get this launched, I JUST got in my own Email box a FREE book from Joe Vitale ( it is a e book version he is offering to help people out).

It is called Attract Money Now.

You can get your very own copy of this book at this link

I just got the copy today, so they are 'live' with it, even if they say it is soon to be launched.


In the first few pages they have the Optimist Creed. How powerful those words can be ! I will post it here for you to read too. It really put a smile on my face.

FEEL the power of how you can make such an Abundant, Healthy, Amazing Life for yourself!!!

The Optimist Creed was written in 1912 by Christian D Larson, and was published in a book called Your Forces and How to Use them.

The Optimist Creed


Promise Yourself

To be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind.

To talk health, happiness, and prosperity to every person you meet.

To make all your friends feel that there is something worthwhile in them.

To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true.

To think only of the best, to work only for the best and to expect only the best.

To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own.

To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future.

To wear a cheerful expression at all times and give a smile to every living creature you meet.

To give so much time to improving yourself that you have no time to criticize others.

To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.

To think well of yourself and to proclaim this fact to the world, not in loud word, but in great deeds.

To live in the faith that the whole world is on your side, so long as you are true to the best that is in you.

Free Downloadable CUTE Grocery Lists

Cute is the best way to describe these great grocery list downloads I found while looking through a curbly post today ! 
 
They can be found at the Kodak download site here.
I love the dancing carrot. 
The bunny and the tortoise are great too.

We are trying to get a bit more organized in our space these days. We have mountains of chocolate molds, cookie cutters, cake pans and cupcake holders to find space and containers for. 

 No shortage of great container sites to breeze through on the web, but most are from the US and I  would like to find a local source. 

It is a good thing it is coming up to back to school time. This is the time of year that the stores start carrying more organizers for the house. So I will keep my eye out on the ads and see what great new products come out to help in organizing and let you know what I find. 

If you know of a great place in Victoria BC to find great organizing products, please comment and let me know !
