Fun Things!

For Valentine's Day Reuben and I went to Color Me Mine and made some fun stuff. I made a "You are Special" plate which doesn't look at all like the one I grew up with but I LOVE yellow so it works. When it's someone's Birthday or something special happens then they get to eat off this plate.
Reuben made a toothbrush holder. First we have our initials, followed by the killer cavity and the very muscly toothbrush. He's a funny guy.



Now for one of our favorite treats!

When I was younger I worked at Jamba Juice and turned my skin orange because I drank carrot juice every day. In hopes to get Reuben to drink and LIKE carrot juice I whipped up this little drink. It's just 16 oz. of juiced carrot juice, 10 frozen strawberries or about a cup of other frozen berries. That's it! You can't even taste the carrot:)
WHY CARROT JUICE?
* Richest source of vitamin A
* Improves skin
* Strengthens bones, teeth, and hair
* Encourages collagen production (keeps those wrinkles away)
* Helps fight cancer. Prevents your normal cells from producing free radicals which are basically mutations in your DNA.

  3. Cute plate, but I love the advertisement for carrots. You should do Public Service Announcements for them.

  4. Super Cute! I love the "special" plate! So I totally grew up drinking carrot juice, and it turned my skin orange in High School...how random is that. In fact Aubrey and I juiced up a couple the other day in hopes that she would like it, with no such luck! It's good stuff!

  5. Really fun color me mine dishes! So I totally saw you in passing in Provo the other week. I was in town for all of 8 hours and passed you in the parking lot by Barnes and Noble. It was one of those moments where I realized it was you right after we passed you! So a question about your smoothie, do you juice your own carrots? It looks yummy. I've been making a similar one with OJ and spinach and frozen fruit.

  6. To make that carrot drink you would need your own juicer:)

  7. I almost died laughing thinking about you and your love of carrots. I remember your stories of your skin turning orange because you loved carrots so much. I really liked that carrot and onion soup you used to make. Can you send me that recipe when you have a "spare" moment?! Thanks, Kira :) Have you decided on a name for your little boy?
