Orange Julius

In honor of lazy Saturday mornings here is a treat has long time been one of my favorites.

I useulally don't use a recipe, but here is a good one from the Blendtec cook book.

2/3 cup milk
2/3 cup water
1/4 cup sugar
6 oz frozen orange juice concentrate
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups ice

Now, if you have a Blendtec, put them in the blender in the order they are listed. If you don't, put them in in the opposite order.  Blend until smooth.

Also, if you have a Blendtec, I  recommend peeling a fresh orange and adding that in. The Blendtec will completely pulverize it, so you don't end up with strings and pulp. Unfortunately a regular blender will not.

 

Enjoy!

French Braid Tips

French braiding.

Personally, I think it is the most useful hair technique I know. 

Here is a link if you don't already know how. If you do, here are my tips to improve your do. 

1. If you are going to do two braids on either side of your head, part you hair into two pig tales. Tie the opposite side off , and start braiding the loose side. This way your part stays nice.

2. I like to French braid my hair when its wet. Sometimes I even run moose through. Both these things better the results. 

3. Grab even pieces as you go. This makes it tighter.

4. If you want to sleep with them in to make your hair wavy, try the inside out french braid. Put curlers on the ends of you braids, this way all your hair looks wavy.

The Summer Before Boys

Do you remember...

The moments when fantasy and real...

coexisted in your world?

Where the world was yours.

Everything was as simple

as it seemed.

Do you remember...

when all this changed?

This is the summer where all this happens for Julia.

But Eliza isn't ready.

Will this tear them apart?

Are they strong enough to make it through?

Arise and Shine Forth

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, “Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?” Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” –Marianne Willamson

Pay it Forward Hat

For Christmas I've got a hat loom!

I have had soooo much fun.

Its addicting.

Because I don't need fifty hats, I have a plan.

I've been making them to donate to a Chemo therapy clinic.

I guess their my pay it forward hats.

I definitely would recommend trying it out.

If you want to make a flower, you can make it on the small loom for premies, you just need to do between 6 to 10 rows, depending on how frilly you want the flower. Bind it off like you do the hat, and add a button!


Th band is simple too, I'll put the link in here.

Have fun!!!
