This coming July, armed with bottles of water, juice and bien sur, goldfish crackers, Mads and I are joining family & friends on a lovely walk thru Golden Gate Park.

“They” say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day and that it should be consumed within an hour of waking up. Reality for me is either a coffee run on the way to work or a yummy, instant oatmeal once I get to work – which well past the “within the hour of waking up.” I figured since I don’t have one of these – besides trying to eat cereal while driving isn’t something I want to try – I’d whip a quick smoothie to drink on the way to work. (Lucky, too, that I had all I needed for a smoothie.)

PB&J Anytime Smoothie

  • 2/3 cup orange juice
  • 1/2 cup organic yogurt
  • 1 banana, sliced
  • 1/2 cup frozen (or fresh) berries of your choice (today I used frozen organic blueberries and organic rapsberries)
  • 1/3 cup peanut butter
  • 1 cup ice

Place ingredients in a blender and blend for about 1 minute. Yields a little more than 2 cups.

Let me know what you think…

For the longest time, Mads would only wear one pair of shoes. Though she ends up wearing the clothes what I choose for her, when it comes to shoes – if it’s not her Eccos, she adamantly tells me, “no.” Then proceeds to tell me again, “no no no no…” as I put on her non-Ecco shoes.

In preparation for our upcoming summer trips, I decided to buy her some sandals so her little toesies can breathe. We received them the other day just in time for the (more than) sweltering weather we’ve been having.

The Keds were a bit small – but really cute, so we’re exchanging them for a larger size. Again, I got the “no” song as I was having her try them on.

I also got her some water sandals, at D’s suggestion, for our Midwest trip in a couple weeks. Mads started with her “no”, but I distracted her with goldfish crackers and she forgot all about it. (Side note: As Uncle Matt found out last week, goldfish crackers are the way to Mads’ heart.) So, now, she’s literally stomping around in her Timberlands (geez, she’s a label whore in training) around the house and at day care, where they have been playing with agua the past few days.

Last two pairs of shoes from here.

…you remember Charley & Humphrey.
