New food fetish...

Lately I have been into smoothies, so I thought I would share my new favorite smoothie recipe.

I call it my Regular Smoothie, because it is pretty simple and well, it helps keep you regular!!!! It tastes really good-you really don't notice the wheat germ (pictured above) at all, but it adds protein, fiber, folic acid...all kinds of good stuff.

Stick all this stuff in your blender and that's it:

1 mango (or the equivalent of frozen mango chunks- my preference)

1 small banana

1 kiwi

1/2 cup skim milk

1/2 cup orange juice

1/4 cup prune juice

2 heaping tablespoons wheat germ

ice

almost golf season

I can't wait to get out there and golf this year! Although my pregnant belly is sure to make my swing even worse than it already is! Oh, well- it will be fun anyways. Just no beer in my cooler this year- I'll have to settle for water and 7up!

Anyone who knows me knows that looking cute on the links is one of my favorite parts of golfing, so I am happy to report that I found some cute maternity golf outfits online- pictured above is the miniature golfer maternity tee from milestonesmaternity.com. So cute!

rag rug

My Grandma has given me yet another idea for a craft project! A rag rug! Basically, you just save old fabric, tear it into strips, braid them together, then sew it into a round or oval rug shape. I'm giving it a try! I need to start over becuase I've discovered that its really hard not to make it a bowl shape for some reason. So I guess its not quite as easy as it sounds!

baby on the way!

So, our little baby is on the way, due November 2nd!
I have started a blog for our little mini haley- minihaley.blogspot.com
Then you can keep up to date on all the fun stuff that happens when you're pregnant (don't worry, its not THAT detialed!!!)
enjoy!

new item for sale on my ETSY page!

I am really excited about how these are turning out! I sew a pillow, add a cool vintage family photo, embroider, add emebllishments, and that's it!

I am offering this as a custom item, so I can use any photo or color scheme to make a pillow to fit any decor or preference.

Another idea I am toying with is doing this on a flat piece of fabric, embroidering only then framing. I think I will try that in my own home first and see how it turns out!

BOND- not the movie!

My pilates instructor has this great cd she plays and I really love it! It's four women who make up a string quartet, and they play awesome music (yes, including the Bond movie theme).

Check it out- its great for pilates, yoga, or during a dinner party! www.bondmusic.net

Fascinators

So, I recently wore my fascinator (headband style) for the third time and people always ask me about it. I wore one to my friend Elisabeth's wedding and everyone wanted to know where to get one! They are easy to make, but I got mine on etsy.com - just type fascinator in the search line and you will see hundreds to choose from! Here is a photo of a cute peacock one on a comb that you can find on etsy.com in the tiedandfeathered shop.

These used to be common in the days of hats and are soooooo cute! Don't wear one if you're not okay with people noticing your unique and girly style!!!!
