From old to new

Thursday, January 19, 2012

I knew from the very beginning of construction that I wanted a claw foot bathtub in the master bathroom. And it just so happened that in the house plans there was the perfect spot for one. We came across an original iron one with the original claw feet back sometime last year. It was in terrible condition, though. The bathtub was probably a hundred years old or more. But we knew it was the one. We had a plan for that old rusted worn out tub. Here’s some of the process. I think Joe did a beautiful job. Now we just need to get it put in it’s place in the bathroom… and for the plumber to put on the fixtures and hook it up to water!

P.S. Joe, Grayson, and I may be moving and getting a new baby sometime in the near future.

A new year often brings new possibilities and goals. I’ve decided to define this year with just one single word. I have known the feeling that I want to carry throughout 2012, but the word just hadn’t come to me yet. Until today…

We are all unique and special. Such as the way that we think. Some people think in words, some people think in patterns, some people think in pictures. We all have different traits…. different strengths and weaknesses. Each and every one of us are different, but not less. We each have a gift. We each ARE a GIFT.

A New Year and A New Ritual

Tuesday, January 3, 2012

I have heard so much about green smoothies for awhile now. I forgot where I first saw them, really. I think it was sometime last year on a blog or somewhere on the internet. I have read that they are really packed with tons of nutrients and are just about the healthiest thing you can put in your body…. really because of one key ingredient. KALE. I had pinned a few different recipes on Pinterest. I have found that there are tons of different ways to make a green smoothie, and many different variations. I decided to try a simple one. I actually changed it from the original recipe just a little — to simply make it a tad bit more healthy. I had this for dinner tonight. It was my meal. I told Joe that it was so very good, that I think that it may be my new daily ritual for this new year. Here’s how I made my green smoothie.

1 green apple
1 banana
1/4 cup of water
A ton of kale (probably around 3-4 cups or so)
A ton of ice

Blend and enjoy, while feeling all the richness of the nutrients your body is soaking in.

Let me know if you try it, and what you think…. and do you have any new rituals for the new year?!
