Well, she's been making green juice for her momma and she loves it too! Everyday for breakfast, I partake in a lovely green juice made up of a base of 1 large cucumber and 4 stalks of celery. From there, I add anything from sunflower sprouts, brocolli stems, beet greens, romaine, spinach, kale or whatever else I have on hand! My personal favorite is the base plus beet greens (SO yummy and makes the juice a gorgeous red color!), and sunflower sprouts. It usually yields 16-18 ounces of goodness but today we got 20 ounces of love! It is a wonderful, healing start to my day and I have the amazing
Kris Carr to thank for it. Today marks the end of the 21 day cleanse I did from her book
Crazy Sexy Diet. I am down about 9 pounds and feeling fantastic. I love her plan, her book,
her movie and feel over all so much healthier than I did 3 weeks ago. I have a feeling 2012 is going to be a great year! Especially with such a great "juicer" in the house. :)
I should mention, I do not have a fancy juicer just yet. Steve had an old Krups model collecting dust that I have been using for the last 3 weeks. I have grown to love the taste of the juice and all the amazing nutrients it is providing me but I do plan on upgrading our juicer soon!

Madison's birth announcement is finally done. We thought about just skipping it because we waited too long, but I realized it didn't matter when we did it, as long as we did it and used a really early photo. I know she will love to have this when she is older. She was 4 days old in this photo and it really feels like yesterday. We are cherishing every moment with her as time is just flying by and she is growing right in front of our eyes.
