Sunlit Snapshots

Here is a peak at our new living room. :)

The sunlight coming in my window was too beautiful not to share. I hope your night is going well!

Sweet Smoothie

Since I work weird hours as a restaurant host (over lunch, or through dinner) I have a very interesting eating schedule. By the time I am done with work, I am either SUPER hungry, or not hungry enough to eat something - and then eat again at a normal meal time. Enter the smoothie.

When I get home, it is so easy to whip up a fruit smoothie (under 5 minutes) and it fills me up without making me feel guilty for snacking. I make the process easier when I come home from grocery shopping by slicing up fresh fruit, washing it, and then freezing it in portion sizes.

I love to mix my fruits so that I get a different taste each time I make a smoothie. Some of my favorite combinations are Raspberry Peach, Orange Banana, Banana Berry. There are really no limits.

Here is my recipe for smoothie. It is just the basics, so you can be creative with your own combinations!

Sweet Smoothie:

1 Cup Frozen Fruit (any combination)
1/3 Cup Greek Yogurt
1/4 - 1/2 Juice or 1% Milk (Really, just enough to make a smoothie consistency)
1 Tbs Honey

There you have it! Blend it up until you can't stand it anymore....and then slurp to your heart's content.

P.S. Today I am drinking Raspberry Peach with Orange Juice. So yummy!

Love,
Miranda

Back in The Saddle Again

I know, I know. It's been a while.

It happens. :)

There have been a lot of changes going on in my life, and I was living every second of them. Among other things, Ian and I have now moved out of our old apartment, I got a job, Ian got a different job, and we are doing great!

Vala is still Vala...still both tormenting and melting our hearts. She is finally adjusted to the new apartment: I know because we have to stop her from tearing the place apart.

I now work as a hostess in a restaurant, and I love it. I am confident in my ability to serve people by ushering them kindly to their seat...and I enjoy interacting with them. Such a change from working retail. A much better change for me. I actually feel refreshed after work.

I am also teaching a small drama class for 4th-6th grade home-schoolers. I enjoy them very much, and I cannot wait to watch their talents develop and shine this semester. I am also honored to have been given this opportunity. I must say - it is nice to know that I am using my college degree. :)

And there you have it. An update. I can't promise that I'll be a super consistent blogger again...but I will tell you that the blogging itch has returned. I might very well post again. And again. And maybe again.

Maybe. *wink*

Love,
