05.15.14 Memories
Belle

Someone posted this as their Throw Back Thursday
& it just made me so thankful for memories of precious moments.
This was when our church did a Princess Tea Party
Well, duh!  You knew who I was going to be.
I had the coolest table full of Beauty & the Beast collectibles
It was beautiful if I do say so myself.
But I loved when the little girls just wanted to talk to me ....
They're growing up now but I still tell them I'm really Belle
... I think some of them may believe it...
I know I do :)
 
 
05.16.14 Peach Green Tea Lemonade



The first of the year
... I should keep count on how many I drink this Spring/Summer...

The BEST drink EVER at Starbucks


 
05.17.14 - Baby Shower



I talk about Ryan & Chasity all the time here. 
He, being my dear friends son who we adore & is an incredible man of faith (it freaks me out to call him a MAN now... I still see him as the 16 yr old kid we met years ago)  & Chasity, my precious friend who is also my photo assistant & who teaches me so much about being a Christian woman
... they're having a baby...
It was great celebrating our Grandbuddy
& seeing so many people we haven't seen since their wedding.
I told Chasity it felt like their wedding reunion :)

 
 
05.18.14 Maternity Session for my "Framily"



(Define Framily: Friends who are family)

When I found out Ryan & Chasity was pregnant, I think I counted down to the time I could do their maternity pictures... I love when I know people taking their pictures so I can say, "Hey Ryan, carry my bag for me" :)

If you want to see the whole session -

05.19.14 Juice Plus



Been debating on whether to give this a try.
Decided my health is worth it.
Finally got it in the mail & started on it.
I was afraid it would bother my stomach - not in the least.
I'll let you know how it makes me feel, if any different, in a few months.
 
 
05.20.14 FREE ICED COFFEE!!!!



I usually stop at McDonalds on my way home anymore to get a French Vanilla Iced Coffee... $1.92... I already know the cost
#addicted
I pulled up & asked for my usual & they said, "Oh, its free"
Wh-wh-WHAT???
Yep - free iced coffee till Sunday!
My caffeine heart pounded even faster!

 
 
05.21.14 Healthy Ice Cream
 
 
So I saw something on FitSugar one time & pinned it & then saw my blog buddy Mia do the same thing, I had to give it a go.
It's just a frozen banana & I added in PB2 Chocolate powder into my Nutribullet.
OH.MY.WORD!
It honestly tasted like a Wendy's Frosty... seriously...
I just need to see if there is an easier way to blend up the bananas.
I thought my Nutribullet was going to explode.
It'd be worth it though :) 
 
 What are you THANKFUL for this week?

  1. Free iced coffee is always a win! I don't care for tea but I love anything peach flavored so I'm wondering how I would feel about the PGTL from starbucks? That first picture is beautiful! You make the perfect Belle!

  4. That picture is precious! I am planning a trip to Starbucks soon to try that, I can't wait. Do you get it sweet or unsweet? I get my others unsweet, but wanted to check. Mmm I love those coffees, I drank a few while we were away this last weekend. YES, please let me know your thoughts on the Juice plus :)

  9. So, I saw your FB post about Peach Green Tea Lemonade and immediately went to Starbucks where I was told that they didn't have their peach syrup in yet...what???...so disappointed :( I will try again soon though :)

    I love vanilla iced coffee! I found that it's better for you than a frappe/frappacino and I like it just as much (with a little sugar of course ;)

    Love your sweet maternity pics of your friend!
