"The desire to create is one of the deepest yearnings of the human soul. No matter our talents, education, backgrounds or abilities, we each have an inherent wish to create something that did not exist before. Everyone can create. You don’t need money, position, or influence in order to create something of substance or beauty. You might say, I am not the creative type. If that is how you feel, think again. Creation is your opportunity in this life….. Start small. Creativity does not require a brush, a pen, or the keys of a piano. Don’t let the voice of critics paralyze you. You will make the World a better place. Improve, beautify, extend, smile, cultivate, develop, create."
~President Dieter F. Uchtdorf

Green smoothies

We love making smoothies at our house. We always had spinach, there is no added flavor at all, and tons of healthy goodness! But, I usually also have blueberries to put in them. A purple smoothie is alot easier to sell to a 4yr old than a green smoothie. I haven't had blueberries for a few weeks, so our smoothies have been green. The first night, I put them in a cup with a lid and straw so Nathan couldn't see the color. He drank it up. The next time, he wouldn't even try it because it was green. So the next time, I told him we were having a Halloween green monster smoothie. I told him to close his eyes and plug his nose and just try one bite. He agreed and of course loved it. So we've had quite a few green monster smoothies at our house this month!




 

 Yup, it's even in her hair.

Corey really does like them. He just thinks he's funny.
