New Determination

Well seeing as how my last (and first?) post was in 2010... I would say that my blogging really didn't get very far, huh?  Life has a way of slipping by and things you determined to do just don't get done unless you have a plan.  I've been realizing for some time that while my time is limited, I still feel like I need an outlet to write out my thoughts, my hopes, my dreams.  I've enjoyed blogging in the past as it was a way for me to chronicle my life in a way that journaling never seemed to work for me.  So here's to new determination to get this thing going... again.  LOL.

So for today:  Bullet Posts!!!

*I'm in the throes of planning our homeschool year.  We are *starting* preschool this year (we did some work last year but Adriana wasn't big into it - besides the art stuff.  Haha!  This year we are using the Letter of the Week Curriculum from Confessions of a Homeschooler.  But I'm mixing it up and all around and doing it the Kumon way, starting with letters that are easier to write.  We'll be tackling L, then T, then H.  Be on the lookout for fun preschool posts coming soon!!!

*My niece was born last Thursday.  She is beautiful and giving me the baby bug BIG time!  Take a look at this cutie:


"Tia April - what are you doing?"  -Marabella Ann
 *Summer has been lots of fun for us.  I also had another niece born on the Fourth of July!  But she's in NJ and I won't get to see her for a few months.  Boo.  Besides the babies - we've been hitting up the beach alot, gardening, and staying inside when the temps are just TOO hot here in Florida.

*One way to stay cool is we eat (drink?!?) alot of green smoothies.  Well one day when there was a bunch left over, I made them into popsicles.  Yes - I am the "cool" mom who gave her kids popsicles for breakfast.  LOL. 
Yum!
"Mom, take a picture while I "wook" (lick) it!"

Look at those faces - I think they enjoyed them!

Well, I believe that's all I have time for now.  Hope you'll follow me on my journey back into the land of blogging.  See you later!

    welcome back to blogging! What kinds of things do you put in your green smoothies? Have any good recipes? I don't think B would eat a smoothie, but he would probably eat them frozen!

    Oh April, I am THRILLED to have you back, young lady! I have missed reading your wonderful blogs.....but I KNOW why you haven't.....because you were given the desires of your heart so many years ago when I first met you. Now we are both moms of multiple kids. How did that happen???? God is so good and so faithful. I love you, girl!

    For green smoothies, I throw in some yogurt (normally a cup), some milk, frozen fruit and a handful of (raw) spinach. If you use lighter fruit like strawberries and peaches, the smoothie turns green from the spinach. If you use blueberries, the blue/purple covers the green color (if your LO won't eat it 'cuz it's green). With the fruit, we find it sweet enough but you can also add sugar or honey to taste. Freeze and enjoy! HTH!
