Monday

I have been brainstorming ways for Violet and I to give inexpensive, yet thoughtful holiday gifts to our loved ones this year.

In that spirit, we visited our local paint-your-own-pottery studio today!  Violet chose three unique pieces: a unicorn (of course!), angel ornament and a coffee mug to paint for my parents and her Nana.  They are all very lovely with shades of purple, green and blue. Violet is quite the amazing little artist as we all know.

She chose this angel ornament for her Grampy and Grammy.














Here she is choosing colors with her little friend K.
















I also found some great bargains this weekend too.  Some good loot for my mum and sister.
It is definitely more difficult to shop on such a tight budget but it can be done.
I think I just have to be a lot more thoughtful actually, which is a good thing.

My diet continues to be awesome, although I am *still* working on creating meals that are filling and nutritious on a day-to-day basis.  I have all these awesome ingredients but putting them together into something great can be tricky for me.  And being short on time or unmotivated will leave me hungry and desperate for convenient foods.

To compensate and still get loads of goodness in me, I have been creating a lot of yummy juices and smoothies.
This weekend I made a beet/apple/carrot juice and it was pretty good.  I've never had the juice of a beet before and barely ate them as a child, so it was a new experience for me. 
It is kind of fun to try these new things and definitely nutritious too.
