thirsty thursday!

so long gone are the days of hanging out on thirsty thursday!

i can now live vicariously thru my lil peanut

whom, i think may be

enjoying more of her share of thirsty thursdays, fridays AND

SATURDAYS!

yikes.

i love her honesty, but yikes. it scares me to think that my lil peanut is out there

in the world making life decisions...

lol...ok, maybe not life decisions....

but even if it's deciding to

eat or not eat pop tarts for dinner....

you see where i am going...

but that's what college kids do, right?!

so in honor of thirsty thursday i wanted to share a few healthy smoothie recipes!
