Luba Lovely: Life Lately

Life seems to be flying by lately. Even though the days seem longer now, I really think after having a child, time just seems to roll by even faster (don't you agree moms ;). There are a lot of new thing going on in our life and I'm excited for this year!

Masha is now 27 months. She is such a character. Full of life and has the biggest heart. She loves animals with a passion. The other day, we were outside and she saw a worm and said " Hi worm". I nearly melted. I wish we lived in a house so we can have a dog or cat. Hopefully soon that will become a reality. She knows how to sing the ABC's. Can count to 10 in Russian, English, and Spanish. Loves to dance and read. She is quite independent, however she loves when I give her hugs and kisses (I wonder where she gets that from, hehe)

It is an understatement to say she is energetic. My neighbor always jokes how she is my "workout". And honestly, there are weeks that go by that I don't go to the gym or really exercise. Running after her, going to the store & running errands, and just daily housework really is enough. Of course, I eat rather healthy, but I don't limit myself to anything these days. I just use the best ingredients. I also noticed I don't snack that much either. My meals seem to be sufficient enough to carry me through to the next meal. I do however love having a smoothie!

Today I experimented:

2 cup of cold filtered water
2 handfuls of organic baby kale
1 organic pear
1 cup of frozen pineapple (Trader Joes sells them in the frozen section, or you can make your own)
1 Table spoon Flax Oil
1 organic Banana

Masha and I drank it down super fast. It was delicious to say the least. I think the pineapple does the trick! Try it and let me know what you think. If you have a yummy smoothie, please share in the comments :)
