Blueberry, Spinach and Banana Smoothie

I love eating sweets and carbs especially in the winter. They are so comforting.  I always forget to eat fruits and veggies. I actually enjoy drinking them because eating them seems so tedious. I decided to start juicing some fruits and veggies. My mom got us this awesome juicer for Christmas. You don't need a juicer though, a blender works just fine. Today I made a blueberry, spinach and banana smoothie. All you need for one smoothie drink is:

1 cup of Blueberries
1 banana
1 cup of spinach

 

Look how delicious and beautiful this looks!

Photo Album Idea

Here is an easy, cheap and creative way to make a photo album. I've recently found some old playbooks for $1 at a secondhand bookstore. I picked some with titles like, "The Rabbit Hole and Daytrips"  Each playbooks title create a theme for the album. So for example, I will make an album of my bunny with the Rabbit Hole playbook and an album of all of our adventures to different states using the Daytrips book.  Here are the supplies you'll need.

Supplies

1. Play books or music books

2. Fun tape

3. Photos

NPR Tiny Desk Concert Date

Sometimes Paul and I have NPR Tiny Desk Concert dates. We'll make espresso or tea and then sit with twinkle lights on and listen to a concert.  So if you're ever bored on a weekend and need something to do, make a nice beverage and sit in the dark and listen to one of these. I guarantee you'll love it.

Camera Obsucra

Today I turned by bedroom into a camera obscura (pinhole camera). Camera obscura means "darkened room."It was the first camera.  The camera obscura has been around for thousands of years. In the 17th and 18th centuries, artist like Vermeer and Jan van Eyck used them to create drawings. It was until the 1800's that an actual photograph was taken with these kinds of cameras.

If you're interested in turning a room into a camera obsucra, here is what you'll need:

1. Aluminum foil

2. Tape

4. Scissors

All you have to do is tape over your windows with aluminum foil. Then cut a small hole towards the top. Then turn off your lights and see the image outside reflected upside down on your walls.
