A good lot of photos this week… it was a good week (even with a juice/raw food detox – which reminds me, I so should have taken a picture of my first meal post-detox. It was Mexican with green salsa and pretty tasty.)
My first raw smoothie – this one featured cilantro and pineapple. It was not my most favorite but I could have stirred it up more so I wasn’t left with a lot of cilantro and green stuff at the end.
I drank this “fake coffee” as I called it last week. As I wrote on Instagram, it wasn’t awful.
We still remember. Flags at half-mast outside of a client’s building. Driving by more flags at half-mast prompted Liam to ask me why they were that way and I started to explain to him the significance in general and then talked about why Sept. 11 was an important date in our history as a nation. Trying to explain pure evil to your 6-year-old is not easy.
The sunsets lately have been glorious and now the kids request that I take a photo of the sky on our way home.
Day four of the juice detox and I had to make treats for the weekend retreat I was going to… these Brookies… I was so diligent, I didn’t even lick batter off my fingers. But the one I ate on Friday night sure did taste good!
Jack has started wanting to “read” and look at books on his own. I love this.
Warm water + cold air + sunrise = beauty. God’s a bit of a showoff.
Portage Lake was bursting with photo opportunities.
Love how overpowering the sun is.
My dear Sarah DB… suited up to take on the Flying Squirrel (Fact: she and I both HATE squirrels).
Another shot of the sun with a lens flare – way to go little camera on my phone.
Am suspicious about the dairy in my diet, opted for a vanilla soy latte on my impromptu date with Simon yesterday morning. Again, it wasn’t awful.

Love the pics from your weekend retreat – The lake looks like it was absolutely breathtaking! Also, can’t wait to hear more about your juice detox! The big question is…Would you do it again?
Will be typing up my review for grkids very soon… it was a good experience, I would do it again, I think… another time when I didn’t have a retreat right after because I feel like I undid a bunch of the good 🙂
I love that you had an impromptu morning date with your hubby. And I thank you for yet another delicious-looking dessert recipe that I must try (as if I don’t have enough already…)
