Our New Baby, It's a Girl!!

Pookie Pie is our new 8 wk old Min Pin puppy. Isn't she adorable!!

We weren't actually looking for a puppy, but since the loss of Jack it has seemed a little empty around here. I will blog about Jack later, for the time being I can't do it yet, emotionally. Some friends of our had a litter of Min Pins and we fell in love with Pookie. We weren't sure what to name her, so for a couple of days she was unnamed. I had been calling her Pookie, not really sure why, but it seems the kids like it and so became her name. I think they mostly like the name because its so easy for them to say.

Welcome Pookie Pie to the family!

Morning Sunrise Smoothie

We try to fit in 7 fruits and veggies a day and this is a simple way of getting a serving! The bonus is that the kids love it so much!! When I make it, they say the names of the fruit and OJ that I put in. They also jump up and down and say, "fruit smoothie"!! This has been a big part of my weight loss plan and getting the family to eat healthier.

Makes 3 servings. Looks good enough to sip, huh?

Kid tested and kid approved(or should I say LOVED)!!
