A Hair-less Weekend

Hello Sweet-peas! I hope you all had a wonderful, sunny weekend! The weather was beautiful here! It was so nice to bring Ginger for a long walk two days in a row. Nice weather makes me so incredibly happy as does being outdoors again! Unfortunately T and I didn't get to go to see the last show with the new original cast of Hair. The tickets were a little too steep for us right now (especially with baby on the brains). Oh well, hopefully they will have a reunion show in 6 months when they get back from London (ha, wishful thinking). So here is the smoothie of the day: : Frozen Mango, Pomegranate Seeds, Banana, Kale, Spirulina, Flax, Coconut Milk, Vanilla Sunwarrior. As many of you noticed, I like my smoothies THICK! Thank goodness for Glass Dharma's smoothie size straws, this thick richness slurps right up!T and I did made a trip out west to one of our favorite health food stores. The place in about an hour away, but it is in the "country" (if you can say that about NJ), so the ride is beautiful and carefree! I picked up some Indian flavored Brad's Raw Chips--I've never had this flavor, totally flavor-packed and delicious! Also, I grabbed Go Raw Ginger Snaps (HEAVEN!!!) and an old favorite: Go Raw Live Granola.
A better shot of Ginger, holding on to her bone on Daddy's lap! She was a little happier since this was taken later on in the day. She isn't a fan of the morning shots! She is such a little diva!
Yesterday, T and I wanted to check out this place we heard of called "The Hippie Shop." The place was about 30 minutes away, too bad they were closed!! AHH!!! Hopefully we will make another trip soon, this place looked so cool!
I love buying hippie stuff, when we re-do our basements, I plan on making it a meditation room/gym/retro 60's-70's style! My twitter friends know what a hippie I am! I think I surprise many of them with the songs I know from that decade. I grew up listening to that music from my parents, and my mother was a total flower child, so it's in my blood. Plus, I am positive in a past life I was hippie! Or as Earthmother says, I was born 20 years to late!
Have a nice Monday everyone!!! PEACE AND LOVE! ;)

i'm sorry you didn't get to see Hair, Lauren - but saving money and sticking to a budget when you're thinking about a little one is the way to go! :) sounds like you and T had a nice weekend, and i've been enjoying taking our dog julie for more walks now that it's not so darn wet & cold outside. hello spring - here we come....yay! i love my smoothies thick, too. so thick i could opt for a spoon if i wanted to. yum! you've always got the prettiest smoothies with the most delicious combinations going on. the raw chips & raw ginger snaps both sound rock'n. Ginger is just the cutest, and i hear ya on loving all the fun hippie stuff from the 60's. i love it too, especially the dishware and old pyrex and stuff - it's the best! oh, i loved your post on CSL - it really spoke to me as i have been feeling like something's been missing too - thank you!!!! happy monday and happyfaces to you, Lauren!

LOL, look at Ginger! She's like, "Nobody better mess with my bone!"

With baby-making on the brain, I trust you and Mr. T are taking every opportunity to practice. *wink*
