Ruby’s kindergarten teacher is truly amazing. I’ve been trying to find a gift to give her that she would actually use. She’s switching from teaching kindergarten to high school next year (I know, right? Such a change!) so a homemade trinket or something for her classroom didn’t seen quite right. I didn’t have time to make her a quilt, and honestly, I didn’t think that would go so well, what with the fact that we are living in an RV, so we decided on a fruit basket.

I would love to receive something like this—practical and decadent at the same time.

We found organic strawberries, peaches, bananas, raspberries and blueberries. Perfect for dipping in chocolate. We tucked in a few packages of chocolate covered blueberries and cherries for snacking.

I found this little container of dipping chocolate in the baking aisle for a couple of bucks.

We tucked everything inside a little wire basket that we already had and Ruby made a homemade card.

We hope Ms. Sullivan has a great time teaching math next year! The funny thing is that the elementary school that she is at now is the feeder school for the high school she is going to next year. She was the kindergarten teacher to most of the teens who will be in her math class! Nobody will want to mess with their former kindergarten teacher. She knows all sorts of dirt on you from when you were 5, ha! I think we all look back on our year of kindergarten with fond memories. Ruby truly discovered her love for learning this year.

    This looks like the kind of gift I imagine a teacher would actually want to receive! Heathy and a bit not healthy – perfect combination.

I don’t decorate for Valentine’s Day (still re I don’t decorate for Valentine’s Day (still recovering from Christmas 😂), but I always have holiday candy on hand! This year I filled the jar with petite sour hearts after hearing how amazing they are from @triedandtruemoms. They were right, we are all fans over here! Maybe more places will stock them now that they are in such demand. I ordered mine from @candynationusa (don’t waste your time looking on Amazon. They are charging twice as much for less candy).

Today we made our favorite green smoothie. It’s all about balance—-just kidding. We all know that’s a lie. I have like 10 healthy recipes on my site and 800 breads and desserts. 😂

Tip: when buying produce, buy extra to freeze. I buy an extra pineapple, an extra package of grapes, an extra bunch of bananas and an extra bag of spinach and freeze them for smoothies. I slice everything up and freeze it on baking sheets then bag it up. It makes it easy to grab a handful to toss into a blender. You can freeze entire bags of spinach too and add a handful to smoothies. I always blend my spinach and water first then add the rest of the fruit. No little spinach chunks in the smoothie that way. 🙌🏻

A great project to work on during Christmas break. She’s making herself a pink one after Christmas. We bought several colors of bulky yarn at Walmart for $2.97 each. Each skein makes 1 hat.
