Friday Faves- Edition 13
Friday. Edition 13. Friday seems to come around faster than I can blink my eyes! Between editing some photos, running errands, spring purging of household stuff, and life in general...

Breakfast smoothie on the go
Most days for breakfast I am an eggs and bacon kind of girl. Then there are the days that I have somewhere to be and need something quick. I have a ninja blender and just throw the following ingredients into one of the single cups and blend away: Ice Almond milk (I use unsweetened vanilla) [...]
