Stinky Skunk

Avery's House

I transformed a big box into a house for Avery to play in. It has been a hit for her and her cousins.... and her Grandpa Bob! It has been so fun and we take crayons and go wild on the walls. You gotta love this cheap toy!



Maybe I need to make one for my dad!!!

Strawberries & Cream Frappuccino... better


So, this is Brian's favorite drink at Starbucks, but it is SO bad for you. So I decided to do a little experiment to try and make a healthier version. I found one recipe, did some tweaking and made it my own... it tastes pretty good too!

SCHULTZ'S STRAWBERRIES & CREAM FRAPPUCCINO
1 1/2 cup(s) strawberries, rough chop
5 oz fat-free skim milk
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2 tsp Fat-Free French Vanilla Powder Creamer
2-3 cups ice cubes - depending on how thick you want it to be
6 drops Stevia Extract
2 tsp Nesquik Strawberry Powder
2 tbsp fat-free whipped topping

Put everything (except for whipped cream) in a blender and mix until smooth. Top with whipped cream. ENJOY!

*And there's about 119 calories in this version, as opposed to the 410 that are in the Starbuck's drink. :) Pin It
