Whew! What a weekend! My husband and I haven’t had a night away from the kids for 16 months (not that I was keeping track or anything) so we shipped them off to Grandma and Grandpa’s for a sleepover and we had a much-needed staycation! It was awesome. We slept in, we went out for breakfast to The Tallest Poppy (a hip little diner in West Broadway…we stood out like a sore thumb), we shopped, we strolled, and we talked without interruption. We got all dressed up and went out for a fancy-schmancy dinner at Hy’s (a high-end steakhouse in Canada) and ate fresh oysters and filet mignon cooked in gobs of butter.
And then we came home, changed into shorts and flip-flops (much more our style), went to a late movie, and ate a bucket of movie theatre popcorn drenched in butter, inhaled a bag of gummy candy, and drank diet coke (I know. That stuff is just terrible. Please don’t judge me).

Your smoothie looks and sounds delicious! But, what I really loved was your story of your weekend sans kiddos. The great meals, the short & flip flops, the popcorn, it all sounds fun and real 🙂

My daughter made almost this exact smoothie for me the other day and it was delicious! Do you ever freeze the banana? I'm saving the recipe so I can make it for myself.
