{pretty, happy, funny, real} no. 1

A peek into my life right now...

{pretty}

Isn't this lemon lovely? I prefer my water with lemon. I tend to drink much more water this way,

and drinking water is always good! This particular lemon was just so juicy, fragrant, and fresh.

I wish you were here to enjoy it, too!

Michael and I tried green smoothies for the first time last night. Have you ever had one?

I was very happily surprised to find they were quite good. It was my idea to make them, but I admit
I was a little nervous it would taste purely like the spinach I put in there. But it didn't! :)

If you're interested, I used the following ingredients to make the two large smoothies you see pictured:

2 bananas, 1 green apple, 1 cup green grapes, 1 cup yogurt, 2 1/2 cups spinach - blend until smooth.

I'm not sure this is really very funny, but it makes me giggle a little as this song is a bit belated now. 

This is what my little chalkboard read all during Advent - and still reads today...on January 16... 

...though calling on the Lord to come and be with us never goes out of season!

This is a picture of our dripping radiator. 

It likes to leak and leak and leak when it is put to good use in these winter months. Now, I'm no radiator expert, but I don't think this is normal. The cracked linoleum floors you can also see pictured are a delight to the eye, no? Keepin' it real here, folks! ;)

And...since I feel like I am still getting to know many of you

(as it's only my 3rd month of blogging), 4 random tidbits about me, {phfr} style: 

{pretty} // My husband Michael makes me feel prettiest. Lucky for me, he makes me feel as pretty in my pajamas as when I'm all dressed up for a date night. He's such a gift to me.

{happy} // Singing makes me happy...listening to great singing, and singing itself. Teaching others how to sing is also a great gift in my life; it brings me so much joy.

{funny} // For some reason, my fourth toe is a little rounder than the rest. My sister dubbed it my "bulbous toe" and then nicknamed it further: "Bulby." Good thing I love my sister so much!

{real} // I am a gal who wears many hats. Current 'hats' in my life:

music director, voice teacher, singer, personal assistant, etsy calligrapher, and blogger.

And my favorite hats, of course: Catholic wife, sister, daughter and friend.

Linking up with Leila and friends at Like Mother, Like Daughter today.
