Being that I am a stay at home mom and that Marc is the sole provider for our family, I do not splurge that often... In fact, I try and watch my spending 24/7.  I am not saying I am a penny pincher, but I do watch where our money is going...  I have seen these eye catching bottles in the drink section of our grocery store, Bolthouse Farms... but I have yet to buy one... I would think that I would like them, since the baby carrots we buy are Bolthouse Farms brand and they have never been anything but great... But, like I said, I do watch our money and I would be absolutely LIVID if I bought one of their drinks and was not totally 100 percent thrilled with it... Why?  Because they are not cheap... It seems that the worse something IS for you, the cheaper it is... But the healthier it is, the price goes up... (I could talk about that all day, but I know this is about my Bolthouse experience.)  After trying some of their products, I could see myself treating myself...

I do not own a juicer... I really want one and hope to get one at some point... but, it is not on the priority list at this point... I think a juicer would be great to lead us to being a bit more healthy. I received a few different smoothie recipes and I just wanted to share, in case this was something that might interest you... These were obviously for St. Paddy's Day... but, fun bright green color mixed with cool names?  KIDS WILL LOVE THEM whenever!!!!
