Babies and Limes

My little fruitavore.

This morning when we were snuggling in bed, trying to stay quiet so as not to wake up Enzo she turns to me and says

"I have a baby in my tummy too and when my baby comes out I'm going to nurse my baby. On one side I'll make milk and on the other side I'll make fruit juice, it's boring to just have milk."

She's content with the juicer for now.

Papaya Smoothie

If you are lucky enough to either live in Hawaii or vacation in Hawaii then you should take full advantage of the abundant papayas that seem to be every where. This fruit has zero fat, zero cholesterol, and tons of fiber. Which means that it's good for you and also good for your 2 year old who hates going number 2. Today I made a papaya smoothie and Enzo loved it and I loved how easily he went to the bathroom without screaming ouch, ouch, ouch for 10 minutes.
