OSG Readers:
When I first asked Angela if she would mind doing a contest to help get our site out there, I wasn’t sure what the response would be. Baby Enchanted hardly fits into the categories food, fitness, fashion, or fun…well, maybe baby fashion! But the comments you left us – the compliments, the referrals, the excitement, the bookmarking…really blew us away! My husband and I sat and read through every single one. Baby Enchanted took us almost a year and a half to build from scratch before we went live about 3 months ago and we are really proud of it, so to hear the same things that we think about it echoed in your comments was an incredible joy. Thank you to everyone who participated, congratulations to those who won, and an extra special thank you to those of you who took the time to tell others! ~Bree
Isn’t she just the sweetest person?? :) Thanks Bree! And congrats to the winners!

Here is my new favourite morning routine in action!
Broccoli or Wheatgrass juice:
Just disgusting I tell you! lol. Like the shot glass? haha. I swear this stuff is worse than a shot of tequila.
My new loose leaf tea steeper arrived yesterday along with the William Ashley shipment:
You can see my legs in the reflective mirror on the pot!! ;)
I have been dreaming of one of these my entire life.
Guess what arrived in the mail last week?
A surprise shipment from my sister Kristi!!!!
A box full of Teaopia products along with a Teaopia gift card.
She got me a huge bag of the Japanese Sencha, Coconut Cream, and a Fit Active tea for fitness enthusiasts! I love the Sencha and Fit Active, but I have yet to try the coconut cream. I think I will today. :) This tea and gift card will keep me going for a long time!
And then of course a Green Monster:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup hemp milk
- 4 cubes ice
- 1 T almond butter
- 1 T chia seeds
- 5 sprigs dandelion
- 2 organic kale leaves
- 1/2 pear
- 1 scoop Amazing Grass Wheatgrass powder
- Squirt Kyolic Garlic
- 1.5 t Maca powder (loving this stuff so much!!!!)
My insides are grinning from ear to ear. So much energy flowing through these veins!!!!
Resting my Legs:
Yesterday I didn’t go on my planned run because I was not feeling it at all. I was feeling tired and not fully rested from my intense runs last week. So I decided to skip the run and wait until I felt better. The last thing I want to do is get this far and then do something stupid and hurt myself or burn myself out the week before an important race. I am hoping to get out today, but that will depend on the weather. Right now it looks like rain so I’ll have to see. If I don’t run today I will do my treadmill hill workout for some X-training. :)

- My sister Kristi thinks she has broken her toe (ouch!!!!!) and she is quite upset about being off exercise.
