Ok, so you've made the Lentil Pancake Bread...You've made your own flour in your Vitamix or blender...You've made the Banana Pudding over and over because your kids can't get enough of it...or maybe you make a smoothie every morning. We do this and without fail there are little raspberry seeds left behind. What do you do if it looks like your blender needs a little extra cleaning? The video I'm sharing today is just a quick little Healthy Hint that will show you how easy it is to deep-clean that fantastic Vitamix that you've come to know and love! If you haven't already seen the recipes I mentioned above, I encourage you to have a look. They are taste-tested, easy, clean-eating recipes that are sure to please!
How to Clean Your Vitamix
Directions:
- Pour a couple cups of water into the Vitamix (or regular blender)
- Squirt a little bit of dish soap into the water and place pitcher on the machine.
- Put the top on and put the blender on it's highest setting.
- Let it run for a few minutes and watch the suds clean away!
- Rinse it really well and let it dry.
It's officially been Spring for several weeks now, but it's just recently starting to look and feel like it...we're not covered in a big blanket of snow here in Ontario like other parts of Canada, but it has still been chilly and we're just now enjoying some sunny days and that nice Spring rain (and possible thunderstorms...I LOVE thunderstorms!) It's been an up and down Winter and we're all pretty much over it and wish it would warm up already! Looks like we will finally be getting some nice weather soon. I am always fascinated at how people emerge from their hibernation as soon as the weather is nice. It's contagious and everyone gets out on
the paths around Mud Creek that is within walking distance from our house...it's wonderful!
It's also important to get away from the normal day-to-day schedule and have some fun as a family! When Kirk and I were newlyweds and new parents we lived in California far away from family and all of our traveling was spent visiting our families. With his in Canada and mine in Florida, any travel money we had (or was gifted) was spent on getting back "home for a visit." Now that we live near to one side of the family, we have been able to have a couple of nice getaways in the last couple years as well as visit my side of the family. Below are some pictures that give just a taste of the trips we've been able to take recently with friends and family with which we have been able to connect.

Does your family have a regular vacation spot you go to? Mine always used to (my dad still does) go to Taylor County Camp Meeting every summer and Kirk's family always went to Ft. Myers Beach to their timeshare, The Sandcastle Beach Club. My parents now enjoy a timeshare at Wyndham's Bonnet Creek Resort which is a wonderful way to spend time with family (and go to Disneyworld)! I'm going to attempt to track down more of these types of pictures so check back for those!
