#5aday to Smoothies

Here in Regional Victoria, we’re in lockdown and with no end in sight, it’s a good opportunity to re-evaluate what we’re doing to our bodies! Clean eating and exercise should be just as much a priority as our mental, social and emotional well-being which is why I am back doing the #5aday challenge which consists of eating 5 fruits and/or vegetables a day! 

To make things a little simpler for myself, I’ve decided to try creating smoothies for the days I work. 

Using this as a guide:

1 Year Together

Today we took a drive down the coast to where it all began.
In two days David and I will have been together for 1 year. 
On our very first date I met David in Corio and he took me for fish ‘n chips on the Torquay water front.
We called the kids from the car so they knew I was okay, after all I was practically meeting a stranger.. 
Almost 12 months later, we; as a family went to the same fish ‘n chip shop and ate together in the same place David and I did on our first date. 
Tuesday will be our 1 year but we will both be working and David will be home late.
So this time together today is just that extra bit spesh!
1 year of falling completely in love with each other. 
Flaws and all. 
I’m so happy, the kids and him have great relationships and even my Dad says he’s the one..

1 year down, the rest of our lives together to go!
