Prepping (and of course sampling) the apricots and they were so juicy and delish that I had to lean over so it wouldn't coat my floors.
Can we pause for a second to admire these gorgeous colours?!? Wow...
Professional smoothie tester. (Check out my baby and toddler friendly recipe below)
I just love it when there is still clean soil on the carrots! Is that weird?
The kids go wild for the smoothie.

Yesterday was like Christmas in July for me. In fact, whenever my blue bins arrive from SPUD, I feel a huge rush of excitement, partly because I know all of the goodies inside are just waiting to be consumed but also because I can cross off ‘GET FOOD’ from my mile long ‘to-do’ list. That means my afternoon can actually be spent with my kids rather than running around the grocery store trying to find the least bruised avocado. Organic Food - delivered to your front door. It’s a game changer.
Here’s how it works: 1) you sign up (without a contract which is awesome), 2) you shop online and then 3) you eat the goodness that comes right to your house while you enjoy your precious time. They have everything from laundry detergent, to gifts, to pre-made dinners if you’re in a pinch. It’s amazing. Canadian Mommas from Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton and Victoria - it’s a must for saving time and energy.
Our upcoming NYC trip is also on my mind and as I’ve mentioned, I really want to look and feel my best. So nourishing my body with the best organic food around completely supports my goals and I never feel guilty or worried about giving my kids anything from SPUD. PLUS, the majority of it is local food from our Western Canadian farmers! Talk about feeling good about having an impact on the environment and supporting local farming families!
This is basically how I see it. Local food builds community. Communities help maintain a solid and progressive society. Raising our children in a positive and safe society is what every mother wants and when the mother’s in the households are happy and healthy, life is just better for everyone. Haha! How’s that for a train of thought?
Spud and I have paired up so that you can get $20 off of your purchase by using the code:

Just pop that baby in when you’re checking out and it’s even more of a deal!
Happy Monday and happy shopping friends!!!

Then for dinner, we had the Chicken and Veggie Pie which can be found here:
SPUD Pot Pies OUT OF THIS WORLD! I was so shocked at how 'homemade' it tasted and was totally disappointed when it was done. That meal will be on repeat this fall and winter!
