Simple home decor out of wicker bowls and picnic paper plate holders

I absolutely love to thrift shop just as much as I love going clothes shopping! There is just so much inspiration in a store full of random things. I noticed in magazines that wicker furniture,wicker decor and natural fibers were incorporated in a lot of home decor. So when I went to the thrift store one day having that on my mind, I went into the isle of baskets and found these picnic plate holders and bowls! I only paid $1 for a stack of those plate holders and and the most expensive bowl I bought was  75 cents and most were 50 cents and under. I already had the spray paint so this project was under $5!! I knew right where I was gonna put those plate holders! Finally that spot above my couch would be filled. Empty wall space has always bugged me! I also felt like my dinning room needed another color besides the standard red and white I had going on. I was quite pleased how the natural colored bowls found its place in there! Who says you can afford to decorate!! Now imagine what these would look like in a kids bedroom spray painted in fun colors! A cluster of these bowls would look really cute on walls!

Super simple to spray paint however you are gonna want to let dry and put several                   
coats of paint on. These tend to soak up a lot of paint.

Well if you aren't inspired to use them as home decor they make great cheap toys! My son played with them for hours. He loved spinning the plates as if they were records!

Berry Green Smoothie

For Christmas I got this amazing blender, the Vitamix! It can do everything from making ice- cream to making soups. So I have done a lot of experimenting and loving it!! I originally got it to help me eat more clean and I do but I had no idea how much I would use and depend on it! I now use this thing 1 to 3 times a day! Some of my first experiments have been trying to make up green smoothies that not only taste good to me but for my kids.

Berry Green Smoothie

1 cup blueberries

1 cup straberries

1/c blackberries

1/2 banana

1 clementine orange

1 cup raw Kale

1 cup raw spinach

1/4 cup carrots

1 cup water

a handful of ice

a packet of Stevia

serving size 1 cup. Makes 3 servings

Since I usually make my green smoothies in the morning when my kids are already at school

I freeze theirs in a ice cube tray

than I blend it up to go with their dinner

My kids like it even better this way because its like a slushy!

You should be able to make this with similar results in a regular blender. I would use the ice crushing setting chop up the veggies a little finer and add water as it is blending.

I want to know what you think if you try it! Its not that bad I promise!!
