Here is a kinda fuzzy look at what my Saturday was like. I didn't go outside at all(It was freezing and I didn't have to). I did tons of laundry and organized things. I worked on some crafts and sipped green tea. I ate a really yummy "shawangunkie chunkie" cookie. I stopped photographing in the evening, I really haven't figured out taking a photo without natural light yet. This was a fun little project to do on an uneventful Saturday,  I plan to do this again on a warmer day when I am outdoors.

Watermelon Wake-up

I want to share with you a refreshing summer beverage I've been calling 'the Watermelon Wake-up'. I saw a recipe for a watermelon slushie recently and adapted it. (Can't remember where! let me know if it's on your site and I'll mention it!) Much healthier than a frozen coffee drink, but still has a bit of caffeine to help get your day going. 2 ingredients: Frozen watermelon, and Green tea.

There is a little bit of prep for this one, so it's best to do it the day before.
 
-Chop up your watermelon into chunks and freeze it in a container or ziplock. (a lot is good so you can make these whenever you want!)
- Brew some green tea! or whatever tea you like. I used a combo of green and rasberry leaf. Let this cool and then keep it in the fridge.

I have a little handheld blender that makes this pretty easy, but your standard blender will be fine. So now just blend the two! I'm not much for measurements, but I'd say I used about 8oz tea, & 1 1/2 C. Frozen watermelon. Add more or less tea/watermelon depending how icy you want it. Enjoy!
