Tropical Smoothie

Dont get me wrong; I love my husband but when it comes to Mothers Day, sometimes he needs a little help. So much so, that I actually wrote my introduction essay for the Mothers Day chapter of my soon-to-be-released cookbook as a letter to him--halfway joking, of course. You see, even though weve been married awhile now, he annually forgets that Mothers Day is a day to be celebrated ALL DAY LONG--not just for breakfast. And definitely not just the eating portion of breakfast. Seriously, how meaningful is it for us moms to be brought breakfast in bed by our loved ones only to head to the kitchen to see a sink full of dishes waiting for us to clean--the same dishes used to make us breakfast no less! Hmmm...no thank you. Bad idea. Mothers Day is to be celebrated all day long. What this means is: no cooking, cleaning, or shuttling. Ahh yes, this is what I want for Mothers Day. And please, no more Worlds Greatest Mom mugs, Rob. A person can only have so many mugs to match her Worlds Greatest Mom pajamas--both sets. Yes, you read that correctly. I own two sets of these pajamas. Got to love Rob, he does this because he thinks its funny. And it is, kind of. Not. Instead, I think us moms should band together and form a movement to go somewhere tropical every Mothers Day to be pampered. Wouldnt that be awesome? I am going to keep on dreaming that dream. Today I am sharing a Mothers Day inspired fruit smoothie with you. Easy to make and only dirties up the blender (in case you have to wash it yourself). I hope this smoothie magically transports you to a remote tropical island, even if only in your mind momentarily. From one mother to another, Happy Mothers Day! ** Look in your grocery stores frozen foods section for a tropical blend of frozen fruit.
