Smoothie Clean-Up



Let's be honest, after making a smoothie, there is a mess.  Who wants to make a smoothie when all you can think of is the mess to clean afterwards?  I thought the same until I realized that I could clean the blender as fast as I made the smoothie, before my first sip.


What you'll need:

Dish soap
Water

Directions: 

Fill the blender about half full with water, add a few drops of dish soap.  Of course my favorite soap is Mrs. Meyers because a little goes a long way.  Close the lid tightly, and turn on!  Let the blender run until all debris has been washed down from the sides of the blender.  Rinse thoroughly.  

This is a great method for a quick rinse of your blender between uses throughout the week.  Deep clean the blender after two uses.  Choosing an effective dish soap is key to making sure that all debris from the blender has been removed.  If any debris is left after the first rinse, repeat.

  1. I have the same blender and do the exact same thing! Except I’ll rinse as much as I can of the smoothie, then fill with hot water and dish soap. Good as new! GMTA (Great Moms Think Alike!)

How We Met

My freshman year of college consisted of many days spent in my dorm room, doing work and....sleeping.  I wasn't much of a social butterfly before college and that really didn't change throughout those years.  I stayed in Pride Hall at North Carolina Agricultural & Technical State University (NCAT).  Little did I know, my husband also stayed in the same dorm hall. I made friends who I would go to the cafe with, hangout with in each other's rooms and make quick trips to find food off campus.  There was one guy who I had not met but knew of through my friends.  One day I was told that a guy named Clint really liked me and wanted to get to know me.  Something really funny is that I knew of another guy named Clint, who I was somewhat attracted to, that stayed on the floor below me.  The whole time my friends and I talked about "Clint", I thought we were talking about the guy downstairs, however it wasn't the same person. Once I figured out which Cli...

About Me

My name is Tikara, a wife and mother of twin girls who are 2 years old going on 30.  I am 29, graduated from North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University in 2011.  I met my husband while at college and got married in 2012.  We decided to immediately let God decide when to start a family, therefore we did not have any restrictions on family planning.  It was shortly after we got married that my life, career goals and interests changed.  In this blog, I will discuss our struggle with infertility which ultimately led to many blessings and open doors in our lives. During my fertility journey I discovered the world of Youtube and its platform for individuals, businesses and organizations to expand their reach across the world.  My goal for this blog is to simply help others while documenting my everyday life.  While thinking of a particular topic, there were tons going through my mind, however, the most useful to me as a mother has been th...
