LET THE SUNSHINE IN

3/27/12

Spring has Sprung! Why not take some of that sunshine and share it in your home? I decided to brighten up our gloomy and neglected bedroom, by adding a little Daffodil to the palette. If you don’t have any experience painting an interior, it’s as easy as 1-2-3. Below is an easy guide to adding a little color to your abode. If painting isn’t your thing, or you lack space to add it to, why not try getting a couple new throw pillows to wake things up? Or perhaps some new kitchen towels, a new vase with some fresh flowers, or add some paint to that old wooden chair sitting in the corner? These small and easy fixes will add volumes of life and energy to your space as we enter the warm months. You’d be amazed how much a little color can really change your mood and inspire you to look at things with a fresh outlook. Happy painting and Happy Spring!

1. Get some painters tape (Frog Tape works best) and carefully tape around the edges of the area you will be painting. Check out the photo above.

2. Pick your color, and with tray and roller (together you can get them very cheap at your local home improvement store) paint away. Begin by painting the edges closest to the tape with a small to medium sized brush. Then start on the main area. There are many different techniques, but I find painting in a “W” pattern works best. Once the first coat is dry you may need to apply a second.

3. Carefully remove the Frog Tape and PRESTO! Now just dry and enjoy!

I did it! And so can YOU.

I love you.

GOOD MORNING, GOOD MORNING!

2/22/12

Happy Wednesday everybody! It’s been a very quiet week here at CidDid. A little too quiet as a matter of fact. Apologies for the silence. While mourning the passing of Whitney (which I was surprised to discover effected me more than I would have expected), I caught a horrible Flu!! I haven’t been ill like that in so many years, its hard to remember just how long ago it was. Needless to say CidDidn’t do much of anything. But it is a new day and I am up and about, and happy to be back with you all. I have prepared a smoothie for you today which I think you’re gonna love. I was amazed by how badly I missed my smoothies whilst sick. My body has come to depend on them! Hopefully by now you are implementing them into your routines. And if you haven’t, TRY IT NOW.

One thing I thought about these past days while CidDid was dark. Not many people are utilizing the YouDid? option at the right of the page. One of the things I would like to do with it is post some of the things YOU are doing on the page, so others can be inspired by some other ideas or experiments. If you have a story you would like to share, or something exciting you are trying out, Share It!! You can send me your piece at CidRoberts101@GMAIL.COM and be sure to include any pics you want associated with it. This way I have content to post on days when time doesn’t allow me to get something new up myself, and will help make the site more of a community effort. I like it!!

Hope you have an awesome Wednesday and enjoy the smoothie.

I love you :)

SHIFTING PERSPECTIVE

I’m sure by now we have all heard about the Ellen/JCPenny/MillionMoms Situation. However, many of you may not have had the chance to see what Bill O’Reilly had to say about it, and I just had to share it with you. Not only because I think what he is saying is important and right, but because there is a lesson in it for all of us. No matter what our beliefs or our political views, theres is enough room for all of us to have a voice. Even though I may not agree with Mr. O’Reilly 99.9% of the time, and I sometimes think his methods are extremely inappropriate, often times one sided and discriminatory, I think it’s commendable he is able to separate opinion from unjust action against a person or group. Is there someone or something in our lives that makes our blood boil or bothers us consistently? Is it possible we can look at it, or them, from a different perspective? Perhaps they can surprise us. Let’s try to be a little more open today.

I am doing it…

and so can YOU.

I love you :)

PURPLE SMOOTHIE???

2/7/12

Good Morning Everyone! Hope you are as grateful for Tuesday as I am. This morning I have a smoothie for you, though you might be asking “Why is it purple?” Well, last week I noticed that I had allowed myself to get very repetitive and lazy when it came to picking ingredients for my smoothies. Over time I slowly got more and more comfortable with the standard ingredients of Kale, Romaine, Spinach, Bananas, Apples, etc.. So I made a decision to GET CRAZY!! This week it’s all a bout getting creative and working those vegetables, and other greens back into our smoothies. They may take a little more work finding at the grocery store this time of year, and perhaps sometimes slightly more time preparing, but don’t you think it’s worth it? Like BeingBreezy said this week about her home, we can say about our smoothies.. “Does it represent who you are right now, or someone you used to be?” Let’s mix it up and feed ourselves some new inspiration.

I am doing it..

..and so can YOU!!

I love you :)

LET’S GET SLOW..COOKIN’!!!!

2/3/12

Happy Friday guys! Today we are using our Slow Cooker (also known as Crock Pot), and I thought I would share this SUPER EASY and SUPER QUICK recipe with you. It’s an awesome roast that can be served with a couple sides of your choosing, and will have you and everyone smiling and coming back for more. Guaranteed. ENJOY!

Start with a Beef Chuck Roast from the store. Very inexpensive and packed with flavor. We used one around 3.5lbs, but use whatever size you’d like.

Give the roast a quick rinse and pat dry with paper towel.

Season with Salt, Pepper, and Garlic Powder.

Coat it with some flour, shake it off, and put it in heated pan with 1 medium chopped onion, olive oil, and a little butter.

Lightly brown the meat, and once its got a little crust, throw it into the cooker along with all the onions, 4-6 smashed cloves of Garlic, and some Beef Stock.

Almost done!

Continue by deglazing the pan with about a cup of white wine, and when finished pour the mixture into the cooker as well.

Throw in a bay leaf, and place the lid on.

Cook on low for 7-8 hours and ENJOY!!

Hope you love it as much as Dylan and I do.

We did it together..

…and so can YOU!

I love you
