Hello, my name is Sara and I am an obsessive planner.I’m still at the stage in life where I consider it to be a hobby more than a neurosis (although I am open to the idea that the fact I consider it a hobby might be part of why it’s a neurosis…). I love planning. I really do.

Green Smoothies
My green smoothie making has begun!I’ve made two so far. Here are the recipes:
Smoothie #1:
