Our Adventures.-The Denver Art Museum

We decided to take a day trip to explore the downtown Denver area. On this particular day, my husband and I were celebrating our 17th wedding anniversary and wanted to have a mini date that included time with the kids as well. Our adventure started with us eating at the Cheesecake Factory. We wanted to make sure our tummies were full before we took on this day trip. The food was amazing, and we just really enjoyed this time together.  The weather wasn't so cold, but we still made sure to bundle up in warm coats. The Denver Art Museum is located in the Civic Center of downtown Denver. I also learned that this museum is one of the largest art museums between the West Coast, and Chicago. -We learn something new each day. This was actually our first time visiting the art museum.  During our visit, we viewed some beautiful and very creative pieces of art.  This museum has 70,000 objects in the museum's collection. There are approximately 18,000 in the Native Arts

Simple Herbal Spice Tea Recipe

Ingredients  - 1 sliced orange  *Wash before slicing* I used an organic fruit and vegetable wash. If you don't have this, you can simply make your own. 1 tablespoon of mulling spice I used the Spice Islands mulling kit - 1 Infuser Ball -1 tea bag  For this recipe, I used one BIGELOW Lemon Ginger Herbal Tea bag - 1 teaspoon of honey You can use more, or less depending on the sweetness you want your tea to have Preparing your tea Start off with a cup of hot water. Add your infuser ball with your mulling spice. Let this sit for about 3 minutes. Next, add to your tea bag.  Allow your tea bag to steep for about 4 minutes. This will allow flavors to come together. Remove both the tea bag, and infuser ball, and add in your honey. Give it a quick stir.  Once you have sliced your oranges, squeeze in a little orange, and place two slices into your cup.  The flavor of this tea is amazing! Relax, and enjoy your tea. Thanks so m
