Happy First Week Back to School.
Or at least in my house. It's been quite the week.
All the Things. All the Emotions. My baby girl started Kindergarten.
My big boy started his last year of Middle School and my little
boy started his last year of Elementary School.
We're doin' it. Getting back in the routine really is good for all.
We all do miss our Summer nights in the pool with a glass of wine in hand.
However, it was all smiles this week. A lot of Firsts and a lot of lasts. No one ever said being
a mom was for the weak. If your a mom. Your strong. Because you have to be.
For the first time in probably 13 years I am taking a moment to breathe. Putting myself
on the priority list. Turning the music up.
Going to the gym. Taking a Shower. Celebrating this little family of mine.
This party of five that gives me more joy than I could ever write down. My cup runneth over.
And I am so very grateful.
I was in it to win it this Summer ....with my 3 very special kiddos. We left it all on the
table and had the best time. But now, it's game on. It's time for these kids to fly.
Be their best. Learn, grow, and dream big. I smell greatness and I will be here
cheering these kids on everyday. Because thats what I do. Thats what
we all do as moms. It's our job. No paycheck for this job. But its the most
rewarding one...and I wouldn't have it any other way. I was meant for this one.
With all that being said, my mornings are starting early! Couldn't be happier that
it's Friday. I am ready for a fun family drive way happy hour. Time to get a good
bottle of wine to celebrate all the things. I got this little treasure over the Summer, and its
quite delicious. Meet Octopoda Cabernet Franc from the the North Coast.
This red is a mouthful. It's luscious and fruity. It's a great bottle to sip on
at the end of the day at the beach or with a delicious BBQ. It's complex with
its Cherry and Blueberry Flavors with a touch of leather and violet.
You will love the way this wine feels on your palette.
The package on Octopoda is fantastic. Presentation on this package
is so good. Looks good and tastes good. You can find deals on this wine!
It's $20 and under. It's a great value. It's a must try for your Happy Hours!
Happy Friday Ya'll!
We did it!
Have a great weekend.
Cheers!!
Happy Summer and Happy Friday Friends!
After a long day with the kids in the Summer time I still crave a good glass
of red wine even in warm temperatures. Crank the air down and pour a good glass of wine
in the evening and it's quite a nice Happy Hour.
A great way to end the day with your favs! We recently got this great bottle of
wine called Cune Rioja Reserva. Its fantastic and under $30.
This red is fresh and well balanced bursting with plum flavors.
The black cherry and licorice flavors make it great to drink on it's own
or paired with many variety of cheeses or poultry.
Cune Wines are found at most retail shops. Total Wine is always a good choice
if you are looking for specific brands. You can always request from
your local wine stores. I am also obsessed with fresh sunflowers from local farmers markets
for the Summer. It's so bright and cheerful for your home. Loving the new Vineyard Vines
Pop up Shop at Target too. These adorable Kitchen Towels are my new fav. All around
feeling happy and summering with a great bottle of wine.
Enjoy your Happy Hour. And Remember drinking good wine, with good food,
in good company is one of life's most amazing pleasures!
Cheers Friends!
Happy Friyay!
Hi Friends,
It's a Fabulous Friday and we are about to take this Friday to a Friyay!
Anybody else countdown the week till Fridays. It seems as if
we all try and stay in line with eating and exercising during the week
but when Friday hits...its like all bets are off. It's time to celebrate and let loose!
We all work hard and deserve a little fun. Apparently most of Americans have hit record-high levels of stress and anxiety in this world of hustle and bustle! We must set our boundaries and be productive
but stop and live in the moment and enjoy life. It's a happy balance. It's ok to say no!
We must dive into a fabulous Friday and weekend with excitement and preparation!
Margarita's anyone? It is the big Cinco de Mayo this weekend!
A good Margarita with some Chips and Salsa and we are in business.
You can keep it simple and make some fantastic Margaritas by
your pool or hit your local favorite Mexican Hot Spot and dive into the best!
So, I have a weakness for Nacho's and a great Margarita! Ok, and Guac too!
Who doesn't get excited for a good Mexican Night.
One of our favorite places to hit with friends is Rocco's Taco's. This place is legit!
So darn good y'all! It's worth the spurge! It has a Menu of drinks and Food
that will leave you with big smiles. Rocco's Taco's is local for my Tampa Friends. There
are several locations all over Florida and even one in New York. The atmosphere
is nothing short of a good time and the drinks and food do not disappoint.
Let's get to the good stuff...the Margarita's. My favorite is a Classic Skinny Margarita....and
only skinny because I prefer Fresh Squeezed Lime and Real Aqua Nectar. I am not a
fan of all the fake mixes and ingredients that make it too sticky sweet and you know
your up for a yucky hangover! I think a good Margarita is more tart than sweet.
A good Premium Tequila is most necessary as well as all
Fresh Ingredients and never ever use a mix. Ever. It can be exciting and fun to get
infused Tequilas or yummy flavorful twists, but for me a good classic skinny margarita with few real
fresh ingredients and of course a salted rim is my best.
BEST SKINNY MARGARITAS
INGREDIENTS:
2 oz Silver tequila
2 oz Fresh squeezed lime juice
1.5 oz Cointreau
1 oz light agave nectar or simple syrup (to taste)
Ice
Coarse Sea Salt
Lime Wedges
Add all the tequila, lime juice, Cointreau and agave nectar or simple syrup to a shaker filled
with ice. Shake vigorously and strain into ice-filled glasses.
Check out these glasses for Margaritas. And these too.
Have a Fabulous Friday! May your Margaritas overflow with pure awesomeness!
Have a great Happy Hour!
Cheers!
Happy Friday Friends and Happy New Year!
Happy 1st Friday of the New Year!
Its a new year, Fresh Starts and Fresh Feels.
I thought it was most appropriate to give
you a taste of my New Year Happy Hour
as we all are trying to focus, feel great, and be our best.
Because if we are not trying to feel and be our best we are not living our best life.
And let's face it...everyone is soul searching and making New Year's Resolutions.
For me I like feeling in control of my body which in turn helps me
to be in control of my mind. So controlling what goes in our bodies
is going to make a big impact. The old saying you are what you eat...
well there's a lot of truth to that. Anyone have that holiday bloat.
Feeling like the Christmas Cookies. Boo.
It's time to clean up. Detox. Feel your best!
Join me in trying the most amazing and delicious Fresh Juices.
It's trendy but I have my favorites for different days.
Meet Clean Juice made with lots of love.
Certified organic, raw, unpasteurized, and absolutely so beneficial.
Check out Clean Juice Here.
They offer so many different kinds of varieties of Fresh Juices
at their bar. Some of my favorites include the Black, Yellow, Sweet Greens,
and Cashew Milk Latte. Try them.
Make it a Clean Happy Hour.
Cheers to 2019!
Wishing you all Good Health, Happiness, and lots of Love!
"Dear Friend, I hope all is well with you and that you are as healthy
in body as you are strong in spirit."
