Grapefruit Pompelini-Tini?
Leave a trail of sparkle, make that sprinkles, wherever you go...
Fourth of July Mini All-American Pie (and it’s Boozy!)
The words were like music to my ears. "We've got to get our hands on some fireworks." This was followed by the rubbing together of his hands like all the evil characters you've seen in cartoons. Because this didn't mean your average visit to the grocery store to pick up some sparklers with dad. This meant smuggling. This meant illegal. This meant crossing the border....
This Donut’s For You
So I say to the guy, "The police are out in droves today." He says, "Oh yah?" “Yah!” I say, suddenly overly enthusiastic. Or nervous. The police put me slightly on edge, in a I must be guilty sort of way. Like when I was pulled over while driving back from a shower with my girlfriend (not to be confused with when I was pulled over in...

Mom’s Day Rosé
The dollar store is a gold mine. Now granted, I decided this after happy hour and after I was more than slightly buzzed, but I’m sticking to it. Not only did I score several unneeded kitchen items and a purse pistol that shoots light, but I also found popsicle molds! And what timing, wine pops will make a perfect (boozy) treat for Mother’s Day. Lavender Rosé...
Mermaid Mint Julep
If there's a party with hats involved, I'm in. And, of course, a cocktail...
May Day Mocktails
One of my neighbors growing up had a big, beautiful plant just outside their front door. It was a hanging plant held in place with ornate macrame. After ringing the doorbell, I waited for my friend and realized it spun. So, I began spinning and twirling. Spinning and twirling and waiting and twirling and waiting. And twirling some more. (I would like to point out...
French Kiss
It’s FRIYAY! So it’s only appropriate to get a little French Kiss(ing) in. Have you ever ordered a French Martini? I have, and it didn't go the way I thought it would. I imagined immediately exuding the 'je ne sais quoi' of a French woman and after only one sip, my hair would blow gently in the wind, my lips would glow raspberry and all...
Kid Tested, Mermaid Approved
So about the park… I had a little incident. Scout is a terrier through and through, a real hunter. And true to her name she "scouts" for every squirrel in existence. She is basically Dug from Up. "SQUIRREL!" -Dug So, I’m never without treats. Treats, so she finds me more, or at least as interesting as a squirrel (awesome). I was armed with some pretty fantastic treats from...
Easy-Peasy Picnic Pack
It’s gorgeous out! Let’s head to the park and relax with a light lunch and a boozy beverage. Who’s in? Cooper and Scout are! They listen very intently when I say, "Do you want to go to the park?" Also, they're sitting on my new welcome mat. It says, "it's always happy hour." I couldn't very well leave that in the store, now could I? It was...
