Dear Moms

Dear Moms,  Okay- I know, I know...you have probably been expecting the other FOUR parts to the "Spring Five Parter." Buuuuut, as all of you know from being moms, LIFE HAPPENED! You guys may remember that I had recently enrolled in school to get my degree in Graphic Arts. OMG! This schedule has been grueling... I have been doing hours of reading and writing papers, discussions, and creating graphics displays and presentations.  On top of all of that, I am working in the beginning phases of a new business venture! Stay tuned for that... 😉Plus, the kids and the house and the dog... lol the list is a mile long and ten miles wide! So, with that being said the other four parts will be underway soon- but they have been updated for the Summer season! I have some fantastic cocktail and meal recipes for you- it's going to be Ah-MAZE-ing! I just had to pop in and let you all know that I have nor forgotten about you all- but,  I have to get some of this li...

Dear Moms, Howdy! So much happened this past week! Lol wowzers! Let's see what you've missed... 1) I started school on Monday 3/5/18! Yup. I decided to go back to school by accident! It was in the midst of doing some research for my job. Let me tell ya, the sales reps are really, REALLY effective for some of these schools! 😂 Well, I ended up getting my FAFSA done only to discover I had a defaulted student loan. 😱 I then began the relatively easy, and surprisingly, actually painless consolidation process. #ShoutOut to Great Lakes ! (Only took about a month from start to finish) Regardless, I am now an actively enrolled Graphic Arts, "freshman" at Independence University . 🎓 As I was writing this post..  I got some grade updates too! I had been stalking my professor for grades all week! 2) I have been up to my eyeballs in packing materials! Okay...I'm going to come clean guys- I have been doing a whole lot of online shopping. Lol like, Wal-Mart and ...

Dear Moms,  Hey there! How have you been?! It's so good to see you! You're looking good! Have you lost weight? gotten a new 'do? Well, whatever you've been doing, it looks good on you! Keep it up, Honey! Anyway, I am doing the same old same old...hustling, working, looking to make a way in the world. Lol ALL while trying to not screw my kids up COMPLETELY! So- where do I begin? Let's dive right in with one of my fave things to address here with you guys/gals: (hell, however YOU mother- mother up!) COCKTAILS!! With Mother's Day fast approaching- cocktails for the season will soon be flowing, and hopefully- with reckless abandon! Yes, hunty- I know how very stressful this whole parenting gig can prove to be, so let's not beat around the bush- no, BAR and let's get to it! It is officially spring and we have just entered into my birth month- so the turn up is underway! I like to find cocktails that either embody the season. Be it, the holidays within...

How-To Create Your Own Cups of Christmas 🍷"Cheer"🍸 Dear Moms,  Well, the Christmas season is HERE!! I am sooooo excited! Tree is yet to be picked out, and decor theme is yet to be determined...I'm normally not the last minute type on this kind of thing, but with the move and the remodeling of the new house- things have been a bit hectic! Buut, even through all of that- I am trying to keep you all abreast of what's going on with me and help YOU through the holiday season! So, since I missed the Thanksgiving cocktail date...I have an early gift to you mamas by way of a few recipes for large batches of Christmas "cheers!" So, sit back and get ready to gather the family, gang (or maybe just you on a bender) to "imbibe" in the season!! Now, I am just becoming a fan of whiskeys & bourbons and this cocktail is soooo easy as well as yummy! I love a citrus-y cocktail most of all, add the fact it includes whisky just makes it even better!...

Random Thoughts I Have During the Day as a Mom +ScaryMommyTV   via Instagram Retrieved: May 21, 2016 Dear Moms, Some days are amazing as a mommy. Some days are stressful and some days are downright scary! But, have you ever had any thoughts about your children that are just downright inappropriate? Lol I personally have, and I figured I'd share some of them as they pertain to a particularly "meh," Mom day and the "Mommyisms" I HAVE to say in real life instead!  ***BE ADVISED THERE ARE SOME SWEARS*** 6:30 am: (Alarm goes off) Ugh, ok let's get moving . "Ugh, okay let's get moving." 7:00 am: (waking kids) Omg,why doesn't THIS one feel good today?!

"Yes, I know there is only one potty- but we have to share, okay?" 7:45 am: Fifteen fucking minutes before we hav...
