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...

Great Drink Recipes for the Fourth of July (21 and up Only)Enjoy Responsibly! Dear Moms, I am as we all are- well aware that Summer is fully upon us and with the stress the kids being home everyday ALL day, the Summer's holidays can add a bit more! However, I am here to try and help ease your stress- let's have a drink! So, if you are planning to cook out, or not- I have acquired a few new delicious, and refreshing additions to my bartender repertoire; enjoy these responsibly! If you are a beer drinker, something I have most recently become, a Shandy may be just up your alley! A shandy historically were served in English pubs and traditionally consist of a half beer and a carbonated topper, think- citrus soda, or a ginger ale. In this way, it is an easy cocktail tester if you are not quite the experienced mixologist just yet! It's super simple and can be loads of bubbly fun to test the ratios and flavor combos. One ideal shandy to try if you don't want to do t...

A-Ha! Bet You Thought I Forgot... Dear Moms,  A-ha! I bet you thought I had a crazy mom moment and forgot to include the cocktail recipes!! NOPE! I DID have a crazy mom moment, but then I just figured I would put this out there in a separate post... I mean, cocktails are easily worthy of having their very own post; they have kept my children alive for YEARS! I kid, I kid...or am I? lol  (I am, by the way- but there have been days that a good cocktail got me through to bedtime! We've all been there, right?!) Sooooo, with that being said, I have done extensive research online on summer cocktails (mainly because school is about to be out and well, YOU know... wink, wink, nudge nudge. I have scoured the web- left and right far and wide, I have found a few AWESOME sites that offer email newsletters, so that's a plus! Anyway, why needlessly blather on...let's get to those recipes! This one, I got from Food & Wine via Bobby Flay; is SUMMERTIME in A Glass! It's ...

Oops! We had some technical issues on Mother's Day! Buuuut.... HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!! Dear Moms,  Allow me to tell you all from the bottom of my heart: Happy Mother's Day! Today is the day to honor all the hard work YOU do each and every day. A brief moment of reflection to appreciate the time, struggle and sacrifice that comes with motherhood. Here is your celebration from ME: Above you will find all of the things us MOMS want at least a few times a year to avoid going completely bat shit crazy on our families: Time to yourself! Wine , lots of WINE! Diamonds , because you deserve them! Flowers , cuz all moms like flowers! A private potty session- just. For. You. Omg, I know, you love them!! You're very welcome! By next year I would like to be able to have a Mother's Day giveaway for my moms that really come through and read, like, comment and share my blogs! *hint, hint* lol Okay, all b.s. aside...what in the world do YOU do on Moth...

Am I The Only One That Can't RELAX?!

Dear Moms, Funny Mother's Day Quotes, www.quotesgram.com Retrieved: April 13, 2016 I have been running around like a chicken with my head cut off... here and there, hither and yon, toting bales and lifting barges!! LOL okay, maybe not all of that, but I have been "hyper busy!"  You know, on Star Trek/Star Wars (I'm a Star Wars fangirl, but I'm a trekkie too) when they would go into Hyperspace/Warp Speed, and the stars would shoot past the windows all fast and look like lines instead of dots- yeah, that's ME! So, it occurred to me- well, it didn't actually occur to ME per se, my therapist (Yes, I am in therapy AGAIN!! lol) brought it to my attention. He basically said, when he sees me- since he's known me, I always seem very "up" always in motion...then he asked, "Do you ever just relax and sit down?" ~Cue stupid look~ Now I honestly can say that I looked at him, instantly chuckled and politely said, "Ummm, no-...
