Drunken Cherries
Like many working people, when the weekend rolls around we like to hang out and have a few cocktails with friends. Some of those nights can get a little crazier than others. One night we were playing some sort of trivia game and enjoying a couple cocktails when this jar of cherries soaked in moonshine…
20 Cocktails for Valentine’s Day
On Valentine’s Day, we like to stay in with the boys and enjoy a nice dinner as a family. We don’t see any need in fighting the crowds at busy restaurants just to prove that we love each other. I take requests from my men on what they would like to eat and we cook…
Grab The Goodies: A Way to Teach Kids About Healthy Lifestyles
I was compensated by FAAR for the time spent reviewing and writing about the app. All opinions are my own. My boys are getting older, and with age comes the demands that they are “big” and can handle more “adult” things. This is true in so many ways. We are giving them more freedoms…

Thirsty Thursday ~ Smoking Loon Cabernet Sauvignon
It’s no secret that I love my wine. Heck, even my 8 year old made a card for me in his computer class that said: “Mommy, I love you and you love wine.” If that doesn’t speak volumes, I don’t know what does! I’m always on the look out for great tasting wines that can…
Thirsty Thursday ~ The Dreaming Tree Wine
“If it tastes good to you, then it’s a good wine.” ~ Dave Matthews Ok, so not only do I love his music, but now I love his wine too! Dave Matthews, recording artist by day, also makes wine. Of course, being a lover of all things Dave, I had to try it…. His line…
Thirsty Thursday ~ Cherry Beer-Garita
I love Sonic’s Cherry Limeades. I crave them…the little pebble ice, the tang of the lime, the sweet of the cherry. I stinkin’ love them! Well, there’s an adult version of this yummy beverage. HOT DAMN! I “debuted” it at a recent getaway with some friends and kids. It was a great beach drink!…
