Hey mommas!! Happy Friday to ya! School's finally out for summer and it's Memorial Day weekend!! What could be more exciting than summer and a long weekend?! :)
We have a MAJOR promo going on right now!! I'm giving 30 (THIRTY!!!) percent of all proceeds sold right here on mommamojito.com to Wounded Warrior Family Support all weekend long!! Those of you that receive our emails found out about it first thing this morning, and you guys have slammed us all day with orders! I am so overwhelmed with the love for my little company and our dedication to giving back to our troops! You girls seriously are the best.
Because I have been swamped all day with shipping (which is a great thing!!), I am bringing up last year's Memorial Day Mojito for ya!! It's red, white, and blue and loaded with yummy berries with a crisp, delightful taste! You're going to love it!! I hope you mommas have a wonderful weekend! Shop with us for a great cause, or go straight to https://www.wwfs.org to donate to them directly. Read all about the amazing things they do over at WWFS on my Momma Mojito Gives Back page. If nothing else, please be sure to take time out of your fun activities this weekend to remember those fallen soldiers and their families. They gave up their today for our tomorrow, and I am forever grateful for their service.
Cheers mommas!! Have a great weekend!!

Hey mommas!! Happy 3-Day weekend to you all!!! Who's super excited for a long weekend?! I know I sure am!! As I am heading out of town for a super fun bachelorette weekend for a life-long friend of mine, I am extra excited!!
Memorial Day is such a great weekend, not only because school is out for summer. But it's also a great time to get together with friends and family and have some fun together, maybe swim, or do some grilling. Memorial Day is always a fun weekend! It feels like it's the start of summer and that's pretty exciting! It's really important to remember those that have sacrificed their lives for our ability to have weekends like these. It really is true that we live in the land of the free because of the brave. It's something I feel passionate about and that's why I came up with my "Momma Loves Her Troop" tee. It's not only a great way to show everybody how you love your own family, but it also supports the families of our troops as well. Every single cent that I make off of these tees, I give straight to the Wounded Warriors Family Support which benefits families of our troops who have either been killed or injured while fighting for our country. After all, it's not just the troops that our sacrificing for our country, but their families are sacrificing as well. I'm proud to announce that this weekend, not only am I giving all of the proceeds of the sales of these tees to this wonderful cause but I am also giving $10 extra for every single "Momma Loves Her Troop" tee right out of my own pocket. So go ahead mommas, buy away. I would be over the moon if these tees sold like hotcakes and I had to donate hundreds or thousands of dollars to this worthy cause!! Speaking of, if you'd like to just donate straight to the Wounded Warriors Family Support, then visit their website : https://www.wwfs.org/ .
So in honor of those who have served our country, thank you beyond measure. Mommas, here is a festive Blueberry & Strawberry Mojito just for this occasion in beautiful red, white, & blue!! Cheers mommas and happy Memorial Day weekend!! :)
