Hey mommas!! Happy Friday to ya!! Hope you all are enjoying your summer so far!! It's starting to really heat up outside, and I couldn't be more excited!! I love the heat. It really doesn't faze me. I'll take the sweltering heat any day over the freezing temperatures.
It's been a busy summer so far for us. My kiddos are both playing summer ball, and between the games and practices I feel like I rarely have a free night. I love watching them play though. There's something so quintessentially summer about sitting outside on a summer night watching a baseball game right?!
I also had our big summer show last weekend at Indie Trunk Show here in OKC. It was a great success and I so enjoyed getting to meet so many of you!! If you couldn't make it out, don't worry because we will also be out at The Red, Bright, & Blue Festival at the Wheeler Ferris Wheel in OKC on the 4th of July!!! I am so excited about this show!! It's all outside right there next to the ferris wheel which will be all lit up red, white, and blue!! PLUS!! At 9:30, the downtown fireworks are set to go off so we'll be in the perfect viewing spot right there in the Wheeler District. It's our final show of the summer, so you definitely don't want to miss the fun!! We'll be popped up for shopping from 2-9 that day, so swing by and say hi!!
I sure hope all you mommas are enjoying your summer. Hopefully you're getting to do some fun things with your kiddos while they're home from school. On these hot summer days, I have the perfect summertime cocktail to cool ya down. It's my Blackberry Mojito!! It's pretty close to my original mojito with the addition of some delicious in-season blackberries!! Give it a try mommas and let me know how ya like it!! Cheers and see ya next week!! ;)
xx, Momma Mojito
