Hey mommas!! Happy Friday to ya!! Can you believe September is already here?? This time of year seems to go by so fast. There are so many school activities, fall festivals, Halloween, Thanksgiving, and then before you know it Christmas will be here. I don't know about you mommas but every year I get excited about Pumpkin Spice Latte time!! I'm actually enjoying a PSL as I write this post. Yes I know it's a little warm outside for a hot latte but I don't care okay?! PSL time only comes once a year ya know!! ;)
This weekend of course I am nervously watching the approach of Hurricane Irma and hoping it fizzles out and doesn't become a massive disaster like Harvey. Thinking about you Floridians this weekend and hope everyone stays safe!! Speaking of hurricanes, I want to thank you all so much for helping us raise money for the victims in Texas. We raised a ton and collected all sorts of items here locally in OKC and sent them off to those in need in Texas, and we are so proud to have been able to help contribute to such a worthy cause. Also, I had the great pleasure of helping out today with the local Indie Trunk Show girls here in OKC at the Regional Food Bank sorting and bagging up a HUGE amount of blueberries to feed hungry families here in Oklahoma!! It was great messy fun and I'm so glad I got to represent Momma Mojito today by giving back to the community.
Now the weekend is officially here and I'm so ready to kick my feet up a little after a long and exhausting week. To quench my thirst while I'm kicking back this weekend, I'll be sippin' on my delicious and delightful Palomas!! A Paloma is a bright and crisp Mexican cocktail that is easy to drink and so fruity and refreshing!! It is a gorgeous blush-colored cocktail that is as tasty as it is pretty. Bonus--it only takes a few ingredients and it's super simple to make!! So here it is mommas...hope you love it just as much as I do!! Wishing you all a safe and relaxing weekend!! Cheers mommas!! :)
