Hey mommas! Happy 1st Friday of 2018 to ya!!
Is it just me or did this first week of 2018 seem to be the longest week EVER?! Whew. I'm tired. Not only did we have a nasty case of the stomach bug make its way through our family, but our old Labrador Retriever got really sick too. We spent all night up with her on Wednesday night thinking it may have very well been her last night. She was in an incredible amount of pain and wouldn't move more than a step or two before falling down. We really thought we were going to lose her. After a long vet visit and some new meds, she seems to miraculously be on the mend. As my momma would say, "She's the dog with nine lives!" :) So hopefully we still have plenty of lives left with her. She was my first baby before I had babies, so I'm pretty attached to her. You fur-baby mommas will understand!
After all of that, the kiddos started school back up again which means bed on time, lunches, homework, school activities, and all of that jazz. I'm a little worn out just thinking about it all really. Thank goodness it's Friday! Who needs a cocktail?! Okay, good....me too!!
This week, I made a strong one. But since it's rum, it's easy to drink and easy to love! ;) It's citrusy with juicy orange flavors, sweet with an interesting hit of Cinnamon-Infused Maple Syrup, and a little spicy thanks to the cinnamon. It's the perfect cocktail for this cold winter weather, and the rum is bound to warm you up in no time! So kick your feet up momma and enjoy this decadent and delicious daiquiri! Cheers!
