Hey mommas!! Happy Friday to ya!
Hope all you mommas are staying warm and healthy this winter! Is it just me or is this one of the worst cold and flu seasons EVER?? Ugh!!! We've had our run of everything this season---strep throat, flu, cold, sinus infection, stomach bug...you name it and we've had it. I can't wait for the sick season to be over. If I'm not wiping my own nose, I'm wiping one kiddo's or both. So I sure hope you mommas aren't having it as rough as we are with illnesses.
I can't wait for warmer weather when I can sit out in the sunshine in a sundress and flip-flops with a margarita in hand. Ahhhh, that sounds so nice. Extra lime please. Yum. In all of our illness-ridden house right now, that sounds pretty nice. While I'll have to keep daydreaming about sitting out in the sunshine in my sundress and flip-flops, I don't have to daydream about that margarita!! That's because this week I made a delicious margarita that's perfect for the season. It uses orange and cranberry flavors that are just right this time of year! Plus, it makes me feel like maybe summer isn't too far away after all and that's something to celebrate! Maybe add a little cocktail umbrella if you're feelin' the winter blues. Cheers mommas and see you next week!
