Happy Friday Mommas!! Can you believe Thanksgiving will be here next week??!!  Hard to believe it's already that time of year!!

We've been loading up the shop with all sorts of new goodies for the season! Seriously, have you seen all the pretties that have been coming in?  There are so many soft and cozy sweaters, sparkly jewels, adorable vests, the cutest hats, and so much more.  PLUS, we couldn't wait any longer to get the Christmas excitement going, so we released FOUR new Christmas arrivals today--2 adorable tees, a festive vest, and even a cozy blanket scarf....all in holiday prints that will get you excited for the season!  No grinch momma around here! :)

A few weeks ago, my little family and I were at this cajun restaurant in OKC that had a huge selection of all different kinds of Moscow Mules.  Now, we all know my love for a good mule goes a long way, but I do tend to stick to the traditional method of vodka, lime, and ginger beer.  However, their eclectic mix of mules got me thinking of interesting new versions.  So I decided to see if I could come up with something fitting for the season for a new mule, and what I discovered is equally delicious, satisfying, and has the perfect spiciness for the season!! The secret?? Captain Morgan's Jack-O-Blast!! It's the Pumpkin Spice Flavored Rum that we used a few weeks back for our Pirate PSL.  Yep, time to bust that baby out again and let's make a new kind of mule!!

Here it is mommas!! You're going to seriously love this delicious, seasonal cocktail!  It's the perfect blend of fall flavors. It's also great to serve for Thanksgiving cocktails for those people who don't feel like a glass of wine or beer but still want an adult beverage.  Enjoy and Happy Thanksgiving to all of you!! I am so grateful for each and every one of you sweet customers of mine.  Thank you for allowing me to be able to serve you all while being able to stay at home with my kiddos.  Thanks for shopping small instead of a big chain.  I can't wait to provide you all with wonderful holiday gifts this season for all the loved ones in your life! Wishing you a safe, relaxing, and delicious Thanksgiving with your sweet families!! :)

With so much love and gratefulness,
