Nuby Fun Drinking Cups!
The girls in this house are growing up! So naturally it was time to get our hands on some big girl cups. Today modeling is Ms. Maddie - my BFF Aymee's daughter... Knowing I am a huge NUBY supporter - she asked me where to get some great, durable & kid sized cups. Well, naturally I found her the perfect ones...
"Nûby™ Fun Drinking Cups™ are bright, fun and durable enough to withstand the challenges of daily use. They are great for children who are just beginning to drink from an open cup because they are sized perfectly for smaller hands. They feature a fun design and are available in a variety of colors." I have personally watched these cups bounce off the table and floor with not a crack... practice makes perfect, right? Aymee is a busy busy mama and says her favorite part about them is that they are low maintenance... when they get dirty - you just toss em in the dishwasher. She also said she loves the embossing on the side as it provides a bit of grip to the sides to make them easier to hold.
Big thanks to Nuby for always offering us the perfect solution to our growing baby's needs.

Thirsty Thursday... Cocktail time!
So - I have a pounding headache...
And, if the babies weren't here...
it would totally be cocktail hour...
so I got this idea...
rather than actually partaking in a cocktail...
with two toddlers running around...
at 3:00 in the afternoon... on a thursday...
Im gunna start sharing some of my favorite cocktail recipes...
From what we used to call "Thirsty Thursday" in college... he he he
This recipe found from http://www.drinksmixer.com/cat/1/
Check them out for more like these!
I am a HUGEEEE, HUGE fan of a Pomegranate Martini...
So much so, that when Zaq and I get engaged..
I spent a whopping $14 on one at the W...
it was worth every penny on that dream night...
but here in reality, I can't spend $14 every time I want a drink...
So here is the perfect recipe for the favorite Pomegranate Martini.
"1.5 oz Three Olives® Pomegranate Vodka
1 oz POM® pomegranate juice
1.5 oz fresh Blackberry Puree
1 oz cranberry juice
Shake well with ice and strain into a chilled martini glass."
Now - if your in the mood for a little texture...
You have to try this 5 fruit Sangria...
Every now and then we have bbq's...
and when we do, its kind of a rule that I have to make some Sangria...
Now, I put tons and tons and tons fruit in it...
Strawberries... Berries... Peaches... Apples... whatever I can get...
But here is a great recipe that you could totally add to if you want.
I found it here... http://www.wineintro.com/sangria/fivefruit.html
"Ingredients
1 bottle red wine
1/2 cup brandy
1/2 cup triple sec
1/2 cup sugar
1 6 oz bottle club soda
1 orange
1 lemon
1 lime
1 red apple
1 peach
Cut all fruits into wedges and put into a pitcher. Add in rest of the ingredients and stir well. Let sit for 2 hours or more. Serve over ice."
I know these are totally chick drinks...
so last but not least lets mention something for the guys...
or the girls... that like a good brew.
Check this out...
Its called, Skip and go naked: Combine beer, lemon juice and gin, with a dash of grenadine." How fantatic does that sound???
