It’s been an annual Mother’s Day tradition that my daughters make me brunch. Until they were teens, my husband was there to help, but now he’s in charge of fresh ground and brewed coffee and if I want, a cocktail after we eat, so when Tina’s Vodka asked if I’d like to try their organic Vodka I said of course! Below are two simple Lemonade Cocktails for Mother’s Day and beyond.

Hello and happy Friday! Is it just me, or has this week been exceeding long? I have been doing some decluttering, so that might be the root cause of my feeling this week was never going to end. Thankfully, we all made it to Friday and I'm excited to share this month's Friday Five!
Happy first day of December! I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving. While our gatherings may have been smaller this year, I sincerely hope you found ways to celebrate the day and make it memorable. Here it was just the four of us and we had a splendid day. There is something to be said for not having to be the hostess to a big family gathering. There was zero stress, which is always a blessing. Here’s another blessing hostesses will love whether the gathering is large or small, the NewAir 40 countertop clear icemaker. Read all the product details and my thoughts below.
We are gearing up to have a fun family style Halloween at home this year, so we’ve been planning dinner, snacks, and drink options. In our house, we all like to cook, so no matter the season, refrigerator space is always in short supply. I cleaned out all the condiments and leftovers I could, but that didn’t free up much space for drinks. I recently received an invitation from Newair to try a to try out a new appliance from them that solved this problem. They sent me a complimentary 16 bottle free-standing wine cooler fridge which will save valuable refrigerator space now and throughout the busy holiday season coming up. If you’ve every thought you couldn’t possibly squeeze one more thing into your fridge, read on for details.
Confession, I’ve gone all my adult life and never tried Sangria until last weekend. Crazy as it sounds; I am not much of a wine drinker, so passing on the Sangria wasn’t hard. But, I kept hearing from friends how wonderful Sangria is, so when an opportunity to try Eppa’s SupraFruta Sangria free of charge came along, I decided to go for it. Adding this Sangria to our Memorial Day weekend was a wonderful decision I must say!

Crafted in beautiful Mendocino California, Eppa SupraFruta
Sangria is a blend of organic, antioxidant rich superfruit juices and wine made
from organically grown grapes. That
sounds healthy and good doesn’t it?
My husband and I couldn’t wait to try these. As a Red Wine drinker, my husband was
intrigued by the Eppa Red which has Pomegranate, Blueberry, Blood orange and
Acai juices.
I wanted to try the Eppa White which contains Mangosteen,
Peach, Mango and Mediterranean Blood Orange juices.
After chilling the Sangria’s over night as per the bottles
instructions we poured a small serving of each and took turns sipping.
The Eppa Red was a little tart for my taste, but my husband
true to form, loved the tart citrusy taste of it.

| Chilled White Eppa Sangria We both loved the aroma and the taste is a cross between the
best fruit juice you’ve ever tasted and a nice white wine. I would serve this
anytime! For more drink ideas, visit my Drinks tab here. In comments please share if you are a Sangria drinker and if
so, do you prefer Red or White wine types?
