Any mamas out there need an excuse to go out and buy a bottle or two of wine?! I may just have you covered! Wine Cork Dot Paint Pumpkins! That’s right, you drink the contents of that wine bottle while your child dots away with the corks. It’s a win win activity since Mama is occupied and so is the kiddo! Cheers & happy dotting!

• White Paper Plates
• Green Pipe Cleaners
• Hole Punch
• Orange Paint
​• Wine Corks

Before you let your child dot away, take your hole punch and punch a hole at the top of the white paper plate. This is where you will string your pipe cleaner to make a stem later.

Let your child dot away using the orange paint & the wine cork!

Once your white paper Plate is covered in paint dots, take 2-3 pipe cleaners and wrap them around your finger to make a spiral.

Take your pipe cleaner spiral and simply thread it into the hole you punched in your white paper plate. Twist the stem in place. And just like that, you now have a Paper Plate Pumpkin!

I just love Halloween crafts. Halloween and Christmas are the two holidays I tend to go all out for. I just can’t get enough of the cuteness!!!!

My daughter has a class Halloween party every year! Since Halloween is a favorite of mine to get crafty for, I thought it would be fun to make D.I.Y Mummy Water Bottles for the kids!

• Small Water Bottles
• Gauze
• Glue Stick
• Black Paper
• Scissors
​• Spiders

Take a water bottle and your gauze & wrap your water bottle up.

Take your scissors and cut the leftover gauze. Then tuck the end of your gauze into the gauze on your water bottle.

Now glue on those googly eyes with your glue stick.

Time to cut out a mouth using your black paper. Once you have cut one out, glue it onto your water bottle.

Glue on a plastic spider.

Ta-Da! You now have Mummy Water Bottles. They make the perfect beverage to serve at your Halloween Party!

Ahhhhhh warm weather!!!! I don’t know what it is, but once patio season hits, I’m all about the fruity beverages!!!! Nothing better than chillen on your patio with a big ole glass of something tropical in your hands!!! What’s even better is having a little something special to pass out when your besties are over enjoying the scenery with you.

Since most of us old ladies aren’t the heavy drinkers we were in our 20’s, my sangria Jello shots are exactly the boozy treat to serve your besties. Boozy enough to keep that buzz going, but not too hard that you will need a day to recover. Cheers!!!

Jack Daniels
Coca-Cola
Popsicle Mold

3. It’s now time to take those popsicle sticks and place them back into the mold.

4. Once you have your mold back together, place your Jack & Coke popsicles in the freezer for several hours.

5. Once your Jack & Coke Popsicles are frozen solid. Rinse your mold off with a little bit of hot water. This will loosen the popsicles just enough to slide right out of the mold without breaking.

Can you believe it?!?! Summer is right around the corner! You know what that means right!?! It’s fruity adult beverage season!!!! WooHoo!!!

One of my all-time favorite drinks is a mimosa. I know, not that original of me! But you know what? You can totally take that classic mimosa and make it taste like summer with watermelon juice. Just swap that OJ for some watermelon and wa-la!!!! You now have a champagne beverage worthy of sitting poolside with you all summer!

Cheers!

• Champagne
• Watermelon Juice ( Tropicana Tastes like candy. Pressed Watermelon Juice tastes like real watermelon!)
•Watermelon Slice

Take your bottle of champagne and fill your glass 3 quarters of the way full.

Next, you will want to top of your Champagne glass with watermelon juice. I always recommend Tropicana Watermelon Juice since it’s the most fruity. If you aren’t into sweet juices, you can always opt for a pressed watermelon juice. The pressed juice will be more natural tasting.

Slice up that watermelon for your Champagne glass garnish.

Serve & Enjoy!
