I can't wait to try making this blackberry and honey martini recipe! It's the perfect spring cocktail.....we'll be serving it at Easter Brunch! #KeepSpringBubbly #ADAnd, just like that…..it’s Mommy Juice time again! For those of you who are new to this series….after our daughter was born, we started experimenting with date nights at home.  We discovered how much we love crafting cocktails…..and I’ve been sharing some of our favs here! This weekend’s concoction? Blackberry and Honey martinis! These cocktails are perfect for spring, and look STUNNING in a glass!

Did you know Canada Dry has a new Blackberry Ginger Ale? Sounds amazing, right? It totally inspired this drink recipe. I mean a blackberry martini? What could be better than that?!? On a recent trip to Walmart, I picked up traditional ginger ale and decided to make a martini inspired by Canada Dry’s new flavor.

    Now I know what was dripping on the rims. That looks like a cool drink. I don’t drink alcohol but a soft drink version would be great too.

It’s the Meta Style bag from the Love Mickey Mouse collection that just released and…..WE’RE GIVING ONE TO ONE OF YOU!⠀

📣What conversations with your kids are you gear 📣What conversations with your kids are you gearing up to have? 📣⠀
📣Let’s be honest......there are conversation topics that as parents we all know we need to bring up. From body changes to the birds and the bees to underage drinking.....as our kids get older, we’ve got a lot to tackle. And I get it, unless you happen to be a 15 years in the classroom teacher like me....this probably isn’t something you have experience with (plus, trust me....it’s a whole other ball game with your OWN kids). ⠀
⠀
📣I’m excited to team up with my friends at Responsibility.org to talk to YOU about having those talks with your family. This month is Alcohol Responsibility Month, and it’s the PERFECT time to start an ongoing dialog around underage drinking.⠀
⠀
📣 A few tips for having those ongoing conversations with your kids:⠀
⠀
📢Be human. It’s ok to not know all the answers. Your job? To lead with love and openness, and to use resources and experts to find the answers.⠀
⠀
📢Know that these are ongoing conversations. Hard topics aren’t a one and done type of dialog. As your children grow up, and have new experiences, you’ll have more conversations.⠀
⠀
📢Facts and Data are more effective than scare tactics. For discussions about Underage Drinking, I love Ask, Listen, Learn as a resource for parents and teachers. It addresses brain development, and has some REALLY cool videos and interactive tools for kids in grades 4-7.⠀
⠀
📣I’m sharing more tips and resources over on the blog today.

🌴These happy faces? Are because we spent the day lounging by the pool instead of hiding from loud machines.  If you follow along on our stories, you know that we came home from a trip to Bass Lake and Yosemite LAST week to…..WATER EVERYWHERE.  It’s all still being sorted out, but…..in the meantime there are some very big and loud machines starting the process of removing the water from our floors / cabinets and downstairs area. ⠀
⠀
🌴So when we had the chance to do a little staycation at the Hyatt Regency Newport Beach after our Touch of Disney day…….CLEARLY it was a YES.  This was my first time to this property, and it won’t be the last.  Three pools, super close to a ton of fun activities (18 miles from Disneyland, and an 8 minute drive from the Lido Marina Village), plus they’ve got a GREAT dinner option and a coffee shop in the morning.  This was JUST what we needed,  now I’m just busy plotting ways to stay longer.⠀
⠀
🌴Have you done an emergency home renovation? Did you stay? Because, I’m about to vote for us just taking up residence at the Hyatt Regency Newport Beach until all work is done.  You support this choice, right? ⠀
