Peanut Butter Cup Martini

Thank you to The Motherhood and Real California Milk for sponsoring this discussion.

#CAmilkdrive
This peanut butter cup martini is the perfect dessert cocktail! (and ideal for after trick or treating and adult Halloween parties!)It's fall, and Halloween is on the horizon.  As we start to think about the holiday season…..it's family time.  From Halloween to Thanksgiving and beyond, we spend a significant amount of time around the table with family during the fall and winter months.  I'm teaming up with California Dairy Families to talk about family time and the importance of dairy intake (plus to share a pretty awesome way for adults to enjoy a Halloween cocktail).

We all know how important dairy is.   A single cup of whole California Milk contains nine essential nutrients, including eight grams of high-quality protein per serving, which is important to kids, moms and dads.  Did you know that milk is one of the most-requested nutrition staples at food banks? 

California Dairy Families are doing something amazing this fall. To help those who need nutritious California milk, California’s more than 1,400 dairy farm families are pledging $100,000 in matching milk donations to the Great American Milk Drive–equal to 20,000 gallons or 320,000 servings of milk–through the end of the year.  Want to help? You can donate one gallon of milk for just $5 at www.MilkLife.com/Give. $100,000 of total California milk donations made by the end-of-the-year will be matched by California Dairy Families. 

Awesome, right? To celebrate, I teamed up with California Dairy Families to create a fun way for moms and dads to enjoy the first holiday of the year…..Halloween! This peanut butter cup martini is the perfect Halloween cocktail, once your ghosts and goblins head to bed…….grown ups can create their own treat!

☀️ Cheers to: summer vibes with friends that a ☀️ Cheers to: summer vibes with friends that are easy

🥤right? My absolute ideal summer date with a friend involves a cool drink and a lazy afternoon.

❓Now the question…..what’s the best summer drink? Swipe to the end for mine (ha, IYKYK)
❓ Are you an introvert or an extrovert? Pretty ❓ Are you an introvert or an extrovert?

Pretty sure these photos display which I am 🤣

In all seriousness, these are some of the photos I took while I was at the Mom 2 Conference up in LA, the first larger group event I’ve been to in years. I was reminded how I THRIVE in a community setting (there’s your answer by the way). So my homework? For me self care looks like: plans with humans outside my family. A few times a week. Because it fills my cup.

🗓This is your reminder to make one on one plans 🗓This is your reminder to make one on one plans with your kids.⠀
⠀
Not gonna lie, I almost skipped this. It’s been a busy couple of weeks, but last night…..Lydia and I had a mommy and me date at Legoland on the agenda. Spoiler, it was the most fun we’ve had in a LONG time and….note to self, book more dates with my mini-me. Let’s be honest…..time moves faster and faster and….she’s going to be OVER these mommy and me moments in the blink of an eye.⠀
⠀
🏁About last night: we got to participate in a preview of the new LEGO® Ferrari Build & Race attraction at @legolandcalifornia and I have to say……Lydia is already asking to go back.⠀
⠀
🏎What is it?⠀
- this adorable attraction has three separate areas: a place where you’ll get to see a ton of cool Ferrari gear and info AND a Ferrari F40 model built completely out of LEGO bricks, a building area for making your own car and testing it on multiple race tracks, and then an area that SCANS YOUR CAR and allows you to digitally race other builders)⠀
- honestly? This was just as fun for me as it was for Lydia, and the teacher in me is required to tell you…..this is a perfect example of STEM / STEAM being a part of play. She built a car, tested it, then adjusted so it would move faster…..and I loved it!⠀
⠀
Highly recommend a visit!⠀
⠀
🗓Do you do regular one on one plans with your kid? Suggestions? I think we’re going to book one thing a week from here on out!⠀
