SuperFun Adult Drink Pouches FTW!

I totally enjoy kids things more than I'd like to admit.  I'm just that kinda mom.  One thing I've always been envious of is those darn juice pouches.  Why do kids get all the cool stuff?  Love packing them for the beach, at the park, by the pool.  I always think of Summer fun when I see juice pouches.  But maybe this love and fascination goes way back to my childhood, visiting my grandpa in the Philippines for the Summer and ordering a drink from the corner cantina.  The vendor would pour a bottle of soda into a baggie, throw a straw in there and tie the plastic bag.  Sounds crazy, right?  Oh but it was so fun as a kid!  So when I was brainstorming what cocktail I should create for the #NickMomPJParty at #SoFabCon14, I came up with a kid-inspired adult twist I'm calling SuperFun Adult Drink Pouches in Fresh Watermelon Margarita flavor!  I want to attend SoFabCon because I had a blast last year.  I learned SEO, bonded with fellow bloggers and it snowed!  SNOW in Arkansas in May made my life! So if I win, we can be sip sipping these babies at the pajama party!    



Super easy to make and you can find the long reclosable bags at your local craft store in the jewelry supply section!  Cheers!  






For the virgin version, just remove tequila!  You can also add fresh lemonade or lime slices to be extra!  This recipe makes 6 pouches.
  
Like a #collectivebias boss!

Favorite Food Friday!

This post was supposed to be done yesterday for Things I Love Thursday but I had deadlines and decided to do Favorite Food Friday!

I made Baked Mac 'N Cheese once before and it was crappy.  I'm not the type to give up and thanks to Pinterest searching, I was successful!  My Husband Chris couldn't stop kissing my butt about it.  SOOO SOOO GOOD.  I also made Tri-Tip in my Crockpot - that came out so good too.  I didn't shred it like the recipe called for - I prefer it sliced.  I'm trying to get into the habit of using the Crockpot because Summer is hot and I refuse to use the stove/oven.
Mac 'N Cheese Success!
To counter our indulgence in delicious comfort food, I cut up some fruit.  I love Spring & Summer when just about every fruit is available.  
Fresh fruit!
