Daily's Frozen Cocktails

Wow is time flying. There has been so much going on.  Yesterday was fun because I got to go shopping with my sister in law for shoes and jewelry for the bridesmaids in her wedding. We picked out some cute shoes.  We are counting down to the big day next month. 

All of a sudden in the last two weeks the heat has cranked up here and it has be hot!  So I've wanted something cool to drink. I thought today would be a great day to share one of my new finds since the holiday weekend is here.  I was shopping at Wal Mart and they have these Daily's drink pouches you can freeze and they already have the alcohol in them.  The one that caught my eye was the lemonade so I purchased that and a peach diaquiri one.  I have tried the lemonade twice and oh my heaven it is wonderful!  I don't like drinks that have a strong alcohol taste and this doesn't taste strong at all.  All you do is throw it in the freezer and once it freezes it is ready. The lemonade is like having a lemon icee.  You can really enjoy the lemon flavor.

I highly recommend trying these.  I haven't tried the peach yet.  If I remember correctly, one packet was $1.67.  These would fit easily into a small cooler.

So, I hope you have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend.  Be safe out there! 

Fabulous Favorite Friday

So it is Friday. Thank goodness! I had to play hookie from the blog yesterday because I've taken over as coordinator of my MOPS (Mother's of Preschoolers) group. I've got to be insane having two little ones and taking on this challenge, but I felt called to do it and wanted to see the group continue. So, I had my first meeting with my team and it went well. I'm so blessed to have an awesome group of ladies to work with and we are excited about the new year which will start in the fall. If you aren't familiar with MOPS, be sure to check out http://www.mops.org/ to find a group in your area. It is a wonderful resource for moms with young children. I can't say enough good things about it.

For today's Fabulous Favorite Friday pick, I wanted to show you our latest hot weather treat. I've become such a fan of adding Crystal Light to my water that I was pleasantly surprised to find that Crystal Light has frozen pops. This box came with Raspberry Lemonade and regular Lemonade flavored pops. Since I've become such a fan of the Raspberry Lemonade in my water, I was excited to see it as one of the flavors in this box. We opened this box up on Tuesday and I had the Raspberry Lemonade pop and it was very refreshing. Perfect for these hot, humid summer days. I was surprised that Sawyer even wanted to taste it and kept coming back and asking for more licks from it. He is definitely in that picky toddler stage, so for him to come back and ask for more is a great praise for these pops. When he was sick during the winter we got popsicles for him and he wouldn't even try them, so I think these Crystal Light pops are a hit with him. So, I would call them "toddler approved". LOL

Have a great weekend and be sure to check back Monday for another edition of Mocktail Monday.
