Non-Alcoholic Citrus Margarita

Non-Alcoholic Citrus Margarita

The weather is warming and I would be remiss to look ahead at the good times to be had and not come prepared with a drink. In this case (and since Cinco de Mayo is right around the corner), a very delicious non-alcoholic citrus margarita.

Hello, Sunday.

Whew, it’s been a whirlwind few weeks. I got back from London only to get a “tag, you’re it!” from my friend V, who came to visit and inspired a little day trip to Toledo to see the eclipse in totality. It was truly more thrilling an experience than I could have imagined.

So here’s to friends that tag you on the best adventures!

The month doesn’t show any signs of slowing down, with a weekend jaunt to Nashville coming up and yet another work trip to California at the end of the month. While exhausting, it does give me opportunity to catch up with friends, both old and new.

And how are you? I hope you’re easing into spring more gently than I have been!

Anyway, on to the internet’s good (?) words.

Speaking of the eclipse – kids never forget their favorite teachers

Gosh, an adult gap year sounds heavenly, but finances aside, I’d miss my Crawley too much (and we just celebrated our 8th anniversary yesterday!). Would you do it?

Why do people underestimate the power of women’s interests and the money it can generate? Stupid.

Bookmarking this- how to caramelize onions in half the time

Ahh, another reminder of the high cost of being single. BUT- I love the idea of doing a cake tasting. Maybe I’ll be doing this for my next big birthday.

Hankering for the nomad life? Italy’s got your back.

Ooh, shame shame Trader Joe’s.  This is sketch. Imitation is the most sincerest form of flattery…but there’s a line.

Dumplings with wings! I had gyoza like this at Disney and it’s amazing. I am definitely going to try it. 

Oh gosh, did anyone else cross-stitch as a kid? Apparently, it’s back.

Easing into salad season with this gem.

Have a great week!
