Hello and welcome to another December weekend. This one is a milestone for us because somebody turns two today. It’s hard to believe — how did time fly? We’ll celebrate with a party now and do something special on his actual birthday Sunday. Expect tears of joy and lots of hugs.
Looking for a festive holiday drink? Try Vanilla Ginger Cranberry Margaritas for a bright, seasonal cocktail. If you’d prefer something to share, White Christmas Margarita Punch is a great option. And of course, a nice glass of wine never hurts this time of year.
If you still need gift ideas, take a look at the shop page and the holiday gift guides for curated suggestions. I’m almost finished with my holiday shopping and feeling relieved.
Have a wonderful weekend. xoxo
