Coconut Mojito

I don't like a lot of drinks, but I do love Mojitos, and I also love Pina Coladas! So when I saw this recipe for Coconut Mojitos in People Magazine I had to write it down. I have been saving it for a while now and finally got to try it out now that I am no longer pregnant! They are really good and sweet; just how I like my drinks.

Makes one drink

Ingredients:

• 8 mint leaves
• ½ lime, cut into 4 wedges
• ¼ cup coconut rum
• 2 tbsp. sour mix
• 1 tbsp. coconut cream, such as Coco Lopez
• ¼ cup lemon-lime soda
• ¼ cup club soda

Place mint leaves and 3 lime wedges in a cocktail shaker and muddle. Add rum, sour mix and coconut cream, then fill shaker with ice. Close and shake well. Strain mixture into a glass, and top with lemon-lime soda and club soda. Garnish with a lime wedge.

SERVING TIP: Serve in Mason Jar Mugs, $24 for a set of 6; potterybarn.com

Silver Christmas

I am liking all of the silver and white Christmas decorations this year! Here's how I have added some of it to our house this year for Christmas. I made a new bench cushion with Amy Butler fabric. The mistletoe topiary and wreath are from Target, and the silver ornaments are also from Target, and TJ Maxx. I found the silver branches at Pier One Imports; and they have a good selection of Christmas branches right now.

Christmas Decorating

It's officially time to start decorating for Christmas! I love all of the greens, silvers, and whites used in these pictures. These pictures are from Pottery Barn and bhg.

Pottery Barn

Pottery Barn has these items on sale right now and it is an awesome deal! The Chandler mall only had the green color left. But The i pod player is only $40 and the charger station on the right it only $20! Crazy good deal and would make a great gift.
