The summer is in full swing here and I'm doing my best to step away from my natural tendency to act as Julie Your Cruise Director and let my girls come up with their own ideas of how they would like to fill their days. Yes, some days I do have certain things planned, but I'm easing up on the reins and letting them have "time". (We're only a week and a half in to this plan, so we'll see how long this lasts ;->). So let's have a good ol' time at this weeks Virtual Girls Night Out and see what happens!
*The VGNO is for those who want to party "virtually" with other bloggers. Get on your fuzzy slippers, make yourself a cocktail, and have fun! Leave a comment, along with your blog link, to let us know you've stopped by and visit the blogs of those that have visited as well. Happy VGNO!*
Time For Some Tunes!
The Lumineers "Ho Hey"
This so is just so sweet. Nice and light, perfect for a summer day, frolicking in a flower filled meadow. I'm not the only one that does that, am I?
Time For A Cocktail!
Basil Blossom
Ingredients
4 Fresh Basil Blossoms
1 ½ oz Vodka
½ oz Chambord or other berry flavored Liqueur
½ oz Peach Schnapps
½ Peach
½ Lemon
1 ½ oz Orange Juice
Directions:
Cut peach into small pieces and add to a shaker. Take two Fresh Origins Basil Blossom, torn into pieces and squeezed lemon, and add to shaker and muddle. Add Vodka, Chambord, Peach Schnapps, and Orange Juice. Shake vigorously, pour into ice filled Collins glass. Garnish with 2 Fresh Origins Basil Blossom, and peach slice.
After a couple of these you just might see me frolicking in a field near you!
Time For A Giveaway!
I am so happy to be able to participate in a giveaway that is being hosted by Bargain Hound and My Frugal Wife. Have you heard of Diamond Candles? If not, they are lovely scented soy candles that have an incredible surprise in them. As the wax melts down you will discover inside a ring that holds a gem and that gem could be worth $10 or $5000. Isn't that wild?? Enter to win at my site Ann Again... and again Reviews. Good luck!
All right blog pals, I hope you have a wonderful time at our Virtual Girls Night Out. Cheers!
