Recipe for Preserving Children

I read this yesterday and thought it was so cute - it may have been around awhile and I somehow missed it until now. When I read it to my sister, she told me she heard it before - I was reminded of the time I excitedly told her about a new great recipe I tried called Jello Poke Cake. I was then informed the recipe had been around for years and years and was certainly nothing new! (I then politely reminded her of our 25 year age difference, me being the youngest).
Anyway, here's the "recipe" which supposedly originated on a vintage cookie tin.

Here's a new cocktail recipe I tried & enjoyed last night. I think I've found a new favorite!

Fresh Green Gimlet
1 TBSP sugar
juice of 1 lime
4 TBSP vodka
fistful of crushed ice

Spoon sugar into large tumbler, squeeze over the lime juice and dissolve. Add vodka and ice. Swirl to mix and top with a dash of carbonated mineral water.

The recipe says to add mint leaves if you like. Makes only 1 drink!

Holy smokes, I haven't posted for so long that I almost forgot my sign in name!

In the last few weeks I have:

- Participated in the First Communion plans, preparation, and parties for my 2nd grader

- Been in a car accident

- Dealt with a skin cancer scare of my husband's

In the last few weeks I have NOT:

-Planted any flowers

-Read any books

-Listened to any music! :(

So I very much look forward to getting back to a normal routine! I think I'll start with going blog visiting!
