Celebrating May
Happy Tuesday friends. I hope your Monday wasn't quite so Monday like. Once a month I like to share with you images from the past month. Shots of my everyday and what I celebrated. I like it because it gives you insight into how I celebrate and entertain at home. This past month was surprisingly busy at work, leaving me too tired to entertain on the weekends. I did get a few fun parties in, but mainly spent time enjoying relaxing days off. We did however accomplish a big task off the to-do list, create the perfect rum punch. After our trip to the Bahamas last year, we were left longing for our own signature rum punch recipe. We finally took the time in May to research and concoct our version of paradise in a cocktail. Also this month, I shot a fun summer ice cream social for the next issue of LPF Mag and hosted a sizzling Mexican fiesta for Cinco de Mayo. I finished out the month of May by enjoying a laid back Memorial Day washing cars and sipping on a sweet strawberry mojito. All in all May was a busy, but fun month and I can't wait to see what June has in store!
What did you celebrate last month?

The Happiest Hour {Strawberry Mojito}
Happy Tuesday friends! I hope everyone had a very relaxing and safe holiday weekend. We spent it hanging out with Rob's family and celebrating his mom's birthday. It was such a great relaxing weekend that I'm kinda sad is over. I want to continue the party today though by sharing a cocktail recipe that surely makes me wish today was Friday once again! Through the summer months, I'm a sucker for a fruity cocktail that is full of fresh fruits and light on the artificial juices. I've had a hankering for a mojito for a while now and with a pint of fresh strawberries hanging out in my fridge, I figured what better way to enjoy both! The combo creates a light and easy drinking summer cocktail full of flavor and freshness. Here's the recipe...
:: Ingredients ::
3 Strawberries, halved
5 Mint Leaves
1/4 Lime, juiced
1/2 oz Simple Syrup
2 oz White Rum
Club Soda
:: Directions ::
In a cocktail shaker, combine strawberries, mint leaves, and lime juice. Muddle until strawberries are juiced and mint leaves are bruised. Add simple syrup and rum. Shake vigorously to combine. Pour over ice and top with club soda.
