Dear Winter Storm,

Thank you for…everything.  We have slept in, watched movies, washed all the sheets, powered through multiple mid-afternoon slumps, and taken the sled out for a few rounds of Please Don’t Break Any Bones. Always a delight. 

You’ve made your point. We see you. Thank you for the ice…it’s really beautiful up close. Maybe a bit too much this time, but what do I know?

Anywho, party’s over. It’s time to go. These kids have got to get back to school and so help me if I don’t interact with other adults soon I am really going to lose my marbles. 

Here’s your purse and keys, one last hug, can’t wait to see you again, have a safe trip home. 

Thanks so much. 
Love you. 
Bye.

I celebrated my birthday with a cocktail party, and it was one of the best (and easiest) events I have had the pleasure of hosting.​​​​​​​​​
The evening was beautiful, the friends amazing, the drinks incredible, and the secret to all the fun was a twist on traditional hosting rolls.

All the details are on the blog!

Let's play a round of Top Three Bar Cart Favorites Let's play a round of Top Three Bar Cart Favorites.  I'll go first.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Gray Whale Gin because it's delicious, and I love how the turquoise bottle stands out among the other bottles.  So cute.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Empress Gin because it's purple and beautiful and is the gin for people who think they don't like gin.  Trust me.  It's a winner, and makes a wonderful gift.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Perrier-Jouet champagne in the small bottle because it's my favorite champagne and reminds me to celebrate often..​​​​​​​​

What's on your bar cart?  What's your favorite bottle and why?  Any cute cocktail accessories I need to know about?
