DIY Gingerbread Vodka Moscow Mule

November 9, 2017~ Christmas, Cocktails

I know it looks like the TGIF cocktail series has ended, but I thought I’d bring it back for a spin on a classic – the DIY Gingerbread Vodka Moscow Mule. This is no normal cocktail though, I made the gingerbread vodka, decked-out the decanter, and then got a chance to sample the bevies once they were made. This Gingerbread Vodka Moscow Mule looks (and tastes) SO good that you’ll be making a list and checking it twice (a grocery list that is) before the post is up.

And if you’re joining me from any of the other participants in the Handmade Holidays Hop – hosted by Smart Fun DIY  — welcome! I create bright, bold, colourful and eclectic home decor and DIYs. Make sure you check-out the rest of my work in the project gallery // here //.

JB’s Montessori playroom is looking pretty good, JB’s Montessori playroom is looking pretty good, especially now that all the Christmas decor is gone. Bear in mind, this is what it looks like before a child has actually had a chance to play in it 😂

I think we’ve all been feeling a little powerles I think we’ve all been feeling a little powerless these days, but @laybabylay made a great point in her stories the other day: you can always do something nice. You can buy the order of the person in line behind you at the drivethru. You can donate to charitable organizations doing things you believe in. You can make a meal for your neighbour who might be having a hard time with lockdown. It’s amazing how much better I feel when I do something nice, and I bet you will too ❤️

“Life is what happens when you’re busy making “Life is what happens when you’re busy making other plans” - John Lennon. 😎 As a family who moves a lot, we’re ready for a new chapter/ new house, but I’m not sure if I’ll be able to leave all the memories! We brought June home here 😭 she learned to walk here, and said her first words here. I wonder what other “firsts” she’ll have before we move. [pictured, June in a messy kitchen last year]

*insert pun about light* AD: our Kai sconces from *insert pun about light* AD: our Kai sconces from @mymitzi make this wet bar. Sure, secret thing else contributes to the #retroaesthetic , but lighting sets the mood. These brass sconces blend right in when they need to, but gleefully take center stage after dark. What do ya think?
