I know not everyone is having warm weather right now, but this week in Arizona it is gorgeous out! Concocting up cocktails is kind of one of my husband and I's thing so naturally warmer weather means SANGRIA! We spend a lot of time outside here playing corn hole or just watching the kids play so an ice cold beverage ALWAYS sounds like a good idea to me. Mark loves to be in the kitchen making different things so on the weekends we tend to spend a lot of time there together. If we can't find a sitter for the kids and I am wanting a date night this is our go to activity--he normally runs to the store for ingredients and then when he gets back we cook and have a cocktail while music plays in the background drowning out the sound of our children (whom I love dearly, but sometimes are entirely too loud). It works for us, and I LOVE having these pictures to show us at this stage of life!!!
