Watermelon Cooler
July 27th, 2016Comments: 5
It’s been a billion degrees here the last few weeks, and we’ve all been melting. We’ve been flying through water and popsicles, but I wanted the kids to have something a little healthier to help keep them cool. Annabel loves watermelon, so I made her a watermelon slushie drink — and I added some Prosecco…

On my birthday, I ordered a spiced strawberry sangria to enjoy while we lounged by the pool. It was sooo good and very refreshing, and I’ve been dreaming about it ever since. I figured out the recipe and it’s even more delicious at home when I don’t have to pay $14 for one glass!

We spend every New Year’s Eve at my friend Tara’s house. The kids all run around in the rec room, and the adults have fun upstairs watching the broadcast from Times Square while we eat a dozen different appetizers.

A few years ago my friend Amy completely revamped her health by adding in exercise and changing the way she ate. Two years later, she’s lost a ton of weight (ten sizes!) and is now a marathon runner. When I started trying to get my health back after James was born, she was not only my…
