Hydrate

I drank A LOT of water when I was pregnant to stay hydrated and to keep swelling at bay.  However, now that I am a busy mom, sometimes I forget to hydrate.  And I can definitely tell when I haven't had enough water.

 

I found this "recipe" online and thought it sounded delicious.  Plus, it helps to flush out impurities and maintain a flat belly.  Yes, please, said the new mom of a four month old.

 

2 lemons

1/2 cucumber

10-12 mint leaves

3 quarts water

 

Brew overnight and enjoy!

 

 



Santa!

We attended the Hibernian Christmas party a few weeks back and guess who was there... Santa! 

As we stood in line waiting to visit with Old Saint Nick, Griffin, who was all dressed up in her smocked snowman dress, drifted off to sleep.

Although she slept through her first Santa experience, how precious are these pictures?!
