Let’s make milk punch with bourbon for the holid Let’s make milk punch with bourbon for the holidays with @mayfielddairy milk! (ad) 🥃 🎄

I just love hosting, especially for the holidays. Every year, we host Christmas eve dinner at our house, and every year I make a special cocktail for my family to enjoy. I keep it a secret, and it’s become such a fun tradition to see which drink I am whipping up for the year. This year I am making Christmas milk punch with Mayfield milk (you can also substitute Mayfield cream or half and half!) 🥛 

It’s not really about the drink for me, but about the gathering and memories created around it. I love how food and drink can bring people together! ❤️

When I create my special holiday drinks I don’t just use any ingredients. I love using Mayfield products because they are farmer owned, right here in my community. Mayfield products are super fresh and high quality. Most milk gets from the farm to your fridge in less than 48 hours! It doesn’t get much fresher than that, yall! 😋

Check out the recipe below to see what we are having on Christmas eve, and consider making a festive drink for your family this holiday season, with Mayfield products of course!

Christmas milk punch w/ bourbon:

 Ingredients:
1.5 ounces bourbon or brandy
0.5 oz amber rum
2 ounces Mayfield milk, half & half, or cream
1 tsp. vanilla extract
2 tsp. powdered sugar
Dash of grated nutmeg
Ice

Instructions:
-In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, pour in the bourbon, rum, milk product, vanilla and powdered sugar.
-Shake vigorously until well chilled, about 30 seconds.
-Strain into a short glass or festive small goblet. (I like to add ice to my glass too!)
-Dust with nutmeg and serve cold.

They 👏🏻 got 👏🏻 it 👏🏻 right!!! They 👏🏻 got 👏🏻 it 👏🏻 right!!! 

Before I set sail on my first @virginvoyages cruise in 2023 I didn’t understand what set it apart from other cruise lines. It didn’t take long for me to figure out why they are so darn successful-

A high tech, fun, friendly atmosphere where you don’t have to think about every little thing. Just relax, have fun, and create your own journey. Do as little or as much as you want! 

I have been honored to work with them since 2023 and it has been one of my favorite brand partnerships in my 15 years of being a creator. ❤️🥺

🚨 They have just released early Black Friday deals! 80% odd second sailor plus $300 in free drinks. 🍹 Click on the 🔗 in my bio to be taken to the discount page.

SO MUCH CHRISTMAS at @gaylordoprylandresort! #marr SO MUCH CHRISTMAS at @gaylordoprylandresort! #marriottparner 🎄

The resort in Nashville has so many family friendly activities we didn’t even do everything in the 2 nights we were there. (So you will not be bored!) 

Our favorites were ice skating, snow tubing, and of course ICE! featuring Frosty the Snowman™! There are 2 million pounds of ice, crafted by 40 master ice artisans from Harbin, China. They are so talented! ⛄️ 

A County Christmas boasts around 5 million lights, visits with Santa, and beautiful seasonal displays all over the resort. You will be fully immersed in the beauty and festive atmosphere. 

Start a new family tradition and head to Nashville before it’s all over in early January. Which activity would you like best? 🎅🏻

We had the BEST TIME over fall break at The Hender We had the BEST TIME over fall break at The Henderson Beach Resort in Destin, Florida! ☀️ (ad)

We watched this resort being built years ago and am kicking myself that it took us this long to come stay. We have been missing out!!! It is luxurious, a quick walk to the beach, and has too many amenities to count. BUT it’s also kid friendly. Who ever said luxury can’t also be kid friendly? This resort is a great mix of both (and has an adults only pool for those traveling without kiddos!)

One thing Bobby and I noticed is that it wasn’t really any one “big thing” that we loved, but lots of little things. For instance, the cups they give you drinks in were really nice and had the logo of the resort on them. There was water and towels at the pool. 24/7 Starbucks (that’s included!) fresh brewed right down the hall from my room. The spa was amazing with so much beauty. The rooftop bar had the best sunsets. There were fire pits  sprinkled all over the property. There is a lawn right outside the hotel doors with cornhole and other yard games in the afternoons. I could go on and on, but we just fell in love! 😍 

Next time you plan to visit the Florida beaches, be sure to check out @thehendersonfl, you won’t be disappointed! Nor to plan when I can go back…

🚨 CHRISTMAS DECOR HACK! 🎄 You will thank y 🚨 CHRISTMAS DECOR HACK! 🎄 

You will thank yourself next year! I always struggle to remember which decorations go where as I’m unloading my Christmas bins. It can be overwhelming! 

Do this to help: Once you get everything set up this year, take pictures, print them, and then tape them on the inside of the lids of which bin those decorations go into. 

That way next year when you open up the bin, you’ll know exactly where each decoration goes from that bin without having to think about it. 

Happy decorating! 🎅🏻 SAVE this for later or send to a friend who needs it!
