Fresh Watermelon Mimosa...

Yay...its the official start of summer and you know what that means BBQ's, get togethers, or just relaxing in the backyard. I hope you enjoyed your long weekend, ours was spent laying sod for our backyard that we are fixing up, appropriately called the #384yardcrash. Its so exciting to finally have grass, we are caring for it like a newborn! It was lots of hard work, but totally worth it. 

I have a quick fabulous drink recipe that can be made with or without the booze. Its great to serve at all your summer festivities or to use up extra watermelon you may have on hand. 





What are your go to summer drink recipes?

I'm linking up at The Time To Sparkle link party, HERE. The Inspiration Gallery, HERE. And Best of the Nest, HERE.

Raspberry Champagne Cake and Celebrating the Blog's Birthday...

Today my little blog is ONE! One year, I cannot believe that I've been doing this for 1 year. Here is my FIRST POSTI have learned so much, and still have so much more to learn. All you readers have been so kind to me and thank you so much for continuing to read. Sometimes I question why I even do it, and then I'm reminded by someones kind words; and that's what keeps me writing. I have plans for improving the whole look and design, as well as getting a new bad ass camera. Not sure when that will all happen, but those are the plans. 

Happy Birthday House of Ruby Jean!!!
