It’s Time for Quarantini’s! 

It’s been quite a week and have been home working on projects: cleaning, organizing drawers in my kitchen and the pantry (hopefully we will start on our home remodel by this summer!).  Next week is another quarantine week and I have more projects on a LONG list! I don’t want panic or anxiety to set in so I am trying to stay busy.  In a way, this time at home is good to focus on projects here and not be distracted by appointments, meetings and more.  Looking forward to checking things off my list that I’ve been putting off: gardening, cleaning out our storage room, putting out our pool chairs and tables, putting up wallpaper in our powder bathroom and cleaning out my closet more.

BUT coming back to today……t’s finally the weekend and I think It’s time for a Quarantini Cocktail!

I put together a few drink recipes that also include what I posted about earlier this week:  Apples & Lemons!

Hope you are all staying healthy and safe!

Cheers~
