Plume & Petal: Mother’s Day Spritz

Filed under: Mom Life · April 24, 2021

There’s nothing like being a mom. It truly is the most rewarding title in the world, but sometimes momma needs a break and a cocktail!!! Cue the Plume and Petal Lemon Drift Spritz! After ripping and running around all week from school activities and work I deserved to treat myself. Right?

The Mother’s Day Spritz kit from @plumeandpetal is the perfect way to kick off your Mother’s Day festivities. Each box includes all of the fixings to create the Plume and Petal signature spritzer. This is a delicious naturally infused vodka that is light and refreshing. Best of all it doesn’t contain any artificial flavors. The signature spritzer has fewer calories than a 5 oz glass of white wine. It’s so perfect for unwinding with your mom squad whether in person or virtually.

I really love the flavor and the packaging. It makes me feel like I am on a trip relaxing in the Bahamas! They also make great gifts. I just ordered a few for my besties. So grab your Plume and Petal Spritz kit for you and your crew this Spring before they are sold out! You definitely deserve it momma! Cheers!

Signature Spritzer Recipe:

1.5 oz Plume & Petal – Cucumber Splash, Peach Wave or Lemon Drift

3 oz club soda

Signature fruit garnish

***Serve over ice

Happy Mother’s Day!!!!

What Moms Really Want

Filed under: Mom Life · May 4, 2018

Mother’s Day is right around the corner so I know the hubby and the kids are already planning on what they are going to give us this year. (Hint, Hint) Most moms really just want a few hours to themselves to relax, a clean house and to eat dinner while it is hot, sitting down. Do you stand up while eating too? But…. if you need some other suggestions here are our Top Ten gift ideas for Mother’s Day.

You can never go wrong with a nice handbag!

Nike Sporty Chic Jumpsuit to chase the kids in!

Something sassy and sweet

Instead of one massage, a monthly massage membership!

A pair of running shoes because most of ours are 3+ years old!

Anything from Tiffany’s

A clean house!

A flowering plant that will last for years and remind us of our children’s love

Fenty Beauty Products!

A sweet note of thanks for all of the hard work that we do daily!

Why Every Momma Needs a Mafia!

Filed under: Mom Life · May 2, 2016

On Saturday morning I text my friend that I may need to bring my youngest to the Mother’s Day Brunch. She politely responded, “You can’t find a sitter?” I was like oh damn I better find a sitter cause that meant no kids allowed. I quickly called my mom and told her my situation. The Miami Heat game 7 was at 1 p.m. and my oldest daughter’s soccer banquet was at noon and the Mother’s Day brunch started at 1. OMG! Overbooked once again. Thank God my mom said ok.

After spending 45 minutes at the soccer banquet, I dashed to Grove Isle to meet up with the Mafia. We had the most beautiful afternoon celebrating motherhood and talking trash. A stranger asked me were we some kind of kinky group lol. (She saw a few games on the table) I explained that they were kids dvd’s and games. (Really they were) She wanted to learn more about us. I shared how this fabulous mom started an annual Almost Mother’s Day brunch gathering her friends. She said, “I told them you guys weren’t playing with kinky toys!” Lol!

Bottomless mimosas and the beautiful sunshine kept us laughing and chatting for hours. It was great to see old faces and meet new mommas. We took lots of pictures and just enjoyed spending a few hours away from our normal Sunday. One of the best things about the mafia is that we all come from different backgrounds, lifestyles, and careers but the one thing that we have in common is being a mom. No one understands #momlife like a mom! The late nights, co-sleeping, can’t fit into my jeans, my man doesn’t understand, do I really have to do this everyday life of a mom. It was awesome to bond and celebrate each other. So call up your mommy mafia and plan a fun mom’s day out and RELAX! You deserve it!

Cheers,

Sharonda
