Wassail Sparkler Cocktail Recipe

Wassail Sparkler Cocktail Recipe

Hello Pretty Ladies,

I hope you’re having a great week and that you’re enjoying your Holiday season so far. I know for many moms this is a hectic time of year, trying to get everything done while enjoying & also creating the magic of the season. Remember to take a breath, and know that you are your own worst critic. Stop and enjoy all the small moments. 

Here’s a cocktail recipe that is always a hit and will make your entertaining easier. 

Wassail Sparkler Cocktail Recipe

Wassail Sparkler 

A cocktail that’s a hit at every Holiday party. I love having a yummy “signature cocktail” in a Pitcher for entertaining: It’s an easy way to have a no-host bar. Tip: make it without alcohol for non-drinkers, and keep the alcohol nearby for guests who want to use it. For instance, this cocktail can be served with Champagne, Prosecco, vodka, or rum.

Recipe:

-Trader Joe’sWinter Wassail punch

-Orange Juice Wassail Sparkler 

-Poppi Cranberry Fizz

(Or cranberry juice and sparkling water, or cranberry 7-Up)

-Your favorite Prosecco or champagne (or skip for a non alcoholic cocktail)

-Blood oranges

-Limes

-Cranberries 

-Pomegranate seeds

Garnish with 

Rosemary & a slice of orange

Wassail Sparkler Cocktail Recipe

In A pitcher, combine:

In a gallon pitcher, pour the entire bottle of Wassail punch, about 2 cups of orange juice, and one can of Poppi cranberry fizz; add two cans if you like it sparkling. 1 Blood Orange sliced, one lime sliced, 1 cup of Cranberries, 1/2 cup pomegranate seeds, and stir. Garnish with two springs of rosemary and a blood orange slice. Serve with prosecco or your favorite alcohol listed above.

Happy Holiday Entertaining!

Hello Pretty Ladies,

Can you believe we’re already in the last week of October? Fall this year went by in warp speed. It’s no secret that it’s my favorite season, and it just goes by faster and faster every year. I really enjoy taking in all the moments, colors, tastes, scents, and activities of the season. With that said, I had fun creating this Fall tablescape at the beginning of the season. To me, this tablescapes in volkes everything beautiful about the fall season. 

The statement pieces of this fall tablescape are these gorgeous Handmade Velvet pumpkins, with real stems, created by Hot Skwash. They create beautiful Velvet fruits and vegetables to use all year long for your home decorating needs. 

I am hoping you will find inspiration for your Fall or Thanksgiving Tablescape from our dining room to yours. Ox, D’Arcy

Need Help with Aging Parents? A Place for Mom

Hello Pretty Ladies, 

Today I am chatting with you about A Place for Mom. One of the things about midlife we don’t talk about often is becoming caregivers for our parents, which can be hard to navigate. 

Many of you know we lost my stepdad in January. He was the only grandfather my boys knew on my side and had been with my mom for 22 years. They live in Las Vegas, with no family living close by. I live in Utah, and my siblings live in California. This meant our mom was alone, with no family or husband. We had to act quickly to help my mom relocate, deal with family affairs, her health issues, and the emotions of the loss. I found out about A Place for Mom a couple of months after, having to navigate this part of midlife that nobody talks about enough. I thought this info needed to be shared as it could help someone else dealing with this in the upcoming months. 

 

Navigating Care

When my stepdad passed away, I suddenly found myself navigating care decisions for my mom, and I had nowhere to start. I now had to make fast decisions about what to do. I will not only take care of my dad’s last days and business affairs but also relocate my mom to Tuah to be closer to family. Although my mom can live and function on her own and she still has specific home needs as well as medical care. 

I wish I had known about A Place for Mom back then. They make the process so much easier by helping families find senior living or home care options that fit their needs. All at no cost to families. It’s an incredible service and resource for caregivers, especially during those overwhelming moments when every decision feels heavy. 

Living in different states

Even if family members live in different states, A Place for Mom’s advisors offer expert guidance to help families navigate the process from wherever they are. Which takes so much off your plate so you can concentrate on your loved one more. Learn more at aplaceformom.com.

About A Place for Mom

A Place for Mom has helped 2M+ families. They can help yours, too, with over 400+ local advisors who are trusted experts. They have 20+ years of experience helping families. In addition to their expert advisors, they also have so many resources for caregivers on their website to help navigate the process.

Creating A European Style Alfresco Dining Area

Hello Pretty Ladies,

Happy Sunday! Today, I am happy to share with you the outdoor dining space. Which I started creating at the beginning of summer (I shared a sneak peek a couple of times). As I put things together. I am all about romanticizing our daily lives, and what better way than to create spaces in our home that we can enjoy life’s little moments. 

Creating A European Style Alfresco Dining Area

Creating A European Style Alfresco Dining Area

Dining Alfresco

Our family loves to be outside and enjoy our outdoor living spaces. We recently redid two of our decks, and our deck off our kitchen, looking into our backyard, we reworked it and decided, besides having a sitting and lounging area, we would also like to include a dining for two space. I thought this would have a cute European vibe if I created it by my potted herb garden. This area sits right out our French doors off the kitchen. 

With beautiful views, a private sitting, and steps from the kitchen, it makes it easy and relaxing to have a morning coffee or evening drinks and appetizers. I hope you’ll enjoy a peek into this fun little dining Alfesco space, and maybe be inspired to create one too. Ox, D’Arcy

Creating a European-style alfresco dining area on our deck. Perfect for morning Coffee and reading or Evening Drinks and appetizers. Taking a simple spot on your deck or porch can easily become a pretty entertaining space for two. With a little imagination, a few treasures, and a lot of love, a European dining space can be created.

How perfect was the flying Hot Air balloon while I was setting up and filming this morning’s dining experience a month ago or so? We live in a lake/ski area mountain community, and hot air balloons often fly in the early summer mornings. I couldn’t have asked for better timing! 

Creating A European Style Alfresco Dining Area

Creating A European Style Alfresco Dining Area

To create an Alfresco Dining Space, you’ll need:

-A little corner in your backyard

-A bistro set or a small table and two chairs. I linked A few options here for you: Amazon, Target, Wayfair, Walmart, and West Elm

-Potted herbs (European restaurant outdoor dining areas often have a lot of potted herbs and flowers). Several even use a potted garden to block a street view to make it more quaint and private. 

– A chandelier 

-Potted Lavender, Dried Lavender 

-Pretty floral dishes

-Pretty coffee cups

-Napkins & rings

-Creamer

-Pretty serving pieces

-Layered tableclothes ( I love mixing textures, Linen, cotton, and Burlap)

-A rooster statue or a Pig is a great prop. Natural wood or painted white, or even Iron stone. ( My rooster is wood, and I painted it white, but I am going to sand most of it off to make it look like a French antique.)

– Items with a basket vibe ( I have a vintage French water Jug, and a vintage basket with a candle) 

-Galvanized watering can or cans 

-Wall fountain or ironwork for the wall

 

Sharing my affordable tips and how I created this inviting dining space

How perfect was the flying Hot Air balloon? While I was setting up and filming this morning’s dining experience a month ago or so? I live in a lake/ski area mountain community, and hot air balloons often fly in the early summer mornings. Couldn’t have asked for better timing! 

Easy Tips You Can Follow

-When creating or redoing a space in your home, see what you have that you can repurpose.

-Thrifting can be your friend. Remember, a few months ago, I shared these cute seagrass dining chairs I found at a thrift store. I knew they would be perfect for our outdoor dining space. All I had to do was clean them up.

-Tips when thrifting: Go with an open mind, and check back often. Thrift stores get new items daily, so you never know what you’ll find. 

-Depending on your budget, you can purchase from high-end antique and box stores or budget-friendly thrift stores and favorites like Amazon Home Goods and Tj Maxx. I like to do both. I love Antiques and high-end linens and dishes, but I also like thrifting and hunting at Homegoods and a good Amazon find. Mixing gives you a homier vibe along with a richer feel.
