Neither Annie nor I drink. That being said, the reality of mommies needing a little stress relief is not lost on our un-inebreiated minds. Every woman, no matter what her child count, needs a little more love and a lot less criticism. I made this little Mommy Margarita Relief Package especially for that cause. Send one to your friend with twin two-year olds, to your own mother for helping you through “the meltdown”, or your bff who inspires you to be the mother you want to be! It’s not alcoholic so you don’t need to worry about the effects of it on her kids (or her driving) and it sends a quick message that says, “You are the best mom in the world. Take a little me-time. You deserve it!”
Nothing in the package needs be baked or made and so it won’t add to your To Do list. If you want to add more and you have the time, go for it. Keep it simple though, because if you are anything like our average reader, you are a woman who does a lot and has a lot on her plate as well. (On that note, if you need to just make one for yourself that is SO completely okay with me. I actually made one for me too. Those Margarita Sours are addicting!)
So here is what do you need to help out a mommy in need:
1. Mama’s Little Book of Tricks by Lynn Brunelle
2. Red Stone’s Margarita Sours or bulk margarita sours
3. One martini Glass – I love these or these.
4. One bright bag (love this zebra printed one!)and tissue paper
How do you package it all together? First crumple a few tissue paper sheets in loose balls and stuff it near the bottom of the bag. Then take each tissue sheet by the middle lightly gathering up each corner and then holding the middle point you have made stuff one sheet for each corner of the bag. Then set the book in the back poking halfway out of the bag. Add the candy and margarita glass filled with a clear baggie filled with a few extra sours in front of the book. Make sure they are peaking out of the bag enough to be seen buy not so much as to threaten a margarita massacre by spilling out of the bag. Add a quick note on the tag of the bag and…Voila! Your friend has a new fairy godmother sans wings!
