I received compensation and product for this post from Unique Beverage Company, LLC. All opinions expressed here are my own.  I was born and raised in a small town in Washington state, right up on the edge of the Canadian border. The type of place where everybody knows each other and where the people are excited to lend a helping hand whenever someone is in need. I stayed there for 32 years. Went to college there, got married there, had babies (and started raising) them there; we adore the community.  Now that my family, as of this year, splits our time between Washington and Florida, I’ve come to learn that there are certain products I can’t get in my new location, so when I’m back in Washington I’m sure to stock up and enjoy! Cascade Ice has been a long time favorite of mine and with so many flavor and product offerings it’s easy to see why. Click Here to Find Cascade Ice at a Store Near You! View all of the Cascade Ice Originals flavors HERE.Today I am enjoying the Cherry Limeade that offers a sweet cherry taste complete with a classic lime tang. My favorite part about Cascade Ice Originals is that they deliver exceptional flavor without the calories. All 19 Original Sparkling Water flavors are sugar free with zero calories. I poured the Cherry Limeade into a glass with ice and added a lime wedge today making it a quick, easy and delicious red and green holiday drink!  19 Original Sparkling Water Flavors:Blackberry Black Raspberry Blueberry Watermelon Cherry Cherry Limeade Coconut Cranberry Pomegranate Kiwi Strawberry Lemonade Orange Mango Peach Mango Pink Grapefruit Pomegranate Berry Raspberry Lemonade Strawberry Lemonade Strawberry Orange Mango Strawberry Watermelon Watermelon Lemonade Wild Berry    I’m giving away 2 Cases of Assorted Flavors of Cascade Ice! Head to my Instagram post HERE for more information!I like to store my Cascade Ice in the refrigerator so that it’s nice and cold whenever I want to grab one; I find it so refreshing! I typically drink Cascade Ice on it’s own, straight from the can or bottle, but it is also a great, zero-calorie cocktail mixer. My favorite cocktail to make is made with vodka, Cascade Ice (in any flavor, I like to change it up!), a splash of pineapple juice and a squeeze of lime. Try it and let me know what you think! You can view the entire lineup of Cascade Ice Originals flavors HERE along with other product lines they offer like Originals with Caffeine, USDA Organic, and USDA Organic with Caffeine. I hope you have a happy holiday season with friends and family; thanks for reading!

Last week, mid November 2021, portions of Whatcom County, Washington suffered a devastating flood. It was the worst they’ve seen in 31 years and many people lost their homes, vehicles, businesses and belongings. Many of these homes were NOT in flood zones so no flood insurance. Those in flood zones were hit incredibly hard and although homes are insured in most cases belongings, appliances, furniture, etc are not. I was born and raised in Whatcom County and continued to live there up until a few months ago so it is near and dear to my heart. It’s an amazing community and I have close friends and family members greatly impacted by this. Many have to find somewhere to live for the foreseeable future while still paying mortgages, insurance deductibles, and replacing belongings that were ruined. I wanted to help in some way and many of you have reached out asking how you can help too so I am sharing GoFundMe pages for a few families that can really use our help. Every dollar counts; I know they will be so appreciative! Prayers would mean so much to the community as well!❤️❤️❤️ The Barnhart family of 7 is expected to be out of their home for 6 months: https://gofund.me/9b68cb7b The Lara family lost everything in the flooding in Sumas: https://gofund.me/b6272ff1 The Colacillo family had severe damage in all rooms of their home: https://gofund.me/2f0cd197
 Snacks, a cozy spot and the new My Little Pony: A New Generation movie..sounds like a perfect night to me! We are so excited to watch it on Netflix when it comes out on September 24th, 2021! Growing up I was a huge My Little Pony fan and it has been such a fun way to bond and relate to my girls. I remember sitting in my room playing with my ponies as a child; brushing their manes and tails and coming up with adventures for them. Now it’s really come full circle seeing my girls do the same. They are now 5 and 7 but have been playing with My Little Pony figures for years. Thank you to Hasbro for sponsoring this post. As always, all opinions are my own.   Above: Sunny Starscout Rainbow Reveal Below: Friendship Shine Collection (14 ponies!) and Color N’ Style Purse Set  We were able to score some new My Little Pony figures, pajamas for the girls, and even a retro tee for Mom that are exclusively at Target to add to our collection, amp up our excitement and familiarize ourselves with this new generation of ponies featured in the movie!  Sunny Starscout has been a new favorite around here and when you’re this cute and come with 17 accessories what’s not to like! An extra added bonus is the colorful rainbow pattern surprise hidden under her hair; just use the special braiding tool (included) to reveal it!  Above I’m holding the Friendship Shine Collection consisting of 14 3 inch ponies featuring favorites from various generations. This would be a great gift idea for any little girl 3 and up! They are adorable and you are able to get a lot of characters at a low price point with this set.  The excitement surrounding this My Little Pony: A New Generation Shining Adventures Collection clearly can’t be contained around here! My girls play with this 6 inch size My Little Pony figure the most. This set is perfect for any mane-styling enthusiasts: 4 of the ponies have soft, long manes and all 6 have tails for brushing and styling. Comb included!   The years pass by so quickly and sweet moments like this I just want to slow down and last forever. Seeing my girls together giggling and using their imaginations to recreate moments inspired by the movie is so special, especially when they request that I join in on the fun!    We grabbed a few yummy snacks, the girls put on their cozy, hooded My Little Pony PJ suits, smacked on their My Little Pony snap bracelets, I threw my on Jrs Retro Tee and we’re ready for the new movie. Don’t forget to look for it on Netflix!   We made a fun Valentine’s Day snack board recently, filled with sweet, salty and savory treats everyone is sure to love! It was such a hit with my family I thought I’d share it here too. If you have kids they can even help, or put the board together themselves. What we added: summer sausage Laughing Cow cheese wedges salami Whisps crackers m&ms strawberries raspberries licorice Almond Roca Rice Krispie Treats wafers Carrs crackers We enjoy a mix of sweet, savory and salty items but you can change it up how you wish and even make it strictly a dessert board if desired. I added roses for display and that was a fun touch too!    The little fingers just couldn’t stay away!☺️These snack boards are always such a hit. Another fun idea that we have been making lately for snacks or even lunch are charcuterie cups! Meat, cheese, crackers, fruit, veggies, etc!   If you make either of these I’d love to hear about it!

This year, more than ever, it’s important to remember our small shop owners and small businesses. Many have been forced to close their doors for periods of time due to COVID-19 and even those that never had a physical location to begin with have missed out on endless fairs and craft show opportunities in which they typically market their products. In addition to that, there are also fewer buyers this year due to job losses in our communities. I’ve rounded up a few small businesses that I enjoy and wanted to share with you this season. I have shopped at and enjoy SO many small businesses and wish I could include everyone! Shop Lindsey Moceri
