Blackberry Mojitos
If you follow us on instagram, you may have seen that we have been guest posting on At Home with Kristyn Cole lately. We recently shared this recipe on her blog and HEB even shared it on their instagram! We were so excited and really wanted to share this with y’all to enjoy as well!
Ingredients:
- 1 Cup of Blackberries (save some for garnish)
- 4oz White Rum
- 10 Fresh Mint Leaves
- 2 tsp of Sugar
- Juice of 2 Limes
- 6oz of Club Soda
Directions:
- In a shaker, muddle* the mint leaves and the sugar with either a muddler or a wooden spoon
- Puree the blackberries in a blender or you can muddle them as well (I just used my magic bullet)
- Add blackberries, rum, and lime juice to the shaker with the mint and sugar
- Shake it vigorously (or like a polaroid picture as you sing the Outcast song now)
- Add ice and club soda to a glass and then pour in the blackberry mixture
- Gently stir and add blackberries and mint for garnish
- Enjoy
*To muddle means to press the ingredients against the side of the glass, this will help release the flavors of the ingredients to mix well with the drink.
John and I have been having a blast making cocktails lately! Some of our favs have been Beermosas and Refreshing Pineapple Margarita!

I have no clue when, but at some point in my life I stopped eating ice pops. Those were a staple Summer treat growing up. Honestly, I loved those dang things and since it is already starting to heat up here in Texas, I thought I would put an adult spin on one of my favorite childhood treats. So, here ya have it Mimosa Ice Pops!
This time every year I get into a major Spring cleaning frenzy. Even though the house has been cluttered all year, I always seem to pick Spring to just finally give in and want to clean out every nook and cranny of the house. This year though is a little bit different. Since January, I have been reading a ton about decluttering my life and how it goes beyond just your home. The past couple months I have started focusing on "Spring Cleaning" up my life and while it does take a conscious effort each day, I wanted to share some of the things that have worked for me lately.
I love Spring. I love the new, the fresh, the clean, all of it. I also enjoy the chance to decorate our house again and give it a new look. If you are in need of some Spring decor inspiration or just want to see what we have going on over at the Lyons' house then this post is for you.
