Cool down this summer with this refreshing Tropical Pineapple Coconut Sangria! It's an instant party in a pitcher!
If you've been around these parts the past handful of months, you know that Asheley and I are expecting our very first little one. Baby girl Olivia was due this past Sunday. Apparently she's stubborn and is enjoying her current stay a little too much. So after our latest sono appointment just the other day, our doctor has decided to evict her... apparently she's getting a bit chubby (a true sign that's she's my daughter).
So, at this very moment that this post is live, Asheley is being induced into labor. And no, I'm not typing this out while she's in labor. Give me some credit. I scheduled this sucker yesterday. I'm right there by her side... for her to scream at, curse at, and verbally abuse however she sees fit until this baby girl safely arrives.
I don't know what it is, but almost all of our friends doing the whole baby thing recently have also had girls. So it's a good thing our little Olivia can have a baby boy friend pretty soon... it's time to celebrate my food blogging friend Zainab as she and her husband Mr. J are expecting at the end of July! #woot
I couldn't be happier for my virtual food blogging friend, and wish you both lots of joy and happiness as you grow your family to a party of 3! And big thanks to Alice @ Hip Foodie Mom and Allie @ Baking A Moment for getting this virtual baby shower organized! You ladies are the best!
For those of you that know Zainab, she is obsessed with tropical flavors. Now, I know... she totally can't indulge in this Tropical Pineapple Coconut Sangria right now. But hey, this baby boy will be here before we know it, and there will be a whole lot of summer left for Zainab to kick back with Mr. J and enjoy a glass!
