Welcome back to the Merry Monday link party! I hope you had an absolutely wonderful holiday with your family! We’re technically still in the middle of celebrating our holiday.

We are incredibly blessed to have so many wonderful friends and family that love up and want to celebrate with us. Of course, that takes its toll this time of year when we are on 1 full week of gatherings and celebrations. When you suffer with depression, it’s a lot to get through.

Sometimes warming up (or cooling off) with a delicious holiday drink can help soothe your anxiety. I especially love warm drinks for this because they just warm you up all over. Luckily, this list is chock full of awesome recipes to do just that.

You know those people that complain about how glitter gets everywhere, especially with kids? Yeah, I’m not one of those people. Of all of the things that sometimes drive me crazy about motherhood, that isn’t one of them.

I love glitter. I use it in my crafts, on my nails, and even to wrap my gifts. For that reason I perpetually look like I’m trying to get into an under 18 dance club but it’s worth it.

When you love sparkly stuff that much it’s only natural to take it to the next level… like with your food and drink. Last year, I experimented with these Sparkly Peanut Butter Caramel Chocolate Truffles and they are delicious and beautiful. This year, it’s time to add some shine to the drinks with this glittery pink holiday punch.

Seriously, the pictures don’t do this drink justice. It is the exact right amount of sweet and tart plus swirling with gorgeous sparkles that brighten up every party in minutes. This delicious glittery pink holiday punch is also family-friendly so no worries about letting the kids sip on some this New Years Eve.

They will love it even more if you serve it to them in fancy party cups… although I totally recommend investing in a plastic set. Remember when we talked about things that kiddos do that drive you crazy sometimes? Yeah, breaking your glasses definitely falls under that category. Take the risk out of the situation with some kid friendly party “glasses” instead.
