29th Year • Week Two

On the 12th I turned 29 (eek!) Part journal, part photography project, I will try to post weekly with my past week in photos. With a new camera in hand and a desire to document my last year as a 20-something here is my second week.

Here are my 7 favorites from this week:

I love Pinterest, don't you? Kevin & I watched a show called Moonshiners and it got me looking at different ways to make our own Moonshine. Which is doable, but not as easy as infusing alcohol. So Pinterest led me to this site that gives a great tutorial on how to make Jolly Rancher Infused Vodka. Totally had to try it out!  I made 8 different infusions that first day, 5 Jolly Rancher infused Vodka in watermelon, blue raspberry, lime, grape & cherry. I also made a starlight mint infused vodka and a werther's infused vodka. I also made a non-candy infusion of fresh raspberries, lime rind and a bit of sugar. This one will take about a month to infuse unlike the candy vodkas that are ready in a few hours. See More Photos of My Infusions.

We took the 5 flavors of Jolly Shots & the Pepto-Mint (looks like peptobismol) to our softball game that night, they were definitely a hit! We brought 6, 8oz mason jars and they were all empty by the time we left. See More Photos from Our Softball Game.

The last three of my favorites for this week are from our Nephew Liam's 3rd Birthday party. I would have taken more but I had to leave early and go to work. :-( See More Photos from Liam's 3rd Birthday.
