Great Options for Keeping Cool and Refreshed during the Summer Months - Michelob Ultra Light Cider Review

What does summertime mean to you?? For me, summer is the perfect time for kicking back and enjoying a cool refreshing drink with lots of friends and family. I like to splurge and have a cool drink every now and then and not worry about the added calories I am drinking along with the yummy food I am enjoying with the summer cookouts.

Just recently, I have found the perfect solution for a cool beverage that is great on taste and low on calories. Anheuser-Busch's Michelob ULTRA announced the newest addition to its portfolio, Michelob ULTRA Light Cider, a naturally sweetened and gluten-free cider made from crisp apples. *Michelob ULTRA Light Cider has 1/3 less calories than an average of the leading regular hard ciders, 120 cal./serving in light hard cider vs. 180 cal./serving in an average of the leading hard ciders. Please take a moment to visit Michelob ULTRA light cider page on BlogHer.com. Likewise, feel free to visit our Sponsor's site Here. I am sure you will agree that Michelob Ultra Light is the perfect choice for enjoying a delicious refreshing drink and not having to worry about counting calories and sacrificing great taste.

Myself along with several of my friends certainly enjoyed the naturally sweetened cider made from hand-picked apples. The taste is crisp, light and so refreshing on a scorching hot Texas day. The plus to this cider too is it can be served over ice in a glass or straight out of the bottle. We had old vintage metal buckets packed with ice and loaded with Michelob Ultra Light cider and it was a great way to display for a party. Not to mention, the packaging was really cute too! This was a real crowd pleaser and will be sure to make the menu options for future summer get togethers.

Are you planning lots of summer parties or hosting weekend get togethers? Which favorite summer meal or activity do you think would go best with Michelob ULTRA Cider?

When my facebook status is put to the test........

For those of you who follow me on facebook, you may very well remember my status about two weeks ago. My husband had been gone on vacation for only about two days and I soon discovered a real eye opener....my status read:

"dear husband.....I have discovered you do more than just watch TV......I will never say that again.......hurry home......but enjoy your vacation...... ♥"


So imagine yesterday if you will, the day after he returned home from his extended vacation. I was running around the house trying to unpack his bags, start a mountain of laundry (his laundry), all the while doing all the normal housework chores for a Saturday.


I walked down the hall in the middle of all of that and this is what I see......at 2:00 pm in the afternoon......

.....somehow, I think he got wind of my facebook status a few weeks ago and intends to take me at my word......ahem!!!


Happy Fathers Day to all the dads out there....Happy Fathers day to my husband who is an amazing dad and friend!! 

I am cooking his favorite meal today, and canning some more pickles..(we have cucumbers running out our ears) I hope to maybe find a minute to do a little sewing.


One thing I have learned....be careful what you say on the internet...there are too many witnesses.... and you just might have to keep your promise!! Have a great Sunday everyone!!!
