Walking Watermelon

Hello readers, it's me Katie. I know, I've been on a major blogging hiatus and my days are waning. With ten to go before baby McB arrives my motivation to do anything but the bare minimum is essentially non-existent.

As the D.C. temps increase, so too does my waist size. The little gummy bear has quickly turned into a full grown watermelon....and to ensure that I hit all the pregnancy clichés, watermelon is ALL I want to eat. Last week I went through three with only a little help from Dr. B.

And since I can't enjoy a nice refreshing gin and tonic or glass of rose like the rest of you, we're getting creative over here with our mocktails. Enter the watermelon mint slushie.
