    The end of this year feels particularly bittersweet. 2018 has been SO good to me. It's the year I met my son, Cameron, and my heart will never be the same. It's the year I got to watch Alex become a father, and it's made me fall even more deeply in love with him, which I couldn't have believed was possible. It's the year I became a mother, and I've never felt such an intense love and sense of purpose.

    There is so much happiness in this current season of life, and I wish I could freeze time and live in this moment a bit longer. I've learned there's a term for this feeling: "nostalgia for the present".

    Despite my desire to freeze time, I am excited, as always, to see what the new year brings. So let's raise a glass of cranberry champagne cocktail and toast the new year!

    This cranberry champagne cocktail requires just three ingredients: champagne, cranberry juice, and elderflower liqueur (such as St. Germain). The champagne provides the bubbles, and the delicate sweetness of the elderflower liqueur complements the tartness of the cranberry juice for a beautifully balanced cocktail that's light and tasty. Garnished with fresh cranberries and rosemary, this festive cocktail is perfect for a holiday party or New Year's Eve celebration!

    Cheers to 2019!
