So, hi. You guys want to know what’s stressful?

Photographing Baileys root beer floats. With a baby who awoke, mid-photo-shoot from his nap and demands cheerios! More cheerios! NOW NOW NOW NOW NOW!

Root beer everywhere…ice cream melting way too quickly.

Mmm hmmm. Lots of cheerios were flung. Lots of Baby Baluga was sung. Lots of root beer went everywhere.

But let’s just pretend that you are relaxing. Yes. You are very relaxed. It is Friday…you want a dessert. And a cocktail. And ice cream. And…here is the perfect combination of all three. Baileys root beer floats!

Adding Baileys to a root beer float totally changes it. The root beer becomes so much more creamy, and of course you get that hazelnutty yum-ness and also a little booze.

Then sprinkling some cinnamon {OK, it didn’t quite sprinkle like I’d hoped and went more like: poof!}, which makes this float feel like all things warm and cozy {even though you’re eating ice cream}, and just generally fall-ish.

And in case you’re still not convinced, I made you another GIF. I hope you’re not sick of them yet!

    I’ve been thinking more about babies these days, but I’m always wondering how it will effect the blog process! Hopefully you can just stuff a few cheerios in their mouth and they go back to sleep?! These ice cream floats sound so good, baileys is pretty much the best! I’m now way more excited for Friday cocktails 🙂

      My experience with blogs and babies: they don’t really go together…I could barely manage to heat up a frozen lasagna for the family when Kai was a few weeks old, let alone recipe test, photograph and write. Of course it depends on your baby, some are easier than others, and some actually take naps…mine: not so much 🙂 Babies are awesome and snuggly and cute and they are just the best when their little personalities start to emerge…but man, they are hard work!
