How To Make Your Own Limoncello Recipe

by

limoncello-recipe

I came across this Limoncello recipe and it brought back so many memories that I had to share it with you. I first tasted Limoncello at a mountain Distillery in Australia. We of course were talked into a few bottles of different concoctions from the amazingly quirky owners of the TamborineMountainDistillery. In fact the hand-painted bottle my Limoncello came in has only just been thrown away despite it being empty for more than 8+years. (I am a horder of pretty packaging and his wife hand-painted it). So you are wondering what this has to do with parties? Well apart from the fact you can drink at parties and this recipe will be a great drink it is also perfect for Favor’s. Sometimes a favor at a party might not be a candle or a silver key ring. Sometimes it i good to think outside the box and delve deep into your fun memories.

Reflecting on the Past Year with Kids

I’m in deep denial about the fact that new year is almost upon us again! It’s been the fastest and the longest year at the same time, and I can look back and see some good things as well as some things I wish had gone differently.

Doing a year in review with your kids — whether in the classroom or at home — is a good way to capture some of their memories and the things they really liked about the year gone by.

There are a lot of different printable year in review worksheets you can use if you want to make this super easy. Here are links to a few (often part of larger posts about NYE celebrations with kids that are worth a read, too):

  • Teach Beside Me has lots of fun printables fro the end of the year, including a year in review that covers favorite memory, funniest memory and the best book they read, among other topics.
  • NurtureStore‘s version has space for a self-portrait and prompts like favorite toy, best day out this year and future dream job.
  • Remember favorites, their “best idea” of the year and have room for setting goals for next year with this one from The Keele Deal.
  • The year in review from Yes We Made This has room for drawing or writing and includes things like something they learned, a memory they made and a place they visited.

Of course you could pretty easily make your own year in review for the whole family to do that asks questions based on what you most want to remember. (Favorite video game? Best friend? Favorite family memory?)

And if after the year in review you’re ready to look ahead a bit, Mrs. Merry has new year’s resolution printables to inspired kids to look ahead and set goals for things they want to try. You can totally fill this one out as a grownup, too.
