Thirsty Thursday: Green Apple Martini

With many schools starting back soon, I thought all the parents out there could raise a glass, to toast this past summer, and surviving daily "what to do's" and "I'm bored days" with your kiddos!  Now, they'll be back to school, back to a routine, and back to "lots to do".  Good luck to all the parents with children starting kindergarten and college...as I think these two years will be the toughest!!  Cheers, Y'all!
