Pink Coladas, Pink Porridge

There are oh so many ways to bring pink into your life! Even a little splash of pink in food and drink can help! Here are two examples I use regularly.
pink virgin coladas
My husband and I are in a very romantic phase at the moment. We've been together over three years now and I'm so happy our love is not diminishing like you're sometimes told it will. We keep 'lovey-dovey' ice cubes in our freezer, and pop them into our drinks all the time, although now winter is coming, maybe not so often anymore! One of our favourite drinks is "Pink Colada". Its just a normal pina colada, but instead of using pineapple juice we use apple and strawberry juice. Last night we made some, but this time we used Lychee Liquor instead of rum, and I served them in my special pink wine glasses, so these were some yumscious cocktails!
pink porridge
Now the weather is turning cooler, its time to use up the last of our porridge before I buy some more. I try and keep some raspberries in the freezer, buying them when they are on special, so we can throw a handful into our porridge, making it a very cute pink! Sometimes, we might have forest berries instead, or blueberries which are very healthy, and the porridge still comes out a rosy colour. Having pink porridge for breakfast is always a cute way to start the day, and my husband doesn't mind at all! (and I rather like the messy dribbles, they make my foto more artistic, kk? lol)
pink children's book
We were going to visit my family today but aren't going now. I'm disappointed because I got some gifts for the children, including this cute litte book, which I just noticed is Pink!
PS. Happy Mother's Day for tomorrow!

And don’t forget to stop by Beverly’s blog for more details on Pink Saturday!

Each Sunday morning I like to visits lots of Pink Saturday posts, its a great thing to do while I have my morning coffee (as I'm in Australia, most of the posts appear for me during the night). I visit everyone who comments on my blog, and today I also visited all of our new Pink Saturday participants. One new blog I'd highly recommend a visit to is A Gathering of Thoughts by Rebecca, its a simply gorgeous site and very PINK!
