Shirley Temple Drink
A non-alcoholic beverage that brings me back to my carefree childhood.
Drinking a Shirley Temple on the rare occasions that my family went out to a restaurant . . . that was pure joy back when I was 6 years old! This is my fancied-up version of that favorite childhood drink.

I absolutly love your pics, your story AND that drink looks and sounds yummy!
Thanks Jessica! I have read your fierce story and it is so inspiring.
Well done! I love your blue wig I love your little mini me and I love that you’re fierce! I don’t think ill ever share my fierce story online but it’s there and I love fierce chicks!
Thanks Mel! I must admit that I was a bit hesitant to share a personal story. Then I thought about it and figured… eh, only about 5 people will read my entire post instead of skipping down to the recipe. I thank you for being one of those 5! And, I’m so glad you didn’t miss my modelling debut 😛
Oh my goodness, thank you for being so REAL & open Nicole! I know many of your readers will be able to relate to this & it will encourage more people to be real about what’s going on in life instead of just covering it up with alcohol, food, shopping…. whatever it is that we try to cover things up with! Thank you so much!
Thanks Gillian! This was new for me, I never share personal things on my blog. I hope it does help someone along the way. It is very easy (especially in the blogging community) to look at everyone’s ‘picture perfect’ lives. That is usually just the highlight reel. I know I am Far from perfect! Now I just need to work on my Nutella addiction 😉
