For all the mommy’s that need a break

When the little ones push you to the brink, sometimes you need a liquid escape hatch to pull you back. Thankfully, American Drink has a post of actual recipes for imbiding parents. My favorite is for the truly desperate:

Sippy’s Surprise

half-full sippy cup (contents unimportant)
2 oz. liquor (type unimportant)

Take whatever liquid your kid refused to drink. Add booze and ice. Replace lid. Keep out of reach of children.

Karen O covers Willie for Chipotle

Following up on an earlier post, Back to the start: Willie, Chipotle and a pig, Chipotle just release another track. Karen O delivers a beautiful, haunting cover of Willie Nelson’s classic “Mammas Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up to be Cowboys.”

In the film, director David Altobelli tells the story of three boys exploring an empty house late one night. The boys break into a farmhouse that was clearly abandoned in a hurry some time ago. As the three explore the house – and even begin to vandalize it – one boy slowly comes to see that the family that lived there was not so different from his own. He realizes that the house they are trashing could foreshadow the future of his own family’s farm and home. A frightening moment in the house sends the boys running back to the comfort of their still-functioning farms.
