I love my kids, of course, but I love my mama time, too. I think some girls’ nights are an absolute must to save sanity! I have great groups of friends to get me out of the house once in awhile—the local moms club has a monthly “moms’ night out” and a group of friends I’ve known forever also tries to get together once a month! We usually take turns hosting and making dinner, sometimes we do something crafty, but we definitely always hang out and chat.
Planning a girls’ night in
Check out Inspiring Ideas for a Girls Night In
by Foodie Editor at Foodie.com
Here are some fun ideas on Foodie for drinks and snacks for a girls’ night in. We usually do dinner, but something tapas-style would be great—maybe each girl brings one and the host supplies the drinks?
Thanks to pinterest, we like to get crafty, too. We’ve made twine-wrapped letter wreaths, etched dish soap bottles, picture frames and more! You could also play a game or rent the newest chick flick. We leave the kids at home, play some nice music, and get comfy for a relaxing night of adult conversation!
This is one of my favorite drinks! It’s my own little mix for the best Raspberry Coconut Daiquiri EVER. We have some preggos in our group of friends, too, so it’s also really easy to make without alcohol and it’s still delicious!
- ~5 fresh strawberries
- 6 oz (one container) fresh raspberries
- 3 T sugar
- 2 T lime juice
- 1 cup Trop50 Raspberry Acai
- ¾ cup coconut rum
- 3 cups ice
- Combine strawberries, HALF of the raspberries, sugar, lime juice, and Trop50 in a blender.
- Blend until smooth.
- Add ice and crush until blended.
- Serve for a virgin daiquiri - or -
- Add the coconut rum and blend.
- Garnish drinks with the leftover raspberries & serve. YUM!

I haven’t had a girls night in, in forever. Now you’ve inspired me to plan one!

Oh yum! I am hosting a girl’s night in next weekend and there are so many great recipes around. So many to choose from but I have never heard of raspberry coconut together so I imagine it would be a hit for something new.

I’m really into anything with coconut. Do you think this would taste good non-alcoholic b/c I think I want to try and see!

Oh my goodness, this sounds awesome. I never thought of using Trop 50 in a drink like this. Thanks so much for the recipe
