When your mom said, "half the fun is the stem ware." I thought to myself, I have found my tribe! You two are a hoot. I love to see you, your mom and your sister together. It fills my heart the love and fun you share.
I love how proper but,simple mom and daughter are they share the same taste in many ways! Samantha Grace has an exciting lifestyle ahead of her with grandma and mom…✨🤍
Glass Stem ware / bottles....for sure! I love all the old G l a s s ware. (Not all the plastic crap they make these days..) And when she said adding 'Honey' to the cocktails....they would have 'Medicinal purposes'. LoL. Medicinal: Tending or used to cure disease or relieve pain ( Relieve P a i n. 🤣) a medicinal compound / the plant's medicinal properties !
Good afternoon ladies. As a former bartender, I’m going to give you a few pointers to make your next afternoon cocktail show easier.😊 When opening champagne after taking off the foil keep your hand over the cage that’s around the cork. On occasion when taking the foil off, it will loosen everything enough that the cork could pop. So just gently keep your hand over the top of the cage as you untwist it. Once the cage is off, you can take a hold of the cork and just slightly turn it until it pops in your hand. That way you have more control over it and it’s not as nerve wrecking. My second tip is for the lemon twist. You want to do this without the flesh in the lemon slice. Then you’re going to literally twist the peel with your fingers to help release all of the lovely essential oils that the peel holds. You then run the ride along the rim of the glass to give a taste of its essence in every sip you take. Then just drop the twist into the cocktail. Hope this helps. I’m here for all of your cocktail needs. 😂 Your drinks looked fabulous. Cheers!
I want to add to your advice Drape a cloth towel/dinner napkin over the cork. It will give you the grip you might need when twisting the bottle and cork in opposite directions. It also makes the uncorking so much safer. I know this because I've opened THOUSANDS of bottles of Champagne and Sparkling wines. Cheers!
Opening champagne bottles for the wine and cheese receptions at the bed and breakfast where I was an innkeeper, we held the cork still and twisted the bottle. It was the easiest of all the ways I ever opened a bottle of champagne.
The look on Laura's face when the shaker lid blew...priceless! What a moment you'll both giggle about for awhile. Lovely time spent in the Hartley. I want more of these videos!
You needed a muddler! Wish you had one of mine! When Mojitos first were a hit, Bacardi rum came with a muddler! I had so much fun today watching your afternoon of cocktails. I love your videos and all of you!
Years ago, my husband packed our kid’s lunches for school, and one day, he gave them each a fruit from the fruit bowl. When they returned home from school, they both told me that something was “weird” about the oranges they ate at lunchtime. I thought it was odd too; as I had not bought any oranges🤔 Then I realized what had happened. Two of the three Meyer’s Lemons I had bought for a dessert were missing from the fruit bowl. 🤣 The kids told me they were a little tart but they still ate them completely. I’m sure their faces were something to see around the lunch table. 😂
You and your Mom have such a special relationship 🥰 I lost my Mom over 20 years ago, so watching you two brings me such happiness! What a fun way to spend the afternoon….homemade cocktails in your beautiful Hartley with your beautiful Mom! Cheers to you both….
Sorry for your loss 💞I lost my mom too quite some time ago and I love to see Laura and her mother share special times like this, and in the Hartley with beautiful flowers all around.. It's a perfect day!
On my 4th day sober and this video is so sweet. I wish I had handled each cocktail like it’s own special recipe mixed up and ready to appreciate. Gardening helps me with my mental health and I am grateful for your videos ❤ love from Rachel
Proud of you Rachel! You got this girl. When it gets hard, break it all the way down to one breath at a time. Call out to Him with each breath. Jesus, Jesus, Jesus. He is right there with you. And I am sending love and light and hope straight at you. ❤
This was Awesome! From the laughter, to Popping the Champagne Outside, and the Top Blowing Off the Shaker! PRICELESS!!! I woke my husband up laughing with you guys! ❤ Going to try the Cocktails.
Oh my! “Half the fun is the stemware”. I am identifying with your mom. Right away I texted my daughter to set a date for cocktails on the deck with her. Once again, Laura, you hav romanced the ordinary, brought joy, & been inspirational. Thank you!! Keep having fun with your mom!!
Always know I’m going to enjoy your video when your mom is featured. She is such a lovely lady! And the way you interact with her and enjoy her company is heartwarming. Oh, and almost forgot!, your spring plants are very pretty. Looking forward to your projects next week!
Sending love to everyone in the comments missing their moms! These two always make me miss my mom, and she’s just on the other side of the state! I am forever dreading the day I don’t have her anymore! 😭 Love to you all ❤
I love that you don't just show gardening itself, but how the enjoyment of it's fruits can be year round! Gardening isn't just the labor, it is also the savoring. :)
My mom is gone since 2003. We always had tea in the afternoons. My dad built his own bar in the den and had all the barware. Miss them both. So glad for this video!!! Such fun to see how you enjoy one another's company and 'support'!!!❤❤❤
I think this needs to be in the monthly rotation of videos. I smiled the whole time. I was hoping it would get a little more unhinged and messy by the third cocktail. 😂 Sooo fun to watch!
You just know after the cameras stopped rolling, another Bourbon Smash was made! 😊 I think I'd like the French 75! Also, I liked how Laura's mom mentioned the "shyness" of Hellebores. I always thought of their nodding heads as being "reverent," just bowing their sweet heads in reverence, like they'd be nice in a tribute garden. Fun video!
I don’t drink so I wasn’t interested in the recipes and I started fast forwarding but I didn’t want to miss any of the banter between the two of you so I stopped. SO glad I did as I was able to catch the surprise “explosion”! That was hilarious! You guys are the BEST!
What a fun afternoon! Wouldn’t this be fun for a Super Bowl party. Trying out cocktails made with fresh garden ingredients, some mini tacos and snacks, chip and dips. - whatever sounds good along with the company of family and friends! 💚💚💚
Oh My Stars! When the top blew off of the shaker was the best laugh I've had in a LONG time! What a fun afternoon. I don't have the beautiful greenhouse, but an afternoon with my mom experimenting with a few cocktails sounds like a wonderful way to spend a winter weekend afternoon. Thanks girls!
This is one of my all time favorite GA videos. You two are a delight! Maybe next time you can send out the recipes ahead of time and we can have a cocktail watch party with you 🥂
C'mon guys, for cocktails...you measure with your heart. 😘 💛💚🍹(and the effervescence was essential oil) Thanks for sharing your mom time with us. I miss mine so much!
❤😊 Thank's Ladies ❤😊 I was sitting in our car waiting for Hubby's get done with Appointments @ VA, i received his texting saying Another hour might be... I said oh Goodness let's see what Aaron's and Laura up too today, How Wonderful ❤😊 Both are A Great Joy's Thank's for giving Me Joy's in my waiting time ❤😊 Best way too hv laughing My Joy's With You's Big-Hug's XOXO ❤😊
Thoroughly loved this video! The mother daughter closeness makes me miss my mom sooo much (she passed 2001). And the kids…. Picking out flowers/plants making salads with the groomed items! Just love it and the LOVELY Hartley!🥰🥰
Laura, I love your mom's sense of humor. After tasting the second cocktail, you mentioned using honey in place of simple syrup or maple syrup...Susan said that she loves honey and that it is medicinal... then came this gem, we could have a cocktail that's medicinal! LOL, she has the best one-liners.
I always enjoy seeing you and your mom together. 😊 and Monica. I think it's time for another antiquing shopping video. 😊 I still would like to see you,Aaron, your mom, and dad sit down together and talk shop. I really enjoyed the video of you interviewing your dad.
Ladies you are so adorably enchanting!! You both make me smile!! Love your giggles and smiles! My favorite person in this world is my Momma and I just delight in getting to share in your festive fun!! Love… Love.. 💗
Essential oils! These recipes look so delicious! Next time y'all do this, should be a party of three, include Monica, and munchies. Make this a monthly ladies cocktail Swarey!
Looks like you both had a fun day! Would love to see a video of you both having your cocktails and then do a gardening segment right after! Now that would be entertaining!🤗🇨🇦
Loved the ‘Cocktails in the Hartley’ video! Would love to see you do this again after harvesting your berries, peaches, pears, etc - maybe with a variety of refreshing Sangria recipes!
Laura: *buys the best champagne* “I don’t drink champagne, is this a good one?” Lololol living vicariously through your late afternoon cocktail sesh while I’m pregnant! Please do another one after August 1st so I can join in from home!
So much fun enjoying the afternoon with you and your mom. I love the fact that you included Monica at least in a phone call. I love you all together. It is such a joy. I lost my parents a long time ago and just see your interaction with yours is just such a blessing, I tell you to have a great afternoon, but I think you already are
Laura, it’s so wonderful watching your video with your mom. Makes me miss my mom so much. As well as my girls. Having five children, and they all live away it brings me such joy to see your time spent with your family.
I so enjoy your gardening videos, I learn so much, but you and your Mom today made a special video. Love your camaraderie, you have such a great relationship. I too think the stemware makes the drinks, and those drinks look delicious! Cheers!🥂
Hi ladies, fyi, watching this video the second time and my man walks in the room and says, what, they are drinking now! I said yes, so fun. I missed Monica too…cheers to you all. We loved this, makes for a Hartley happy day!!!
Good morning beautiful ladies! The glasses are so beautiful, especially the ones that you had the champagne cocktail, gorgeous! Charcuterie board would have been great! Next time or some petite sandwiches and cakes! Love how Susan described the hellebores....shy.... beautiful description 💕 Have a blessed rest of the week Susan and Laura 🙏💕🤗
Cheers to you both! Your mom is a very special lady! When your mom is involved we know it's going to be a fun time! The cat lady! 😊 Loved your mom's reaction to eating the kumquat. Thank you so much for sharing, take care! Kathy x 🍾🍾🥂🥂❤❤
I think this might be the funniest video Laura's ever made, and I'm only halfway through it! 😂❤ Her face when the lid flew up as she and Mom facetimed Monica was priceless! Hands-down the best way to pass the post-Christmas winter weeks (sharing your lemon harvest with your family). Thanks for sharing 💛🌿🍋🍾
Hi Laura , this was so much fun to watch you and your Mom. I have been sober for twenty five years and to see that gasket blow off was hilarious , the look on your faces was priceless, thanks for the laughs 😊😊
This might be one of my favourite videos. Don't get me wrong, I love gardening and landscaping, but to see you guys relax and unwind was important and awesome! Well deserved!
Love you two together! Glad you got Monica in there too! What a fun video! When the shaker top launched you had me laughing a long with you. God bless your family.
Wear your” cat lady “ title with pride 😊 My mom started watching your videos. The first thing she noticed was how the cats follow you in the garden. She said you must be a good person ,because your animals love you so much.
Hi Laura! Haven't watched yet..couldn't wait to tell you I made the delicious carrot cake last night. My daughter walks in and I say Laura made carrrot cake. She smiles and says of course she did 😅
Love the time you spend with your Mom . How much fun is that, making cocktails with your Mom. She is so right. Half the enjoyment is presentation. The stemware was perfect. Your lemons looked delicious I can only imagine the scent. ❤
I laughed when the shaker top blew off...after you took such care to open the champagne bottle outside! At Christmas, I asked my daughter to open a corked bottle (assuming she knew how) and she shot my chandelier! Nothing broken, but it sure was loud! Cheers!
The top popping off the shaker was such a classic delightful surprise that will likely be one of the funniest memories. Love your candidness and down to earth honesty in all your videos.
Laura, watching you and your mom enjoying each others company brings a smile to my face . It brings back memories of me and my mom. We had a very close relationship too. By the way, when the shaker's top blew off the looks on your faces was priceless! Too funny!
the look on my husband's face when he walked in and said what are they doing??? 😂🤣😂🤣.. i said having the absolute best time!! what a hoot to watch you two sampling cocktails, and how fun... when Laura said she had 3 bottles of bourbon i laughed out loud, lol... how fun to be able to share these moments with you, and i 100% agree that growing your own and using it fresh is just the best... lifting my coffee mug up and toasting to your gorgeous stemware, too... 🥰❤thanks for the video!! 🥰❤
That Woodford Reserve bottle makes a PERFECT olive oil bottle. Have had the same one on my stove for over 10 years :) A pour spout fits perfectly on it!
The cocktails look so yummy 🤤 if I may give you some advice on opening a champagne bottle: if you hold the cork with one hand and grab the underside of the bottle with the other hand you can slowly twist the bottle with the hand that is holding the underside. Hold the cork firmly with one hand and while you twist you will feel the cork slowly coming out. That way you will never loose control over the cork and it will never shoot out as a dangerous projectile 😃 cheers ladies 🥂
Awww makes me miss my Mom. She and I used to have cocktails together at 4 pm sometimes and on days we weren’t together we would call each other and have cocktails over the phone together… saying , “ it’s 5 o’clock somewhere!” Love this!!! Enjoy each other! There’s no one like your Mom! ♥️👩🌾♥️
I just had my second baby girl and I pray that my relationship with my girls in the future will be like you and your moms! 🥹🥰 this made me want to host a cocktail/mocktail night with my friends. Cheers! 🥂
Loved this! Between uncorking the champagne, the cocktail shaker explosion and muddling with a knife (blade side up) what could possibly go wrong! LOL Reminded me of my Mom and our good times. Thanks for the laughs! (and recipes)
What a fun video! You ladies are delightful. My favorite thing about seeing your mom is thinking of mine. She was truly my best friend. Wonderful mothers are a blessing from God!
Loved the change it think it's great when your Mom is in your vlogs. It's nice to see the other side of gardening how your enjoy the fruits of your labor.
Hi Laura and Susan! What a fun video! Love the new plants and the ones Benjamin and Samantha picked out. From opening the Champagne, the shaker lid popping off and the banter between you both this was great! Thank you so much for sharing!
When your mom said, "half the fun is the stem ware." I thought to myself, I have found my tribe! You two are a hoot. I love to see you, your mom and your sister together. It fills my heart the love and fun you share.
I came down to the comments to say the same thing! 😅 Fills my heart 💕
yes! And the comment about the pretty bottles too. I have been known to buy the booze because I wanted the bottle.
I love how proper but,simple mom and daughter are they share the same taste in many ways! Samantha Grace has an exciting lifestyle ahead of her with grandma and mom…✨🤍
Glass Stem ware / bottles....for sure! I love all the old G l a s s ware. (Not all the plastic crap they make these days..)
And when she said adding 'Honey' to the cocktails....they would have 'Medicinal purposes'. LoL.
Medicinal: Tending or used to cure disease or relieve pain ( Relieve P a i n. 🤣) a medicinal compound / the plant's medicinal properties !
Stemware!!! Yes!!! I love it too. Nice slow mo replay on the top popping off the shaker,! Lol!!

Great pro advice- thanks
I love how it cut to commercial right before opening champagne. Epic timing!🤣🤣
Opening champagne bottles for the wine and cheese receptions at the bed and breakfast where I was an innkeeper, we held the cork still and twisted the bottle. It was the easiest of all the ways I ever opened a bottle of champagne.
Two women,two cats and number of liquor bottles,,,,what could go wrong?😑 😂❤
😂
ROFL😂
Too many things….🥂🍾
💥🍾💥 IF ONLY one of the cats would have been sitting by that shaker when it unleashed LOL 🤣🤣🤣🤣
The look on Laura's face when the shaker lid blew...priceless! What a moment you'll both giggle about for awhile. Lovely time spent in the Hartley. I want more of these videos!
If I could give you a double thumbs up I would!!!!
What a fun Day!!!!
I was laughing hard, too! 😊
Yess they need to do more making cocktails videos
My husband walks in the room and says, “ what is this, mom and daughter getting tanked day”?
Love it!
You two together make for a fun video. 🥂
😂😂😂
🍻 I loved it!! 😂
Hilarious!
You needed a muddler! Wish you had one of mine! When Mojitos first were a hit, Bacardi rum came with a muddler! I had so much fun today watching your afternoon of cocktails. I love your videos and all of you!
I laughed my butt off when that shaker lid "blew a gasket"!! The look on both of yalls faces was absolutely priceless!!😅
Wow, how I miss my mom!😢
This video is unhinged in the best possible way. 😂 I’d watch you and Susan make a cocktail video every month, ngl. This is so fun! 😆
Years ago, my husband packed our kid’s lunches for school, and one day, he gave them each a fruit from the fruit bowl. When they returned home from school, they both told me that something was “weird” about the oranges they ate at lunchtime.

Oh my goodness!!
The laughter!!😝😂😂 Blowing a Gasket😂😂😂😂😂
You two are a delight!!
I needed you both today!!
Thank you!!
🌸🩷💗🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵
Definitely make this a feature of your channel "Tastings in the Hartley". Both so fun plus Monica. Love the antique shopping episodes too.
You and your Mom have such a special relationship 🥰 I lost my Mom over 20 years ago, so watching you two brings me such happiness! What a fun way to spend the afternoon….homemade cocktails in your beautiful Hartley with your beautiful Mom! Cheers to you both….
I lost my mom 20 years ago and watching these two dolls makes me miss her so much!
I totally agree! Actually brings tears to my eyes!!😂
Sorry for your loss 💞I lost my mom too quite some time ago and I love to see Laura and her mother share special times like this, and in the Hartley with beautiful flowers all around.. It's a perfect day!
Dido, mine 8 years ago😊
I agree! I lost my mom just over 2 years ago, and this type of video brings me so much joy.
On my 4th day sober and this video is so sweet. I wish I had handled each cocktail like it’s own special recipe mixed up and ready to appreciate.
Gardening helps me with my mental health and I am grateful for your videos ❤ love from Rachel
Proud of you Rachel! You got this girl. When it gets hard, break it all the way down to one breath at a time. Call out to Him with each breath. Jesus, Jesus, Jesus. He is right there with you. And I am sending love and light and hope straight at you. ❤
🍾 I hope this video does not entice you to go back to drinking. You are on a good course with sobriety. Keep it up!!
Good for your, Rachel! I wonder if you can make these cocktails with sprite instead of champagne, or some other type of soda?
Celebrate your sobriety. Be encouraged and find joy in your new path. 💕
Stay strong! My 29 year old daughter has been sober for almost 3 years. She went cold turkey and is so incredibly happy now. You can do it!
This was Awesome! From the laughter, to Popping the Champagne Outside, and the Top Blowing Off the Shaker! PRICELESS!!!
I woke my husband up laughing with you guys! ❤
Going to try the Cocktails.
Oh my! “Half the fun is the stemware”. I am identifying with your mom. Right away I texted my daughter to set a date for cocktails on the deck with her. Once again, Laura, you hav romanced the ordinary, brought joy, & been inspirational. Thank you!! Keep having fun with your mom!!
lol I texted my sis and said we have to make drinks lol
Always know I’m going to enjoy your video when your mom is featured. She is such a lovely lady! And the way you interact with her and enjoy her company is heartwarming. Oh, and almost forgot!, your spring plants are very pretty. Looking forward to your projects next week!
Sending love to everyone in the comments missing their moms! These two always make me miss my mom, and she’s just on the other side of the state! I am forever dreading the day I don’t have her anymore! 😭 Love to you all ❤
I love that you don't just show gardening itself, but how the enjoyment of it's fruits can be year round! Gardening isn't just the labor, it is also the savoring. :)
Me too and AMEN 💥
It’s so fitting that Samantha inherited the colour scheme you and your mom enjoy.😂 Also Benjamin inherited Aron’s love of colour.
My mom is gone since 2003. We always had tea in the afternoons. My dad built his own bar in the den and had all the barware. Miss them both. So glad for this video!!! Such fun to see how you enjoy one another's company and 'support'!!!❤❤❤
I LAUGHED so HARD at the shaker lid!!! 👀😂😂😂 Aww I love episodes with your mom!! 😍🥰💕
Soooo Laura... Life provided you some lemons, therefore cocktails!!! 🤣 Love it ❤
I think this needs to be in the monthly rotation of videos. I smiled the whole time. I was hoping it would get a little more unhinged and messy by the third cocktail. 😂 Sooo fun to watch!
LOL. At LEAST bring the cats in for the cork popping and shaker explosions !!! 🤣🤣🤣
You just know after the cameras stopped rolling, another Bourbon Smash was made! 😊 I think I'd like the French 75! Also, I liked how Laura's mom mentioned the "shyness" of Hellebores.

What a great time spent with mom and daughter. That lid blowing off was a shock for sure. The glasses were the star of the show.
This is what I would do everyday in a Hartley! 🎉 your Mom is always fabulous on your channel. It just goes to show what a joyful spirit is contagious!
I always enjoy seeing you and your mom together. 😊 and Monica. I think it's time for another antiquing shopping video. 😊 I still would like to see you,Aaron, your mom, and dad sit down together and talk shop. I really enjoyed the video of you interviewing your dad.
I think that would be a great video!
Man, what a good time! Praise God for beautiful family relationships
Ladies you are so adorably enchanting!!
You both make me smile!!
Love your giggles and smiles!
My favorite person in this world is my Momma and I just delight in getting to share in your festive fun!!
Love… Love.. 💗
Rumor has it, Aaron found them on the floor in the Hartley! 😂
😂
Essential oils! These recipes look so delicious! Next time y'all do this, should be a party of three, include Monica, and munchies. Make this a monthly ladies cocktail Swarey!
At various locations on the property!
Ditto!!! Monica, was missed by a lot of us!!!!!
Looks like you both had a fun day! Would love to see a video of you both having your cocktails and then do a gardening segment right after! Now that would be entertaining!🤗🇨🇦
Oh my I had so much fun watching you and your mom. Your laughter is infectious. Best part of my day.
Loved the ‘Cocktails in the Hartley’ video! Would love to see you do this again after harvesting your berries, peaches, pears, etc - maybe with a variety of refreshing Sangria recipes!
Laura: *buys the best champagne* “I don’t drink champagne, is this a good one?” Lololol living vicariously through your late afternoon cocktail sesh while I’m pregnant! Please do another one after August 1st so I can join in from home!
I think we needed the laughs more than the colors this morning 😂😂😂😂 what a fun morning loads of laughter
So much fun enjoying the afternoon with you and your mom. I love the fact that you included Monica at least in a phone call. I love you all together. It is such a joy. I lost my parents a long time ago and just see your interaction with yours is just such a blessing, I tell you to have a great afternoon, but I think you already are

That was the best laugh I've had all day. Still chuckling
Cheers to you both! Your mom is a very special lady! When your mom is involved we know it's going to be a fun time! The cat lady! 😊 Loved your mom's reaction to eating the kumquat. Thank you so much for sharing, take care! Kathy x 🍾🍾🥂🥂❤❤
I think this might be the funniest video Laura's ever made, and I'm only halfway through it! 😂❤ Her face when the lid flew up as she and Mom facetimed Monica was priceless! Hands-down the best way to pass the post-Christmas winter weeks (sharing your lemon harvest with your family). Thanks for sharing 💛🌿🍋🍾
Love watching you and your mom! I lost my mom 8 years ago so, it’s so sweet that you share your mom with us!
Omg, when the shaker lid popped off that was hysterical! What a fun afternoon making & trying new cocktails! 🍸
Hi Laura , this was so much fun to watch you and your Mom. I have been sober for twenty five years and to see that gasket blow off was hilarious , the look on your faces was priceless, thanks for the laughs 😊😊
This might be one of my favourite videos. Don't get me wrong, I love gardening and landscaping, but to see you guys relax and unwind was important and awesome! Well deserved!
Your Mom is the best; such a treat.
Love you two together! Glad you got Monica in there too! What a fun video! When the shaker top launched you had me laughing a long with you. God bless your family.
Wear your” cat lady “ title with pride 😊 My mom started watching your videos. The first thing she noticed was how the cats follow you in the garden. She said you must be a good person ,because your animals love you so much.
Poor Douglas.😢
How fun! You two need to do another antique shopping trip!
You ladies are blessed. Such good vibes and definitely LOVE , spending time together. Priceless
Laura, I smiled the whole way through this video. Such a fun afternoon with your beautiful Mum. x
Hi Laura! Haven't watched yet..couldn't wait to tell you I made the delicious carrot cake last night. My daughter walks in and I say Laura made carrrot cake. She smiles and says of course she did 😅
lol
😅😢
This was sooo much fun. You and your Mom are great together. I loved Laura's expression when the shaker blew it's top!
I am French, I live in the region that produces champagne and I worked in the vineyard. You have a good champagne.😁
Mom looking like a era gone by starlet with her shades, so glad you guys are having so much miss Monica!
Love the time you spend with your Mom . How much fun is that, making cocktails with your Mom.
She is so right. Half the enjoyment is presentation. The stemware was perfect. Your lemons looked delicious I can only imagine the scent. ❤
Your videos are the best thing on TH-cam ❤
Loved this Laura!
Anything you do in the Hartley is glorious🙂
But even more so with your mom and a cocktail experience🙌💚
WHAT A FUN AFTERNOON AND THE BEAUTIFUL SUNSHINE!! 🎉🎉🎉
I laughed when the shaker top blew off...after you took such care to open the champagne bottle outside! At Christmas, I asked my daughter to open a corked bottle (assuming she knew how) and she shot my chandelier! Nothing broken, but it sure was loud! Cheers!
The top popping off the shaker was such a classic delightful surprise that will likely be one of the funniest memories. Love your candidness and down to earth honesty in all your videos.
I love the interaction between you and your mom. Getting this time with you mom is so special!
Laura, watching you and your mom enjoying each others company brings a smile to my face . It brings back memories of me and my mom. We had a very close relationship too. By the way, when the shaker's top blew off the looks on your faces was priceless! Too funny!
the look on my husband's face when he walked in and said what are they doing??? 😂🤣😂🤣.. i said having the absolute best time!! what a hoot to watch you two sampling cocktails, and how fun... when Laura said she had 3 bottles of bourbon i laughed out loud, lol... how fun to be able to share these moments with you, and i 100% agree that growing your own and using it fresh is just the best... lifting my coffee mug up and toasting to your gorgeous stemware, too... 🥰❤thanks for the video!! 🥰❤
That Woodford Reserve bottle makes a PERFECT olive oil bottle. Have had the same one on my stove for over 10 years :) A pour spout fits perfectly on it!
The cocktails look so yummy 🤤 if I may give you some advice on opening a champagne bottle: if you hold the cork with one hand and grab the underside of the bottle with the other hand you can slowly twist the bottle with the hand that is holding the underside. Hold the cork firmly with one hand and while you twist you will feel the cork slowly coming out. That way you will never loose control over the cork and it will never shoot out as a dangerous projectile 😃 cheers ladies 🥂
I was hoping someone else had commented this 😂 Twisting the bottle is the way to go!
@@Erin-tk5jwthat’s how I learned it at school and working as a waiter 😃
So Much fun!! Sharing with my daughter so this summer when we get together we can do this summer.
You and your Mom are so fun together. I love that you enjoy each other’s company! Beautiful plant haul.
I love the relationship you have with your mom.
I love watching you having fun together. I miss my mom
How are you ladies not feeling tipsy with those drinks? You ladies are so fun to watch. I enjoy watching all your videos, Laura. ❤😂
Your Mom is chefs kiss 😘! I love when you get to share her with us!!
Awww makes me miss my Mom. She and I used to have cocktails together at 4 pm sometimes and on days we weren’t together we would call each other and have cocktails over the phone together… saying , “ it’s 5 o’clock somewhere!” Love this!!! Enjoy each other! There’s no one like your Mom! ♥️👩🌾♥️
I just had my second baby girl and I pray that my relationship with my girls in the future will be like you and your moms! 🥹🥰 this made me want to host a cocktail/mocktail night with my friends. Cheers! 🥂
That Champagne is one of the bests there is.
Loved this! Between uncorking the champagne, the cocktail shaker explosion and muddling with a knife (blade side up) what could possibly go wrong! LOL Reminded me of my Mom and our good times. Thanks for the laughs! (and recipes)
What a delight to see you two ladies enjoying a dignified repast in the greenhouse.
Only you two start with the Queen of Champagnes🎉🎉🎉🎉and not know it😂😂
Oh my word 😂😂😂 I have watched that top blowing off and your faces so many times!!😂😂😂 SOOO FUNNY!!!!
You two are hilarious. Good times.
I could watch you and your mom make fancy cocktails all day!
What a fun video! You ladies are delightful. My favorite thing about seeing your mom is thinking of mine. She was truly my best friend. Wonderful mothers are a blessing from God!
Loved the change it think it's great when your Mom is in your vlogs. It's nice to see the other side of gardening how your enjoy the fruits of your labor.
Soul sisters to me! I could sit with my friends and daughter mixing new drinks and chatting. What a perfect way to spend an afternoon. Cheers!!
Hi Laura and Susan! What a fun video! Love the new plants and the ones Benjamin and Samantha picked out. From opening the Champagne, the shaker lid popping off and the banter between you both this was great! Thank you so much for sharing!
You and your Mom is so precious 💖
The two of you are a '''hoot", love watching your escapades together!
What a fun way to spend an afternoon and the relationship between you and your mother is priceless. Such a gift. Cheers!
