Do you know what special holiday occured last Monday? Not Easter. Well, yes Easter, but I'm talking about a different, slightly more obscure holiday...
International Gin and Tonic Day!
Celebrating International Gin and Tonic Day
An Unusual Twist To The Much Loved Gin and Tonic
by: Lisa Thornbury
I am the child of pranksters, I married a jokester and my children appreciate the sheer magic of a whoopie cushion. I am a blessed fool.
This is why April 1st brings such joy to our home. We've pulled off a few golden pranks over the years but none compare to the genius of these. But first...
...the History of April Fools' Day
If you know me, you’re painfully aware of my love of puns and lust for alliteration. It’s genetic.
In lieu of a post about Easter party games or recipes, here are a few of my favourite Easter inspired jokes. I plan on cracking these out during our annual family brunch. On the menu; waffles, eggs, coffee and...a healthy serving of pun-cakes with maple syrup.

Lisa’s always loved a party. Having played bartender in a former life, this Party Mummy knows her way around a cocktail shaker and can shake her money maker. A sought after party guest, she’d jump at the chance to mix, mingle and be merry. Then she mixed, mingled and got married.
Now with two kids in tow, she knows firsthand how harried parents will often forgo being a social butterfly to stay at home and cocoon. But nothing would stop this Party Mummy...until her youngest was diagnosed with a serious medical condition. Then Lisa made the difficult decision to leave her teaching position after 10 years on the job and experienced a cocooning moment of her own. All of a sudden this Party Mummy was partied out. But she soon discovered that in the good times or bad, mummies still need to play and nothing could keep her from exercising her penchant for dreaming up playful, and practical, party themes.
So get back on the party train and join the conga line. Party Mummy reveals tried and true tips for entertaining and shares a few of her personal “what NOT to do” disasters.
