French Lavender

Champagne and celebrations are synonymous. In my mind, there’s always something to celebrate and, therefore, always a reason to drink champagne. Mother’s Day is a true reason to celebrate. As a mom, I now understand the desire to have a quiet moment to relax and if that moment includes a glass of champagne, even better! Whether your the mom or your celebrating your mom, this drink is just what’s needed.
