HOLIDAY WINE 101
Oh hello, are we here again? The earth has once again made a full rotation around the sun, my fresh new Ugg boots are ready, my fingers are numb, and my tan is sadly faded. That was fast, right?…
URUGUAY, WHY NOT?
Uruguay, where are we? Does your 7-year-old know where Uruguay is? Mine does! Let me tell you, this has nothing to do with school or great parenting skills but everything to do with wine.
YOU HAD ME AT CHABLIS...
What can a girl say about Chablis? It’s kinda the middle child of Burgundy. You know, the amazing, kick a** kid who is left in the shadows of the younger and older siblings?
HELLO, LODI! NO WHINING HERE!
Lodi, CA. MY friends look baffled when I tell them where I’m going. My kids ask if they have a Target in Lodi. “Can you get us presents?” Really, they don’t care – they just want something shiny! And pretty much everyone else only thinks of Napa when they hear ‘California wine country.’
DRINKS WELL WITH OTHERS...
What’s a mom to do…and where has this mom been?
On the eve of my ‘big test,’ the odds seemed stacked against me. Child one broke out in hives. Just for fun? I don’t know. Still no idea why. Child 2 developed a 103 fever, later diagnosed with strep throat, and child 3 injured his hand, as in, OUCH. All in the span of an hour. At least I had about 6 glasses of wine in front of me. Bottoms up. #blindtastingpractice
RESOLUTION TIME
I’m not much of a new year’s resolution person. Let’s be honest, with the amount of sleep I get with three kids, I forget the resolution I’ve made about 2 hours after I make it.
TIS' THE SEASON
I’m sitting here trying to study Central Italy, if you ask. One child is grabbing my notes from the printer, extremely enthusiastically.
COMMON CORE WINE
Lately, my kids have been bringing home math homework that is, in ‘plain english’, a mother’s nightmare.
THANKFUL FOR WINE
It’s that time of year again. You know, where the kids’ table gets further and further away from the ADULT table?
