C’EST LA VIE
What’s a girl to do? I stumble through the kitchen adding milk to my water instead of my coffee, trip over a pile of laundry (in the kitchen? why is that there?) and put Cheerios in the dog bowl.
UNCORKING THE NORTH FORK..
When your friend says, “Let’s go visit some wineries in Long Island”, you don’t ask questions – you just go. Especially ‘sans kids’… need I say more?
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
CHEAP AND EASY! (PART ONE)
When traveling, try not to end up at a ‘dry’ place on #nationaldrinkwineday! Please. Although, let’s be honest, what day isn’t #nationaldrinkwineday? Especially for this mother! Magic kingdom would earn the title ‘happiest place on earth’ if it actually had wine!
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.
WINE SHOPS, TOY SHOPS AND MORE...
Recently, while in the midst of chaos in the middle of Toys R us, I got to thinking why isn’t there a wine bar in the toy store.?
THE X FACTOR
I’m like a kid in a candy store. There were no tears on my end, only utter and pure glee. I get FOUR DAYS of child-free bliss. I’m attending an event where CHILDREN ARE NOT ALLOWED. Neither are pets, strays and other animals. Wine, wine and more wine.
PINOT CRAZED...
I am standing in line with a couple hundred people. We are not here for Taylor Swift or to audition for the Voice, we are here celebrating Pinot Noir at a salmon bake under a grove of old mossy oak trees and strings of hundreds of romantic white lanterns.
