Discounted Wine? Yes, Please!

Discounted Wine? Yes, Please!

Most of you who know me well…know I love this:     Earlier this year I was at a lunch with a business partner and she clued me in on the best thing ever for a person like me.  A website that sells wine at a discounted price.  If you are a wine-lover and don’t

Seriously, Henry?

Seriously, Henry?

This sweet little guy from a few weeks ago?      Um, he now thinks he’s Spiderman.   For real.   So, I gave in and let him have a Spiderman birthday celebration over the weekend.   At 2 it’s cute.   If he were 8?  I might be annoyed.   (Yes, he’s holding one

Bucket list…check! I didn’t truly understand the time, effort, and energy this would require when I started the program four weeks ago, but let’s just say that five webinars, five papers, and the last two days of an intense practicum are now a wine bottle blur. – Posted using BlogPress from my iPad

Indianapolis Trip

Our vacation this summer has been unusual for us…we didn’t plan a big one.  Andy and I took the girls to Florida to visit my dad in late March for a long weekend and then we were going to do a big trip this fall, but due to numerous circumstances, we’ve postponed it until next

For a Good Laugh

Here are two links I came across this week that made me laugh until I cried. The One With The Fart:http://hahasforhoohas.com/the-fart-that-almost-altered-my-destiny/ The One Where A Girl Shats On Frat Boys (only funny because she’s ok in the end):http://mylifeandkids.com/2012/08/finding-the-funny-29-and-im-in-the-powder-room/ And a quick picture of my crazy crew out for ice cream the other night… – Posted

A Little of This and a Little of That

Things are busy around here…very busy. I’m at that point where I have lots of little snippets of things to blog about, but little time to do it and plan it out over a week. So here are a few lumped together. A random hodge-podge of updates. Charlotte has been having a lot more “green”

Back to School Teacher Gifts?

This really is a post about Teacher Gifts…just keep reading! Thus it begins…the end of my life.  Just kidding!  However, Stella does graduate from Preschool on Friday night.  Unlike most preschools that held this event in the spring, ours is right at the end of summer.  Since it is a daycare setting, the preschool curriculum does

Run, Do Not Walk

OMG! Seriously, this may become my new favorite indulgence. If you like caramel at all…this is for you! The swirls of sea salt caramel are plentiful. Although the chocolate covered caramel truffles are tiny, they still burst in your mouth. Yummy! The only bummer is that I didn’t see it in pint-sized. Therefore, I quickly

The Sarasota – An Easy Summer Drink

I told you I was having a Fifty Shades party this past weekend.  Well, it was a blast if I do say so myself.  And I have a TON of pictures to prove it.  But that’s the problem…I’ve got to get the pictures ready to post.  Pictures of prizes, decorations, food and more.  (Don’t worry attendees…there
