Can you believe Halloween has come and passed? That means one thing, the holidays are quickly approaching. And, we all know what that means, our willpower will be tested over and over again. We will be inundated with sweets, carbs, and cocktails galore. Of course, we want to hold ...read more

It's officially fall. Autumn means boots and sweaters, colorful leaves and crisp cool days. It's my favorite season. While we don't get much fall weather here in Arizona (I'm usually sipping some Prickly Pear Margaritas), it's still my favorite. I still like to pretend it's fall ...read more

I feel like I've been a bit of a one-trick pony with my cocktail concoctions as of late. I've been all about the mason jars, bubbles (can't get enough of my Prosecco), infused ice-cubes, colorful chevron straws, and freshly sliced or muddled fruit. Seriously though, what more ...read more

As a mom to two toddlers, I don't get a lot of rest and relaxation. These days, my idea of down time includes private potty breaks, five-minute showers, and the brief period between bed for the kids and lights out por moi. (I know, I know, I sound like an internet meme.) Still, ...read more

I love Trader Joe's. And despite the fact that I menu plan for exactly what I'll need each week, I still find myself there at least three times a week - if I'm lucky. Anyone relate?! While I have many favorites there, I do love their wine department which is always stocked with ...read more

New Year's Eve is gonna be lit. (Did I use that word right? Note to self: Stop trying to be cool in 2020.)  Seriously though, I'm pretty pumped about my plans for the last night of the decade. I'm staying in, putting on my fave PJs, and throwing a little pizza party for my fave ...read more

These days, it seems like motherhood and wine go hand in hand. We sometimes joke that adult-life and parenting can drive us to drink, but the reality is: the seemingly harmless sippy-cup-full-of-Cab mentality can cross a line.  Sure, after a long, hard 12 hours of battling babies ...read more
