Flamingos are majorly on trend right now. I've had to stop myself—multiple times—from buying the ridiculously oversized hot-pink pool float that's been all over Instagram and magazine spreads (I'm sure you know exactly what I'm talking about). My 18-month-old daughter has ...read more

As I write this, I'm sitting outside on the balcony of a rental house in Nantucket with nine girlfriends. We're here for a bachelorette weekend. It's been lots of fun, sun, sand, gossip, and giggles... And rosé. So much rosé. It's no coincidence that this celebratory shindig ...read more

I like a mimosa for many reasons. It's refreshing. It's fizzy. It's sweet and celebratory. And it's a great way to get your Vitamin C (at least that's what I tell myself). It's also the only adult beverage (besides a Bloody Mary) that's totally acceptable to drink first thing in ...read more

Turn it up a notch this Saturday (or Taco Tuesday!) with a Spicy Tequila Sunrise. We love eating Mexican inspired foods around here. It probably helps that, because we live in Arizona, we are close to the Mexican border. My neighbors make tamales year round and prickly pear ...read more

I'm addicted to sparkling water... and flavored sparkling water... and, you guessed it, cocktails made with sparkling water. When I learned that VOSS was launching two new bubbly flavors: Tangerine Lemongrass and Lemon Cucumber, I couldn't wait to sip them straight from that ...read more

If I'm being totally honest, I have to admit that I hacked this idea for an Easter-candy cocktail from my colleague. She created a beautiful conversation-heart martini around Valentine's Day, and it planted a seed of an idea—a bean of an idea, if you will, in my brain. Related: ...read more

Peeps... You either love 'em or hate 'em. (Seriously, I've never met anyone who is ambivalent about the colorful marshmallow treats.) if you like the look, but want to make it into something more adult, try this Easter-themed Peep cocktail. Related: Craft Corner Easter Peep DIY ...read more

It's safe to say that I love drinking wine. While I have my favorite go-tos, I also like to branch out and find new favorites. I don't have the time to study and curate wines for myself though, and that's why I like wine subscription services. Wine Awesomeness is more than a ...read more

We hope you had an incredible Thanksgiving! Now that the big autumn holiday has come to and end, it's time to get thinking about all the upcoming December festivities. Usually December means a bunch of holiday soirees: dinners, cocktail parties, brunches, and other fancy ...read more

Are you looking for Halloween candy and wine pairings?! Look no further! As a parent, you're probably on trick-or-treating duty later—either traipsing around the neighborhood with your kids or handing out candy to all the little ghouls and goblins that come to your door. You're ...read more
