This weekend marked the second meeting of Reading Between the Wines. Our book selection this time around was a lot different than our first pick, but I love variety and jumping from young adult to historical fiction is pretty much my normal reading routine. Plus, I’d been wanting to read The Paris Wife by Paula […]

Spring Pinterest Partying + Karaoke
I took a short break from blogging this past week to enjoy a visit to a city you may have read about once or twice on this blog…Chicago! Officially, I was in town for a work conference, which was very interesting with a lot of great speakers. Unofficially, I arrived a few days early in […]
Wining + Dining: Napa Girl’s Trip Part IV
Thanks to the wonder that is Facebook, I’ve now learned that February 18 is National Wine Drinking Day. If you ask me, whoever created this holiday was just looking for an extra excuse to say “cheers,” to which I say…genius. What better day to share the last details of our girl’s trip to Napa?

Mama Bender’s Beef Stroganoff
The Packers may have lost this weekend (sigh), but there were several “wins” to even things out. Bobby and I had a wonderful time with our neighbors on Friday night, who we invited over for a Humble Pie and game night. Our conversation won out over the game playing most of the time, but I […]
Pinterest Partying
In the words of S Club 7, there ain’t no party like a Pinterest party. As I’m sure many of you know, Pinterest is addicting. You can go through pictures for hours and pin hundreds of recipes and DIY projects that you’ll never make, dozens of clothing items that you’ll never buy, and a few […]
City Christmas-ing
What a (Windy City) weekend! I’m still catching up on sleep after an energy-packed three days in Chicago. The holiday season is one of my favorite times of year to be in the city, and it was fun to take a trip back to visit friends and see my old view decked out in Christmas […]
