This month from the California Wine Club, I received a Pinot Noir and a Riesling. Both are from the Fess Parker Winery & Vineyard. I have to admit, this was not my favorite shipment. Not that it stopped me from drinking it, mind you, but neither is one I would order again. That doesn’t mean [...]
This month the California Wine Club delivered two bottles of hearty red wines to my doorstep. I got to try the Le Vigne Winery 2007 Kiara Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon and the Le Vigne Winery 2007 Kiara Private Reserve Zinfandel. Both are award-winning wines, and I can see why. They both changed my standard opinion on [...]
I travel. A lot. I didn’t used to travel much, but with blogging turning into a fulltime job, I find myself jetting around at least every other month. The opportunities to travel are probably my most favorite part of the whole gig. I love staying in nice hotels, eating out, seeing new cities, and just [...]
I’m on a roll with the videos! (True confessions… I changed my top and recorded three videos in a row so I’d be all set for a while.) When Peggy Tew reached out to me about sending me some products Thirty-One to review, I flipped over to her website and I was like a kid [...]
My good friend Janelle is making stamped jewelry that captures the Christian messages of grace, faith, and love. She offered to send me a piece, and I chose “By Grace Alone” for my necklace. I love wearing jewelry thats message is as beautiful as the jewelry itself. Her company is called Grace Tags, and she has [...]
This is my 3rd and final wine review for the California Wine Club, and it is with much sadness and regret that I bid this campaign adieu. I mean, hello, free wine every month!??? That’s my kinda blog campaign! Of course, it doesn’t have to end. Well, the free part does. I’m pretty sure I can’t [...]
Last year I wrote a series of posts called Raising Responsible Kids, and part of that series included tips on helping kids learn money management from a very young age. We instituted a simple allowance system for our kids ages 5, 8 and 11; and while we are still using it over a year later, [...]
This is my second of three reviews of wines from the California Wine Club. I received two bottles again this month — a Pinot Noir and a Gewürztraminer, both from Castoro Cellars. The pinot noir was good. I’m a huge fan of pinot noir, so it went down easy. I put off the drinking of [...]
It is no secret, I enjoy wine. I’m not exactly a connoisseur, but over the years I’ve learned a thing or two, and I have definite opinions about what I like and don’t like. I particularly enjoy having wine with food. The right wine can enhance a meal and helps you slow down and enjoy [...]
It’s that time of year again, and there is nothing I love better than brand new, pristine school supplies! We made a little outing to our local Tar-Jay yesterday to stock up on all the back-to-school essentials and came home with bags of pencils and markers and glue sticks and… my personal favorite… notebooks. If [...]
