This is the first Holiday gift guide of 2019! The start of November brings parties. Thanksgiving, Black Friday shopping, weekends spent with family, Ugly Sweater parties, Cocktail parties, etc… you get the point! Nobody shows up to a party empty handed! Whether you have a work, school, family, friend obligation, I have rounded up some small gifts that would be great as a “Thank you for having me” statement. This is the best time of year and I can’t wait to get started!!
Read MoreI love this time of year! Fall is the best and it’s the time I start making my turkey chili again. It’s a sweet chili with not too many ingredients and a kid favorite. Also, picky (adult) eaters as well enjoy it. It’s been tested! Sometimes the best recipes are the simplest. Lets get started!
Read MoreHalloween is here and as many of you may know, I’m not here for it. Seriously, I don’t care for Halloween or decorating for it BUT, we have kids and we always have people over for Trick-or-Treat so the bar cart gets done up! We always have a wine selection and a cocktail-of-the-night. Recipe at the end.. Let’s get started!
Read MoreLabor Day is over, the kids are back in school, and there is a scent of fall in the air. The mornings will start back up into a routine and if you have a lot on your plate, easy breakfast options can be a lifesaver. My whole family likes oatmeal. Sometimes there isn’t enough time for steel cut oats. Also, with three girls to get ready in the morning, grab-and-go’s are where it’s at. With a little prep the night before, these recipes can help your mornings run a little smoother. Let’s get started!
Read MoreSailing the BVI’s. Brian and I have been going to the Caribbean our entire lives and we finally came to the conclusion that our best times on those trips were out in the ocean or when we rented a boat for the day. We decided to try a Moorings vacation and it was the best decision we ever made.
Read MoreHorse shows. They are hot, dirty, and exhausting. My kids LIVE for them. For those of you who don’t know my family, my girls have been riding Morgan horses since they were very young. My oldest started competing when she was 7. The other two, younger. We have bought and sold a few show horses. We recently went to The New England Morgan Horse Show and let me tell you..wine helps us mamas get through the week. Let’s get started!
Read MoreOkay ladies, the two biggest sales are back to back! The NSALE is Nordstrom’s biggest sale of the year, putting new inventory for fall on sale before it gets marked back up. It’s like Christmas in July! The second sale is Amazon Prime Day. For two days only (July 15,16) they have unbelievable savings.
Read MoreYou can’t go to Trader Joe’s for just one thing. You come out with a cartfull! I love Trader Joe’s for myself and my family. They’re products are sourced from Non-GMO ingredients and they offer organic at great prices. Having a family of five, everyone has they’re favorites..bringing all 3 kids with me makes for a bigger haul. Let’s get started!
