Tiny Dancer

Tiny Dancer

Little H finished her dance classes this weekend.  It was a series of 10 and she thoroughly enjoyed them.  The last class was an open house and so we got to watch her.  She twirled and pointed her toes and ran in circles with the other girls and I got a glimpse of what she’s [...]

Enough with the Whine, Bring on the Wine! Week 9

crock pot cabbage and sausage

Reading Rhea’s post this week about her Menage a’ Trois California Red got me thinking not about kinky wine names, but about blends.  Being that Rhea is in California and often drinks Californian wines I mistakenly got the idea that blending wines was a fairly new, trendy practice.  But no.  Apparently all Bordeaux wines are [...]

Were we just lucky [...]

Seth Godin Just Made Me Giggle

If you don’t know who Seth Godin is, the best way I can describe him is this: Seth Godin is an Inspirational Strategist. Meaning that, he’s a blogger, author and entrepreneur who endeavors to share his knowledge with his readers in an inspirational way so you walk away feeling like you can take his advice [...]
