Happy Friday! And yay for a three day weekend. This is the first week I’ve worked a full week in a while and it’s been rough . The best thing about living with your sister is you can eat all of her food. One of my most favorite instances of this is taco night! We [...]

Hi again! And soooo – the wine! After speaking to a few people in the know, Jackie and I opted to stick with Sonoma for this trip over Napa. We heard Sonoma (because it doesn’t quite have the reputation Napa has) is less crowded and more relaxed. So Sonoma it was! There are a couple [...]

Hi Bloggies! Hope you’re having a good weekend . I took wayyy too many pictures while I was away, so I’ll be splitting them up into a few different posts over the next few days. And of course topic #1 will be the FOOD! With the exception of one slightly stale piece of crumb cake [...]
