Recipes for saying goodbye to summer. Fun and festive things to celebrate the end of summer and the beginning of fall.  The end of summer is quickly approaching. As much as I’d like to stop it from happening, we are staring right at September. This summer has been so great and I’m sad to say […]

Warm cranberry calvados cocktail or Cranberry Cuddle is a perfect holiday cocktail for entertaining. Keep warm in an airport or slow cooker and let guest serve themselves.  It’s no secret I’ve been into warm drinks lately. It all started with the apple cider cocktails. I sampled plenty of mulled wine from Halloween until after Thanksgiving. […]

I borderline stalked my friend for her German Mulled White Wine recipe that she got while living in Germany. It was worth it.  I’m becoming one of those annoying people. I fixate on recipes until I have them in my greedy little hands, and will harass you until I get it. An example, this white […]

I know that is a picture of beer, but I’m here to tell you about the MV Wine Fest that I went to a few weekends ago in Martha’s Vineyard. Let’s just say that the Wine Fest didn’t discriminate, I sampled some incredible wines, along with summer beers, and handcrafted cocktails. Yup, it was a good […]

I just got back from an amazing weekend (and a few extra bonus days, thanks snow!) in San Diego. I went to the GoPro Workshop hosted by Blue Lily Photography. Wendy and Tyler have been taking our family pictures for the last three years (and will be again this fall). They are so fun, so […]
