Over the last few weeks, I’ve been in and out for the holidays. This time of year is super busy and I’m tired, but that hasn’t stopped my lust for time-saving technology or wine. Thankfully, I found the WineStein iPhone application and it’s been a boon. I don’t know about you, but when I’m at [...]

Leslie Sbracco, the Thirsty Girl, is up to social media fun again! I’m attending my first virtual wine tasting. No stuffy webinars, no uncomfortable high heels in a packed room. Nope, I’m doing all of this in the comfort of my yoga pants and relaxing in my living room. When Leslie asked me to participate in this [...]

I am honored to call Lindsay Maddox a/k/a Designer Wife my peer and good friend. However, when you are such good friends, things happen. They get in your head! OMG! Lindsay and I are doing some of the same things, without even talking about them. We had planned on not eating out during the month of [...]

What happens when you go to a coffee shop and instead of innocently working on your laptop, are forming a sociological blog post on the patrons?

Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) said it best: Wine is bottled poetry. For Thirsty Girl Leslie Sbrocco, it’s true as well. She’s going to be at the Southern Women’s Show in Charlotte September 16th-19th. She has invited me and Designer Wife to join her for a wine tasting. I am thrilled, as I am always on [...]

As hard as it is for me to deal with the fact that it has been almost a week since I returned from the beach (It’s difficult for me. Seriously. I am completely miserable, San Diego!), this post is heartwarming. It’s not a touchy-feely story about pets or gardens, or even something more poignant like [...]

It’s tough being on vacation and going to a restaurant that has been consistently good for years, one that you look forward going to every summer, and it has changed. Drastically. Yesterday, I was terribly disappointed by one of my stand out favorite restaurants in Southport, NC. It’s always been fantastic and the crab sandwich [...]
