Wander + Ivy
What a fabulous Thursday evening I had this past week celebrating Wander + Ivy Wine with none other than the beautiful founder and CEO Dana Spaulding and an intimate group of influencers. We sipped, we shared, we laughed and we sipped some more on the fabulous Wander + Ivy wine. About Wander + Ivy Wine are single serving (6.3 ounces) organic wine ready to serve at all times. The wine is sourced from family vineyards around the world and presented to you in a cylindrical glass bottle. Not only is the wine amazing and super delicious but the bottles are little pieces of art that are perfect for any event…

Napa Bachelorette Party
You have probably heard me say this over 100 times now, but what a bachelorette party for the books. It was by far the best girls trip I have ever had and it makes me crave more. There is nothing like a good girls trip to soothe the soul. #NapaJustGotHotter was a 4 day 3 night trip. It started out with a delicious breakfast and mimosas at Elways in DIA. 8 AM flights have nothing on me. Six of my babes and I headed from all areas of the country to SFO, where we rented a huge 15 passenger van for us and all of our bags. Let’s face it…

Napa Bachelorette: All the Planning Details
I can’t believe Napa came and went already. Time sure does fly. In fact this last year and a half engagement has gone in the blink of an eye. I can’t believe our wedding is less than 2 weeks away. This my friends is why my blog posts have been far and in between. My time lately has been consumed with the wedding. I am extremely excited to get back to posting more bliss post wedding and sharing my/our life with you. If you don’t know my bachelorette party/trip was in Napa, CA. This trip was all the BLISS so much so I don’t think bliss even begins to describe…

Napa: Bachelorette Trip Packing
I can’t believe the extended Napa bachelorette weekend has come and past already. I dreamt of this trip even before I was engaged and once I was engaged the trip came to actual fruition. It was fabulous to disconnect, sip wine and float on cloud nine. I have a few main loves in life besides my fiancé and pup, and one of them is fine wine. Sipping wine and having girl time/chat was all the bliss. How often in life do we get the chance to take a girls trip? Not enough is what I have to say. Despite this being titled my bachelorette trip, it’s more of the girls…

Pineapple Shrimp Kabobs w/ Garlic White Wine Sauce
We are a little over a week until the official start of summer. If you ask me, summer is definitely already here with the hot temperatures we have been having. In an effort to keep the house cooler and not make the air conditioning work quite as hard, we have been using the grill for most of our meals. These Pineapple Shrimp Kabobs with Garlic White Wine Sauce are the perfect sweet and spicy meal to satisfy those taste buds.

Lost Dog Lane
I had surgery this week. The need for surgery originated from an accident back in January, where I got hit by a car secondary to a faulty Kong collar. The accident caused significant trauma to my growth plate and a spiral fracture. As a result, every 6 weeks, since January, I have had to see a surgeon and get imaging done. The crazy orthopedic software the surgeon has, let him see if my leg was growing normally or not. Last week we found out the radial side of my growth plate shut down, and surgery was needed. I went into surgery Monday this week and did well. My Mom and…

Carmel-by-the-Sea
Having the opportunity to explore Carmel-by-the-Sea this past weekend for a friends wedding weekend was such a treat. The weekend started out early, on a Friday. Upon arriving to Carmel we sat up on a patio overlooking the sea and taking in some gorgeous views and flowers, all with a glass of rosé of course. The Beach My fiancé and I next checked out the beach. It was such a magical place. I took off my rose gold Sam Eldeman booties, rolled up my pants, and ran free; free as the wind right into the water. I didn’t just run into the water once, but over and over again. There is…

Rioja 2012
Red with envy this week as Mom & Dad got to go to Carmel-by-the-Sea and Monterey for a wedding this past weekend. I keep hearing Mom say to Dad how gorgeous it was and how amazing the beach was. Why didn’t they take me? I would have happily dominated that beach with my charcoal grey sexy bod? Apparently I have to have 2 legs to fly and I have four. Talk about discrimination. Drowning out Mom’s ranting and raving on their amazing weekend with some red wine this week. Who’s with me? Wine: Ramierez de la Piscina Rioja 2012 Origin: Rioja, Spain Price Point: $20 Taste: Warm tannins with notes…

Beringer Vineyards-Founders’ Estate Pinot Grigio
Puppy life has been a bit rough lately. These ear infections are killing me, why don’t they just go away? I have been taking way to many medications for my liking. Mom and Dad are always trying to squeeze them in some sort of food, however I out smart them 9 times out of 10. To help wash down those pills when they do outsmart me I have taken to this delicious pinot grigio. I wouldn’t say it’s one of those rare occasion wines, but more an everyday wine, with the price point to match. Wine: Beringer Vineyards-Founders’ Estate Pinot Grigio Origin: California Price Point: $10 Where to Buy: Your…

Cara Mia – Pinot Grigio “In a Box”
Taking a little different review this week for “Wine Wednesday” today I am giving you my review on a boxed wine. Yes, I said it, I drink boxed wine, and it actually isn’t too bad. Mom says boxed wine has come a long way since she used to drink it and slap the bag in college whatever that means. Mom said there used to be weekend activities surround around awful boxed wine, such as the Tour de Franzia. This box of wine isn’t awful. In fact it has become a staple in the fridge and one I can help carry up the stairs for Mom after she is done grocery…
