Taking life one cup at a time…
So, my older brother died. That seems like a really tactless way to put it. I could say “he passed” or “he’s no longer with us,” but that seems euphemistic and to avoid looking at what happened in the face. I have tried several times to write this post, and I’ve struggled with it – …
Pour a glass of wine and kick back. Here are some of the goings-on around the Internet’s blogosphere you may have missed this past week that you should catch up on. News from the Wine World 1 Wine Dude put together The Most Interesting Wines of 2015. I’m intrigued by some of the wines on this …
Okay, so I’m like…a few days late, but still! Happy 2016! I’m still getting used to toddler tending while also snuggling a 3 week old.

There are only 7 1/2 weeks until my due date. That means I have a lot to do. I’m hoping to share some information about Kansas wineries that I’ve learned while researching. Yes, there are wineries in Kansas! I’m looking forward to learning more about them when I can enjoy wine again. In the meantime, …
I just spent the last little while crying. Perhaps that’s too personal to admit; perhaps it’s pregnancy hormones; perhaps it’s just extreme frustration at the gap between where things are and where I really really want things to be.
