A Fruity Rosé Cocktail

June 9, 2018

So I hear it’s national rosé day tomorrow and I just have to ask.. does anyone care? Ok that might sound a bit harsh, specially when this entire post is related to rosé, but I do honestly wonder.

Whether you celebrate by ordering a glass of rosé instead of your…

Simple Charcuterie & Cheese Board

Anxiety feels all over right? Lately I’ve…

Riding around Portland

December 22, 2016

We visited Portland, Oregon for my husband’s birthday this year in April and it was the perfect way to celebrate. We are fans of the show Portlandia with Carrie Brownstein and Fred Armisen. We find references everywhere we go and feel like several moments in our daily lives could easily pass for an episode of the show. So I say that to say that Portland was a place on our list of cities to visit ASAP. HOTEL  We stayed at Hotel…
