Winc | Holiday Wine Roundup
13 December 2018
It's that time of the year, the time to keep your wine racks and shelves stocked for the upcoming holiday parties and gatherings. I've been using Winc wine delivery for two years now. Not only is it convenient but it has expanded my 'wine' horizons. Winc believes that the experience of getting a great bottle of wine should be as simple as enjoying one. Their California based team creates and curates over a hundred wines, and makes the experience of exploring wine simple and easy. You answer six questions to create a taste profile and then they match you with specific wines they think you would enjoy. The wine is packaged and shipped to your door in two days time.
My Favorites for the Season:
1.| Debts and Lessons - This is a medium bodied, slightly sweet white with tasting notes of candied lemon, crushed rock, green apple, honeysuckle. Perfect to pair with sushi.
2.| Finke's Widow Sparkling Wine - My favorite sparkling wine, its light and slighty dry. Perfect for sipping and recipes.
3.| Love Me Not Rose- Another favorite! Its a classic millennial wine-- medium bodied, slightly sweet with rosé blossoms with exuberant notes of tropical fruits and bubblegum.
4.| Eplevin Cider- It's light dry and tart. Makes the perfect cider for cocktail recipes.

Holiday Gift Guide
10 December 2018
In years past I would have had my Christmas list made and checked twice. Well, not this year. I've felt behind from the very beginning of the season. I like to take my time and pick out the perfect gifts for my loved ones, something that will bring them great joy. I'm [finally] half way done with my shopping and below I've listed a round up of some of my favorite finds this year. It's been a 'Prime Find' Christmas in our house-- two day shipping, who can't get down with two day shipping! Am I right moms?
1.| Puffin in Bloom Collection - Ava is very much into reading right now. She loves books. When I found this collection of classic books I knew that I had to grab a set for her-- not only are they beautiful but the stories are ones I hope she grows to love. The collection includes Little Women, Annie of Green Gables, Little Princess and Heidi.
2.| Fujifilm Instax Mini 9 Instant Camera - Another find for Ava, who's six this year and becoming so much fun to shop for, like this Mini Instax camera. I remember when the Polaroid I Zone instant camera came out -- I got one for my birthday and put that thing to good use. I still have a couple of those instant pictures in my hope chest. I know like she'll have a blast with this.
3.| KidKraft Farm to Table Play Kitchen Set - I mean, the name alone! A Farm to Table kitchen set, with butcher block counters and a farmhouse sink much like my own. It was a no brainier-- Naomi is getting this but I'm sure they will all put in hours of use. I'm not looking forward to putting the thing together (hello wine) but I can't wait to see them play with it.
4.| Cozy Minimalist Home: More Style, Less Stuff - This is a great gift for someone who loves a good coffee table book. One that is pretty annnd practical. I gobbled one of these up for myself and I don't regret it. In the season of life that I'm in this book is a must.
5.| YETI Rambler Wine Tumbler, 2 Pack -- This one is perfect for the wine lover on your gift list. Give as a combo pack or break it up and create two gifts in one. Don't forget, add wine!
6.| Out of Print Unisex Library Card Socks - If your looking for a practical gift for the teacher on your list then look no further than these funny socks. I think they are super unique, very practical and will be fun for Ava and Charlotte to give to their teachers.
7.| Aromatherapy Essential Oil Diffuser - If you have someone in your life that uses essential oils or is looking to start then I highly recommend my all-time favorite diffuser. It's 500ml so it covers a large amount of space and mine have lasted me so much longer than other more expensive ones on the market.
8.| Ember Temperature Control Ceramic Mug - Yes, you read that correctly! A temperature controlled mug that you control using your phone. I mean, yes, a bit of a splurge but if you know someone who is constantly heating and reheating their mug (I'm looking at your moms...) then this is a gift for that person!
I wish for the rest of your holiday season to be filled with peace, grace and enough love to wrap around your family and friends.
