You know how it is.

You’ve been up since 6 am feeding, changing and chasing the babe. When he naps you have to decide between a nap yourself, catching up on emails, or reinventing yourself and your wardrobe for that dream job you plan on getting one day, or reorganizing the cupboards. Then dinner and, oh you don’t have the critical ingredient because it got spilled all over the floor this morning so off to the store, grab a coffee and realize you forgot your wallet so back home you go.  You decide that a casserole with whatever you have will do just fine rather than go back to the store and then before you know it, you’ve done it all and it’s 8.30 in the p.m. and whew! Can you say freakin’ frazzled?

Come to Mamma

The Cab is calling your name. And I’m not talking about the taxi kind. ‘Come to Mamma!’ you say as you pour yourself a glass. After all, being a mom requires wine sometimes, right? Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone.

Lately, I’ve been enjoying Jackson Triggs Cabernet Sauvignon, vintage 2008.  It’s very drinkable and suitable for many dishes. I’m no sommelier but I know a smooth non-fussy wine when I taste one. For under 16 dollars, it’s a nice a.k.a. cheap companion after a busy day.

A Cheap Date

Sounds like the path to addiction? Nah…at best I can handle one, maybe two glasses without the headache that is inevitable in the morning. I’m so pooped after dinner, it’s all I can manage. Makes me a cheap date? My partner Eric doesn’t seem to mind.

Olympic Village Peeps

The staff at Legacy Liquor Store in our lovely Olympic Village were very helpful and knowledgeable  when it came to making my final selection.  If you have questions about anything liquor related then they’re your peeps.

Thanks for reading.
