6 Fun Activities for When Your Grand Rapids Weekend is Rained Out

6 Fun Activities for When Your Grand Rapids Weekend is Rained Out

I’ll fill you in on a secret: my family is so un

I’ll fill you in on a secret: my family is so underwhelmed by turkey that we had Cornish Hens for Thanksgiving for the past 5 years! (This chickadee is not one of them.) This week marks my return to my pre-pregnancy weight. I had gained 10 additional pounds in the course of nine months of hormone therapy before getting pregnant, but at least it’s progress! Clean eating, breast feeding, and walking/exercise 1-3 days a week is my #notsosecret secret. We’ll see how I do with the holidays because I loooove sweets and wine with friends. My favorite side is dumplings with sauerkraut, something we have because my family is Czech. Do you have any extra non-traditional sides your family serves? #thanksgiving #thankful #postpartumweightloss #postpartumnutrition #sidesonly #turkeyisdry #darkmeat #chicagoblogger #wineblogger #chicagobloggers #midwestbloggers #winebloggers

Moms…when will I be able to wear my hair down again? And aIso, is #throwbackthursday still a thing? Because infants, sticky fingers and long hair do not mix! Necklaces and hair worn down seem to be distant memories for this lady. #bombmom #tbt #chicagoblogger #dupagecounty #sommelier #dupageblogger #travelblogger #chicagoland #lifestyle #ootd #oldschool #longhairdontcare #momlife #style #comfort #midwestblogger #midwestbloggers #illinois #chicago #alwayswearingflats #flats #dressforcomfort #chic

Help Wanted from my #cabernetsauvignon lovers and

Help Wanted from my #cabernetsauvignon lovers and my wine people! My dear friend who built Me a superior heated cat house, see the second slide, just had a big birthday and I’d like to Get him a bottle of wine to celebrate/thank him. His wife tells me he likes Beringer Cabernet, and I don’t think she means the reserve label. what is a good bottle to get him that he would like in the $50-$100 range? It’s been over two years since I poured myself a glass of Cabernet Sauvignon, because I am not a huge fan of it outside of blends, and the whole pregnancy thing. Please leave your Suggestion in the comments; I’ve had a few people from my stories suggest they’d like to know recommendations as well! #wineblogger #redwine #winetime #tastinggroup #winewriter #winefolly #redblends #vigneron #somm #champagne #whitewine #redwinelovers #🍷

This spring, I shelled out a good chunk of change

This spring, I shelled out a good chunk of change to hire an #interiordesigner. Guys…things did not go well. Only 1/3rd of the project was completed correctly the first time around, and it got a little uncomfortable for me to have to confront the designer about not satisfying the requests made at the start of the project. Tbh, it sucked. If you have any questions about how to avoid issues with hiring someone for #homedecor #homerenovation #interiors #interiordesign and the like, take a peek at my post.

Nothing like capping off a 60°F day of raking lea

Nothing like capping off a 60°F day of raking leaves and yard work with a gorgeous @delillecellars Chaleur Blanc. About 3/4th Sauvignon Blanc and 1/4 Semillion, this Washington State wine has all the complexity of its Bordeaux predecessors and no import tax. You know I love to support American businesses! #chaleurblanc #delille #delillecellars #bordeauxstyleblend #sauvignonblanc #daylightsaving #fallback #yardwork #wineblogger #chicagoblogger #gardening #housework #buyamerican #wevegotacountrytosave #woodinvillewinecountry
