Sparkling Fall Apple Cider Sangria
Brad and I are fans of sangria. It is a great beverage to have in the fridge throughout the summer to enjoy the fruits of summer blending nicely with delicious wine. For the fall, I decided to use some apples and pears to create a fall themed sangria. We had some friends coming over to […]
5 Reasons Cats Own Us – And Why We’re OK With It
Pixel and Pico have been part of our lives for many years. When we headed to the shelter to bring them home, the volunteers mentioned that the cats will pick you, rather than you picking the cat, and it is definitely true.

A Delicious Start To The Morning
Mornings are rough, especially as the days get shorter and the sun is still below the horizon when the alarm goes off. I tend to hit snooze (sometimes more than I should) as I squeeze out the last few minutes of sleep from the night. This gradual emerging from bed creates a domino effect as […]
