In endless pursuit of “it all.”
Who am I:
First and foremost, I am a mother and a wife. I love my growing family. I’m a soccer mom. I’m a scrapbooker. I do yoga and love to dance. I enjoy traveling and love the mountains. I believe that a mom doesn’t have to resign herself to looking like a ‘mom’. I love dressing up and doing my make-up before I leave the house. I like wearing stilettos with my apron in the kitchen. I love cooking and entertaining others. I also have a career. I love what I do and I’m pretty darn good at it. Sometimes what I do gets in the way of what I want. You see, I drink for a living. I am a beverage director/sommelier, and trying to decide how to find a balance between my three jobs (mother, wife, & professional alcoholic) seems pretty impossible most days. I believe that there are other parents out there that feel some of the same things I do.
Why the blog:
Being a mom is a full time job, no doubt, but in this day and age, most of us have second full time jobs to help pay the bills. Every mom’s career, regardless of field presents a unique set of challenges. Sometimes finding the right balance between career and kids can seem like an impossible task. I’m starting this blog because I know I’m not alone.
What I want to blog:
I have no idea whatsoever. Anything and everything: wine reviews, parenting articles, restaurant news and reviews, recipes for food & cocktails, travel tips, and anything else that I just have to put down.
Hopefully through this blog I can connect with some people that believe we really can have it all, and that at the end of the day, nothing is better than a kiss good night and a nice glass of wine.
Cheers!
