Label Wine

Have you noticed lately that when you go wine shopping, there are the most creative adorable wine labels and names out there?

Who doesn’t love TOMS shoes – SO comfortable and with their one for one program you can feel good about helping out someone who otherwise may not have a pair of shoes to wear.

Chips and Dip

One of my absolute favorite snacks is potato chips and dip – just basic Lays and french onion dip. I could eat an entire bowl if placed in the vicinity of where I am sitting. That said, there’s a little gathering we were attending last weekend where I was asked to bring chips so IContinue reading “Chips and Dip”
