New Purse

So a few months ago when I stayed at Dennelle's house, she gave one of her purses. This woman has a ton of purses so she wanted to give this one away. And of course I allowed her to give it to me.

I'm a great friend that way.

Newage

This is the best summer wine ever. It is the only wine I've heard of where the wine maker actually suggests you drink it over ice with a lime. If you aren't a wine drinker, I suggest you start with this one because it really tastes like a mixed drink.

Just fill your glass full of ice, poor the wine, squeeze a wedge of lime in it and go sit outside and relax!


And it also has a cool label that is two sided, here is the inside:



Isn't that cool?

Cooking Class With Marguerite Henderson

This woman is amazing! My mom-in-law has been taking me and my sister-in-laws to Marguerite's cooking class this year. These classes are so fun and seriously addicting.

Marguerite is the author of 3 cookbooks, she's a cooking instructor, a culinary consultant and this year she was voted "Best Cooking in the Garden" teacher for 2009 Best of Utah!

She also opened Cucina, an award winning deli in the avenues of Salt Lake City. I love Cucina! I go there for lunch at work all the time, it's delicious!

These classes are such fun to go to with the family and experience gourmet at it's finest!

Summer Sandals!

My favorite thing about summer is wearing sandals! These are my Naughty Monkeys that I got from DSW. I just love the color of these sandals and they go great with skirts!

Beans & Brews

My favorite coffee house is Beans & Brews, my favorite thing to order is their iced mochas. Delicious! Plus they have these new frappes that are to die for my favorite is the Copper Freeze which is espresso, chocolate, caramel & irish creme all blended with milk and ice.

YUM!

This is the downtown location that Dennelle and I love to walk to during lunch. Great exercise and great coffee!



Beats Starbucks hands down!

Babysitting The Logster!

I love having Logan stay over at our house! Look at this fricken cute guy, I don't care if he poops on my floor a million times, he is always welcome to stay with us!

He is such a sweetheart, I'm such a proud Aunt!

Wishbone Necklace

Cute Annie surprised me with a gift for my birthday. This little Make A Wish necklace. It's just so cute and delicate I wear it everyday! You can find these necklaces as Nordstroms.

Jill, Erin & Collin Visiting From Colorado!

Okay this picture is from last year but it's the only one I have on my computer so it'll have to do. Alex's aunt and cousins are visiting this week from Colorado and staying at Cris & Terry's house.

We were able to go out to dinner with them last night and just hang out catching up. We love it when they come visit, they are so much fun!

My New Floor Lamps!

I got a gift card to Bed Bath and Beyond for my birthday and ordered two of these beautiful lamps for my family room. They just arrived in the mail yesterday. Yay, finally I can see what I'm doing!

Farm Town

I'm officially a farmer. Thanks to Tiney I've become addicted, I have to check on my farm everyday when I get home from work, heaven forbid my harvest go to waist! I'm still an amateur but I'm learning as I go.

Apparently when in the Market Place looking for a job, people don't like it when you dominate the chat room. Soom farmer dude yelled at me, he said

"Hey Pooba, stop dominating the chat box, let everyone else have a turn too!"

Well, I didn't know that if I chatted that meant nobody else could! Sooooooooooorry!

Jerk.

I'm never hiring him.

Little Black Wine Journal

How can you remember all the wines you have tried and whether they were good or bad? Use your trusty little black wine journal. It fits in your purse so if you're out on the town and happen upon a fantastic glass of wine, you can scribble it down for purchase later!

Plus it's just too cute and so much fun to write in!


I couldn't find an exact picture of the journal pages that are used in this journal, but it is similar to the one above, however my journal has better information and is definitely prettier!



It's small, it's cute and it's convenient to take notes on any new wine finds. I like to keep record of the wines that I like and don't like, it helps me to sophisticatify my palate. (Yes, that's a word)


I'm on my way to wine connoisseurdom. (Yes, that's a word)
