I know, I sound like a broken record. I’m kind of like my hubby– I find something I like and then harp on it. While in Napa, we ALWAYS stop at our fave Round Pond. Even better, over Labor Day weekend, they have their famous Round Pond Garden Party. If you have never been to…

wolverine bit the bullet.
You’re bound to run into some crap everywhere. Such was the case on our trip to Napa and Sonoma this past weekend. In case you missed it, check out my post yesterday on my favorite experiences while we were there. So today is the crap edition and first on the list: Tasting Bars and Wastes…
not all vineyards are created equal.
I’m confident the game of eenie meenie miney moe was created by a Napa Valley virgin. One look at the map, and it’s easy to see what I’m talking about–Napa and Sonoma are each abundantly full of vineyards and tasting rooms, all claiming to have the best juice in the area. So how do you…
sunshine and purple teeth.
Yes, I’ve been M.I.A. That’s because D and I ventured to wine country for a little R&R over the long weekend. We’ve been to the Valley 4 times in less than 2 years– thanks be to our friend’s wedding there– and we absolutely adore the area. (Check out my Moving Beyond Boxed Wine Post Here)…
an afternoon quickie.
Just a little afternoon quickie–I found this article while I was researching my Vegas post from Wednesday.

I guess there will need to be a 3rd sequel to the Hangover that will include Phil scaling the structure while being chased…
10 on tuesday– bora bora edition.
It’s the second edition of 10 on Tuesday, and hopefully you’ll like this one as much as you liked the first. Bora Bora. It’s my heaven. In fact, when describing it to people I often say, “I hope my heaven looks like that.” Yes, it’s a long way from home and yes, it’s expensive. But seriously,…
i’m having wine with dinner.
Yes that’s right—in celebration of Julia Child’s 99th birthday, D and I will be participating in National “Drink Wine With Dinner” day. As if that is so difficult. Under normal circumstances you wouldn’t have to try very hard to get me to participate in this event and you especially won’t today! Seeing as our return…
the windy city– chelsea edition.
I’m so proud to say I was able to convince Chelsea to do a guest post for Sunscreen Required. Not only do I adore her as a friend, travel buddy, lover-of-the-finer-things-in-life, fellow crafter and travel connisour, we also share a common history in the fact that we’ve known each other since first grade and grew…
