My friend Serret and I wanted to invite friends over to celebrate National Rosé Day. (It’s held on the second Saturday in June). Serret is super creative and has an eye for detail. We love working together to create fun and fantastic over-the-top parties. We decided to collaborate on a pink-themed Rosé celebration for a group of our mutual lady ...

I wanted to share my Mother’s Day with friends who live far away from their mothers, or whose mothers passed away already (mine died when I was seventeen), mothers whose children live across the country and couldn’t celebrate with them, or aunties like me who don’t have children of their own but have spent time spoiling and nurturing nieces and ...

  If you are like me, you find it increasingly tough to juggle the demands of work, family and life and probably can’t name the last time you enjoyed a weekend away with your friends. I recently decided it was time to just go for it, so I called Zoe and Tonja and we organized a girls trip to go ...

On Sunday, my boyfriend and I ran several errands in Woodinville. We stopped by Home Depot for gardening supplies, filled my car up with gas, picked up pet food and treats for my dogs at PetSmart, and shopped for taco making supplies at Haggen. Back at home, after unloading the car, feeding the dogs, cleaning the kitchen and taking a ...

On Saturday night, it was raining terribly, plus dark out and sort of miserable. That didn’t stop us from going out to a wine tasting with a friend!

Tonight is likely my last party in my Woodinville backyard for this year. It’s getting colder, and beginning to rain, so I must move my parties indoors for the foreseeable future. I’m dreading putting away my beloved outdoor furniture! Several friends are coming over later to eat pizza and watch a movie (“The Breakfast Club,” since we’re feeling nostalgic for the ...

  On a recent Sunday, Carrie, Zoe and I made plans for a wine tasting girls day.  I find that being a mom of two, working full time, and balancing all of my personal responsibilities and commitments can be a daunting task, and I was very excited for some relaxation!  We had a limited window of time and sought out ...
