May Favorites
It’s June!? I’m not sure how that happened but here is a very random collection of our favorite things from the month of May. Snack Cup with Lid – I bought these for dirt cups and veggie cups at Jack’s 2nd birthday and I love that they come with a lid. The perfect thing for snacks and treats all summer long. EltaMD Face Moisturizer Sun Screen / Tinted – Megan and I both just reordered our favorite daily moisturizer and sunscreen. I like having the regular and tinted on hand. Clear plastic cups with straw slot lid – not the most environmentally friendly, but these are so nice to have…

A “Rosé Before the Big Day” Bridal Shower
We had such a fun weekend celebrating our brother Michael’s bride-to-be, Laura. While many of you know that Mallory and I live across the street from each other, you may be surprised to learn that Laura also only lives a few short walkable blocks away. She is the younger sister of one of my brother-in-law Chris’ best friends and attended the same elementary school that my children do now. We are talking less than one degree of separation here. As a result of her proximity and simply because we love her company, Mallory, Laura and I have spent many an afternoon and evening sipping glasses (notice the plural use of…

Patriotic Cocktails
Happy Friday of Memorial Day Weekend! We LOVE a themed cocktail here at Lets Wine About It Sister. So, to kick off the holiday weekend, Mallory and I taste tested two different red, white and blue cocktails. – the Americano and Strawberry Tequila Soda. We highly recommend you try one of our patriotic cocktails at your Memorial Day BBQ this weekend. Aptly named the Americano, it is believed this cocktail was first served in a bar in Milan, Italy during the 1860s. The name stems from its popularity among American tourists especially during the Prohibition era, when Americans absconded to Europe in droves, thirsty for good drinks. Whatever its origin,…

Palm Springs Bachelorette
Reentry after a long weekend away is never easy. Reentry after spending four days in Palm Springs with 100-degree heat on a floatie in a pool with a drink in hand celebrating our future sister-in-law Laura (sans children) was HARD! But we are back, laundry catch-up has begun, a few necessary groceries have been purchased, school lunches have been made, a few emails have been responded to, and the welcome home hugs from the kids were epic! The very talented duo of Kiersten (@kierstko) and Sydney (@syd_mcintyre), college sorority sisters of the bride, created an epic bachelorette weekend in Palm Springs. Our four-bedroom Airbnb house was decorated to the nines…

Three Themes in Palm Springs
We are heading to Palm Springs tomorrow for our soon to be sister-in-law Laura’s bachelorette party (!!!) and we are just a little excited. I have had a few kid-free breaks here and there but this is Megan’s first break since before the Pandemic so TBD if she gets on the plane to come home with me on Sunday. Laura’s Maid of Honor and party planning extraordinaire has planned three themed evenings/dinners and given we really love a theme around here we are HERE FOR IT. I had all of my outfits planned but then I decided to set up my game with RENT THE RUNWAY. If you sign up…
