Happy Hour

Happy First Week Back to School.  Or at least in my house. It's been quite the week. All the Things. All the Emotions. My baby girl started Kindergarten. My big boy started his last year of Middle School and my little boy started his last year of Elementary School.  We're doin' it. Getting back in the routine really is good for all. We all do miss our Summer nights in the pool with a glass of wine in hand. However, it was all smiles this week. A lot of Firsts and a lot of lasts. No one ever said being a mom was for the weak. If your a mom. Your strong. Because you have to be. For the first time in probably 13 years I am taking a moment to breathe. Putting myself on the priority list. Turning the music up. Going to the gym. Taking a Shower. Celebrating this little family of mine.  This party of five that gives me more joy than I could ever write down. My cup runneth over. And I am so very grateful. I was in it to win it this Summer ....with my 3 very special kiddos. We left it all on the table and had the best time. But now, it's game on. It's time for these kids to fly. Be their best. Learn, grow, and dream big. I smell greatness and I will be here cheering these kids on everyday. Because thats what I do. Thats what we all do as moms. It's our job. No paycheck for this job.  But its the most rewarding one...and I wouldn't have it any other way. I was meant for this one. With all that being said, my mornings are starting early! Couldn't be happier that it's Friday. I am ready for a fun family drive way happy hour. Time to get a good  bottle of wine to celebrate all the things. I got this little treasure over the Summer, and its  quite delicious. Meet Octopoda Cabernet Franc from the the North Coast. This red is a mouthful. It's luscious and fruity. It's a great bottle to sip on at the end of the day at the beach or with a delicious BBQ. It's complex with  its Cherry and Blueberry Flavors with a touch of leather and violet. You will love the way this wine feels on your palette. The package on Octopoda is fantastic. Presentation on this package is so good. Looks good and tastes good. You can find deals on this wine! It's $20 and under. It's a great value. It's a must try for your Happy Hours! Happy Friday Ya'll!  We did it! Have a great weekend. Cheers!!
