I am not entirely sure what the dog days of summer are, but I feel like we are in them. Hot days that just go forever. Every weekend is a blur of swimming and cooking out and frozen drinks. And my hair is huge. HUGE.
Everyday in my head, I am all IWANTOCUTIT- IWANTTOCUTIT- IWANTTOCUTIT.
Anyways, it’s the calm before the storm, and I am going to keep enjoying the family time and not cut my hair. Probably.
Last week I had the pleasure of taking some photos for my stunning friend, Heather Pierson…
I couldn’t take enough, she is just that adorable and I love her to pieces, click here to check out her favorites on her blog.
I also got the coolest email from a reader, Rebecca…
Hi Brittany!
So I’ve decided that I want to become a wine drinker; seems like such a glamorous lifestyle (plus I cant really stomach vodka anymore LoL!)
Do you have any suggestions? What are favorites?
Thanks!!
PS…Iyou! (in a non-creepy way)
See, Andy? I’m GLAMOROUS.
Not tipsy. GLAMOROUS.
Not nagging and needy. GLAMOROUS.
Not clumsy and confused. GLAMOROUS.
Rebecca, than you for giving me the proper adjective for which to describe my lifestyle, and to answer your question. I am a white wine drinker. Red wine and my acid reflux is a recipe for disaster, and by disaster, I mean me throwing up stomach acid all night as the blood of Christ destroys my esophagus.
My go to wine is Moscato, Barefoot and Sutter Home Moscato are good and affordable, but my hands down favorite is Yellow Tail Moscato, it has a wonderful kick, and even Andy will drink it.
Last week, I relived pushing out my three monsters and handing them over to a gorgeous, barely legal new nanny.
I realized that kids are way more fucking expensive than I previously thought.
And, I also offered up two internet tutorials, mostly full of gibberish and cursing,but none the less effective…

Random thought. Don’t you sometimes wish you could start a secret twitter account and say exactly what you want to say and not worry you are offending anyone because someone, somewhere is always offended? Me too, wink.
On to some cool stuff I found on the internet…
This is my new go-to baby shower gift.
30 Rock. The gas leak episode. One of the funniest moments ever.
Happy Shark Week, y’all!

awe thanks friend xoxo
The forest where people kill themselves jumped to my bucket list vacations the minute I read it. I anticipate standing next to the entrance shrieking and refusing to go in. Kind of like the Mr. Freeze ride at Six Flags that time in 8th grade.
You are a doll for the link love! Gracias!
I love Lazy Mondays…
Yes! I need an invite please! winni333(at)gmail(dot)com
I love that episode of 30 Rock! Tina Fey might be my comedy soulmate.
Hey there! I saw you enjoy Barefoot Muscato and thought you might love this Refreshing Grapefruit Sangria that starts with the same!
Enjoy!

a friend just introduced me to the barefoot moscato, on saturday. i LOVED it!!!!!!
I am not a fan of Barefoot wines (or Sutter Home) at all. For the price point, IMHO, there are far better wines out there. Vinturi wine aerators are a fantastic investment for people who like wine, they even make the lower wines taste better. The thing I like about them is that it makes the process fairly instant and I don’t need to dirty a decanter. Night Harvest wine ($6.00 a bottle) makes a really nice white zin perfect for a Summer Sangria (think peaches, nectarines, melons) and it’s passable as a table wine for those who prefer sweet wines. I really like Inniskillin Riesling Icewine (German) for a sweet wine although it is pricey. Nachtgold Eiswein (also German) is more affordable and pretty good too. I went out last night and ended up purchasing some local wine and while walking the rows of pretty bottles was happily surprised to see so many wines at affordable price points. It’s good to step out of the grocery store and into a shop that knows it’s products every now and then.
