This time of year, I sometimes feel like we get so focused on the big events that we forget to enjoy every day. With an ever-growing to-do list, it is sometimes hard to remember to slow down.

Although I’m not perfect, as I’ve gotten older I have gotten better at taking time out to enjoy the day-to-day.

 

The truth is, it doesn’t take much to elevate an evening from ordinary to special.

With three kids, getting out for adult time can be a challenge. A certain Princess doesn’t like it when Mom and Dad leave her with a stranger. Although I was babysitting by the time I was Alex’s age (he’ll be 12 this month), I am not ready to leave her with the boys. Though they are amazing with her, the world is a different place than it was in the 80’s and I’m just not there yet.

If you’ve never made fondue with sparkling wine before, you are in for a treat.

As corny as it may sound, I’m a bit of a fondue expert.

I’ve been making it for family and friends for more than 25 years. I’ve got to say, this Goat Cheese & Gruyere Fondue is one of my favorites.

    After working all day and dealing with the kids, finding time for the adults can be hard. My husband loving cooking a fancy dinner and chilling in the hot tub after a long day! WE reconnect but it is non stressful for us or the kids
