Let them eat (cup)cakes!

If eating cupcakes and drinking champagne is wrong, then I don't want to be right.

Like my good friends at Rue la la reminded me, life is too short not to eat cake. Happy Wednesday!

What a lucky girl!

So we're back from our trip to Napa, and I have to say that I am one lucky girl. There were times when I had to pinch myself because I couldn't believe this was my real life. It felt like a dream. Being waited on hand and foot was so luxurious it felt wrong! I mean, having fresh peaches pureed for you in the morning (for bellinis, of course!) has got to be some kind of sin, right?! After 9 days of private tours/tastings and being treated like royalty (because my husband is in the food and beverage biz), getting back to reality is almost heart-breaking.

We loved our trip so much, and we can't wait to go back. Special thanks to Cherokee Country Club, Trinchero Family Estates, E.J. Gallo, LVMH, and Constellation for being so hospitable.
