Easter 2019

April 23, 2019 by Julie 19 Comments

Our Easter this year was one of the more low key Easters we’ve had in a long time but in a very, very good way. Ryan and I intentionally planned to arrive home from our Hilton Head Island vacation at a reasonable time on Saturday so we could unpack and get organized for the week…

Our Easter weekend was a wonderful mix of excitement and low key fun. We spent time with friends but blocked off Easter Sunday for family time and it was just what I needed! The weather in Charlotte clearly got the memo that we were all craving sunny skies and we spent as much time as…

Easter Egg Hunt Play Date + A Surprise Birthday Celebration

March 27, 2017 by Julie 34 Comments

Hi guys! How are you doing today? I’m not going to lie, I’m checking in today feeling a little frazzled because I have a day of travel ahead (I’m heading to Sarasota for a blog trip followed by family time) and anytime I travel alone with Chase, I’m always partly excited and partly apprehensive, especially…

Easter Bouquet

Good morning and Happy Monday! I hope all is well in your neck of the woods! This weekend passed by in a flash.

Instagram post 2191873802065169562_40044681 Slow Cooker Holiday Mulled Wine: The simple, low-maintenance, crowd-pleasing holiday beverage you've been looking for to make for your next holiday party! 🍷✨ This is my go-to recipe because it's warm and comforting and just sweet and cinnamon-y enough to feel like a festive holiday drink. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Here are the steps:⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Throw everything into a slow cooker⁠⠀
Allow mulled wine to warm up on “low” for an hour⁠⠀
Reduce to “warm” and top with a sprinkle of thinly-sliced oranges and cranberries⁠⠀
Walk away and enjoy your party⁠⠀
⁠⠀
And the ingredient list is simple, too! Find the full recipe on the blog here: https://www.pbfingers.com/slow-cooker-holiday-mulled-wine/⁠⠀
⁠⠀
Oh and please do not feel the need to splurge on an expensive red wine for this recipe! I once had a sommelier friend of mine tell me that when it comes to making mulled wine, simply choose a red wine you like to drink. It doesn’t have to be anything fancy but it simply has to appeal to you without all of the added ingredients that morph it into a deliciously sweet holiday favorite. For this batch, I made the Slow Cooker Holiday Mulled Wine with a $6.99 bottle of Wellsley Farms’ Cabernet Sauvignon from @bjswholesale. Once you pour it into the slow cooker and fancy it up with thinly-sliced oranges 🍊 and pops of cranberry, no one will know you used a bottle of wine that cost less than $7 in the recipe anyway! Enjoy!!! #ad #mulledwine #holidaydrinks #holidayrecipes #slowcooker
