There are times that the only resuscitation that works for a mom who's held her breath and counted to 10 one too many times is the company of girlfriends. This mom rarely gets that kind breathing room. As much as I love my family, sometimes my patience is so tattered and frayed … [Read more...] about Totally Worth It – 5:00 Fridays TM

New Glarus Brewing Company – 5:00 Fridays TM
I love Wisconsin. Oh sure, it's the butt of jokes at times. We snort at John Candy's mention of Sheboygan and think everyone breaks out into spontaneous polka. I do admit, however, to giggling a tish at the hearty Midwestern accent. Wisconsin is replete with stereotypes, but it … [Read more...] about New Glarus Brewing Company – 5:00 Fridays TM
Pumpkin Margarita – 5:00 Fridays TM
Every year my family makes fun of my Halloween costume ideas. Bird and Deal pooh-pooh costumes that go together, which speaks to their independent natures. They'll have no part of being tethered together by costume or anything else. I think this is a … [Read more...] about Pumpkin Margarita – 5:00 Fridays TM

Siri also has atrocious spelling. And most annoying is Siri's constant need for … [Read more...] about Trophy Brewing’s Next Best in Show – 5:00 Fridays TM

I'm sharing some favorite posts from 5:00 Fridays past while my tendinitis heals. For today, I'm sharing what I keep stocked in my bar. The Dirt & Noise bar is going to kick ass in our new house. This is going to be the wet bar just off the screened in porch. The party can't … [Read more...] about In My Bar – 5:00 Fridays TM
Gin is Still In – 5:00 Fridays TM
I was thinking that gin season was over. I do love gin, but in a way I was hoping it was a thing of season's past. I love fall and that comes with it. Alas, Mother Nature is a menopausal dame in North Carolina so gin season is still here. Temps are in the mid-80s, and the blue … [Read more...] about Gin is Still In – 5:00 Fridays TM
