I know I was a Twitter naysayer in the past, but this week I’ve changed my tune. First, I downloaded Chirpr onto my toolbar, so I can watch everyone’s tweets come in and jump in when I have something to say (no comment, Oenophilus). Working at home, alone, in front of a computer and in […]
Hey all, I just wanted to say thank you for supporting us in our efforts with ToastToMom. We’ve doubled our contribution in just two days and are heading quickly towards the $10,000 mark. Yea!
Yet there are only a few days left to reach our goal of doniating $25,000 to WomenHeart.
If you haven’t already and are hankering […]
It’s here again! It’s time for the Second Annual Toast To Mom. From now through May 11th, you can join Clos du Bois in celebrating moms everywhere while raising money (our goal is $25,000) for WomenHeart, a fantastic organization dedicated to helping women with heart disease.
Here are two ways you can help:
1) Go to www.toasttomom.com, […]

Yet another self-indulgent post here . . . for three reasons:
1) My daughter is turning turned one (ONE!) on Tuesday and we had her party this past weekend, with loved ones mingling and toasting and sipping pink champagne. I swear, when we all broke out into Happy Birthday, Noe clapped her hands and got this look […]

It’s up! A Generous Pour—the campaign I waxed on about—is here! I promised you that this would be an opportunity to support a cause that tugs at all of our hearts, and when I tell you that the organization we’re raising money for is Share Our Strength—one of the nation’s leading organizations working to end […]
I wrote this post about a month ago and I feel like it kind of got lost in the shuffle of my vacation departure. But it’s important, so I wanted to bring it back up to the top of the fold, so to speak.
One of the things I love about being a writer is having the opportunity […]
This one is for my Mom, a “Happy Mother’s Day” toast to thank her for all she’s done over the years, and all she continues to be to me. This pic was taken when my mom was out visiting in March for my baby shower.
Love you Mom!
We always hear about how we learn from our elders, from those who came before us. But what about how the older generations are influenced by the younger? Case in point, my parents. My parents didn’t know a whole lot about wine when I was growing up. Boone’s Farm was a staple in our house […]
I know that may sound obvious, especially as the mother of a six month old. But as we move towards mother’s day, my thoughts have been on those earlier in the line — my mom, my grandma — and those I’ve watched take on motherhood more recently. It never occurred to me that I am one of […]
In the spirit of the Toast to Mom event going on, I thought I’d stick with toasts and moms as themes for this week. I suppose I approached the whole toast thing a bit backwards, looking at toasts from a somewhat introspective, philosophical angle first and then moving into the whimsical. But hey, that’s me.
There […]
