Just for Moms – 5:00 Fridays

Ilinap · May 6, 2011 ·

There have been lots of quips about what makes the world go 'round. But we mothers know the real truth here. Mothers make the world go 'round. We all live our own brand of motherhood. We carry on with equal parts of smiles and grimaces as we Kerry Strug our … [Read more...] about Just for Moms – 5:00 Fridays

Pink Ladies – 5:00 Fridays

Ilinap · April 29, 2011 ·

I have a group of gal pals who do the Komen Race for the Cure every year. We do the race route twice, walking all 10 K, mind you. Then we go get pedicures, lunch, and drinks. It's become a tradition of sorts. My first Race for the Cure was for Susan, whom I had read about but … [Read more...] about Pink Ladies – 5:00 Fridays

Mexican Bloody Mary – 5:00 Fridays

Ilinap · April 22, 2011 ·

I've just spent the better part of a week in San Diego for spring break with my family. No, we didn't go to the zoo. Yes, we went to Sea World and LEGOLAND. We ate copious amounts of fish tacos and drank our weight in margaritas (on the rocks, with salt). Mac Daddy and Bird … [Read more...] about Mexican Bloody Mary – 5:00 Fridays

Spring Break – 5:00 Fridays

Ilinap · April 15, 2011 ·

It's almost spring break, and that means just one thing: tequila! I never was a spring break kind of girl. My senior year of college I was home with the chicken pox over spring break while all my friends went to Mexico. But who am I kidding? My dad would have never let me go … [Read more...] about Spring Break – 5:00 Fridays

Aw, Man. Go! – 5:00 Fridays

Ilinap · April 8, 2011 ·

Since Deal has been an itty bitty little guy, he would tell anyone who would listen that his favorite food is mango. It must be the Indian half of him. Bird and Deal devour mango lassis, and ask for mangoes every time we go to the grocery store. We are coming upon the … [Read more...] about Aw, Man. Go! – 5:00 Fridays

Seattle’s Next Best – 5:00 Fridays

Ilinap · April 1, 2011 ·

I've never been to Seattle. I have known people who lived there over the years but never made my way west for a visit. Mac Daddy has been a few times and raved about the restaurant scene. One restaurant sounded more like a strip club, but hey, he was with sales people in the … [Read more...] about Seattle’s Next Best – 5:00 Fridays

Wine Twits Wine Tasting – 5:00 Fridays

Ilinap · March 25, 2011 ·

Last night I hosted an intimate little wine tasting with Fadra and the Jeffs as my guests. That could totally be a band, with Fadra wearing white gogo boots and the Jeffs singing duwop tunes wearing white dinner jackets. There were boots and jackets for sure, but nothing that … [Read more...] about Wine Twits Wine Tasting – 5:00 Fridays
