Wine Wednesday: Let’s Catch Up!

It’s been a while since I’ve updated you about my family and our life. I figured it’s about time to bring back Wine Wednesday, but with a little catching up involved. So – let’s catch up over a glass of wine (or another beverage of your choice).

What I’m Drinking

Before delving into our chat it’s important to talk wine. Today I’m drinking 19 Crimes, Cali Red with Snoop Dogg on it. It’s one of my favorites, and I’m drinking it out of a new wine glass that I just opened today! Check out the rose gold mirror wine glass here.

What the Barkleys are Up to

Life has been crazy busy with the kids going back to school, and it seems like it’ll only get busier with fall sports and activities starting. Here’s a quick update on each of the kids:

• Sylas is eight now and just started the 3rd grade. He’s playing soccer this fall.
• Josie is six and in the 1st grade. She’s playing soccer, participating in two cheerleading programs, and doing ballet and gymnastics.
• Liam is five and in kindergarten, and he’s playing soccer too.

My boys like to keep their schedules light, but Josie doesn’t stop and wants to do it all.

I’ve been building my freelance writing business. I volunteer for whatever I can with the kids and their school, so I stay pretty busy. Chris is an assistant manager at a gym and a super dad who helps with school pick-ups and drop-offs. He also helps shuttle the kids to their activities and makes the best ever fried chicken.
