In case you haven’t noticed, we like our wine at the TriWivesClub. It is definitely one of our pleasures and a way to cope with the triathlon lifestyle…at times…But, we’ve actually even started to get a bit more sophisticated about wine and learning what constitutes a good wine from a “why am I drinking this crap” wine. It has been an experience, however, albeit a…

Not everyone loves having guests in their home, but I really do. I enjoy having a house filled with people and love making them feel comfortable and wanted. In fact, I go out of my way to make them feel right at home. I’ve found over the years that it doesn’t really take a lot of effort or expense, just a bit of time doing…

I know I know, you don’t want to do anything on Sunday, because you know tomorrow is Monday. But I have to tell you, these five things make my week so much better and do not take up that much time. I either do them all at once or throughout the day, depending on what I have going on. As I am making breakfast,…

If you have to travel with your pet – we’re talking either dog or cat – and haven’t done so in the past, it’s imperative that you find out ahead of time what kind of travelers they are. Trust me, not all dogs are created equal when it comes to travel and many suffer from great anxiety and can even get motion sickness. This is…

We have received some awesome hostess gifts this year! And I mean awesome! I was asked to pick out my top 5, so here they are in no particular order. Well, maybe a little bit of an order. These are not just great for the holiday season, but year round – think housewarming – and they all say, “Hey, I really put some thought into…

When I think of a short getaway I think 3-4 nights. Just enough time to get there, settle in, relax, have some fun, drink a little wine, and do a little shopping. Two nights is never enough and once you get to five nights, why not stay a week… But, that said, going away for a quick 3-4 night getaway always brought up an…

Over the years, I have worked hard to provide my family with the best environment I possibly can. I use organic and real foods in the house. I bake, I cook, and I work hard to make healthy and clean eating easy for my family. I use all organic and/or natural products where I can. I am in no one over the top and…

Yes, it is there. Yes, it can be bad. Yes, it can be really bad. Yes, you should still go to China. And, I will be going back! Dana ZuckerI am a home cook that does things my way. In my kitchen, I make breakfast, pack lunches, prepare snacks, and cook dinner. During the week, we eat real food that is homemade, organic, and local….

Recently, I traveled with my BFFs and it was a blast; challenging at times, mind you, but a lot of fun. Traveling with my girlfriends is great way for me to get some much needed time away for my routine; talking about things you can only talk about with “the girls”. If you’ve never traveled this way before or it’s been a long time, maybe…

You book your trip because a friend said it was their “best trip ever”. You don’t do your own research or check out other reviews, because you figure your friend wouldn’t steer you wrong and if they like it, you’ll like it. After all, it does seem like the place is just your style. Then this happens…your luxury travel expectations and reality collide. Believe me,…

I am so excited! It’s July, which means I get to buy birthday gifts for teenage girls – two of my nieces. But, as they are getting older, I’m finding it harder and harder to pick the perfect gift. I know everyone says to just get them a gift card, but I really don’t like being that gift card person, even though I have been…
