Hello, bloggy friends! Although SN and I still recommend Amerisleep mattresses (more than ever, actually, now that our original AS3 bed is almost 7 years old and still like-new), I'm writing this post to share exciting news. After being gone all year, the extra $50 discount is back! To receive $250 off any size Amerisleep mattress, rather than just a wimpy $200, visit Amerisleep through this promo code link and enter coupon KITTY at checkout. You'll also receive free shipping and, if needed, free and easy returns. WAIT! I can do better than that. Want to save $275, which is a better promo code than any other Amerisleep mattress reviews website? Just check out the extra discount details on my original review . Still not sold? Visit my  mattress comparison chart . It even features a video of yours truly with her dress way too high in the air. Take that, Tempur-Pedic! Amerisleep makes me jump for joy. No, that's too corny. Amerisleep...ummm... You try coming up ...

Recently, my family and I were fortunate to attend the second annual Taos Wine Festival, which is held each summer in the Taos Ski Valley. I didn't know if this year would be able to top, or at least match, the near-perfect inaugural event. As one of my favorite memories of last year, I sure hoped it would.

It's no exaggeration to say the Taos Summer Wine Festival is one of the best foodie experiences in the United States.  While other wine events offer a hodgepodge of tastings and loosely related prix fixe meals, Cecilia Cuff and her fellow festival organizers have proven that what really makes a weekend flawless are the special details. At the Taos Summer Wine Festival, no small touch has been overlooked. Tips are included. Bubbly is plentiful and encouraged. There was even free ch...

We're home from another amazing New Mexico wine festival, the Wine & Wagyu Weekend in picturesque Angel Fire. Here's a taste (hee, hee) of all the fun you missed at the 2018 Wine and Wagyu Weekend. Well, unless you're a Texan, in which case you were surely there. Man, Texans love the New Mexico mountains. Wine? Check. Hiking? Check. Wildflowers? Check. Wagyu beef? I think I may have devoured an entire cow. Below is just a small sample ( only 31 photos) of the fun and delicious things you missed if you didn't make it up to Angel Fire, NM this year. I expect to see each and every one of you (yes, you ) at Wine & Wagyu, 2019. But first, a little ridiculousness. When we attended the Taos Summer Wine Festival last weekend, I dragged along an entire suitcase of clothing options. A heavy jacket, light jackets (plural!), hiking boots, sandals, closed-toe shoes, and more. (Much more.) For only one weekend, it was excessive. I will do better in Angel Fire , ...
