Wine Of The Month
Look what I have here:
We just got some wine delivered from Gold Medal this week. They have a great wine of the month club that you can join. I’ll be honest, we are not huge wine drinkers at my house, so I will be unable to give you a play by play of how exactly it tasted. I just know good or bad. In my opinion, this wine is good. We had both a white wine to try and a red wine to try, and they were both most excellent.
Besides the taste of the wine, there were many things that impressed me by this company. First, I love that the wine came wrapped. Most of the wine we do order is gifts. It is helpful to have it prettily wrapped. I have not seen any other company do this before, and it definitely makes them stand out. You can see that this wine came with a ton of paperwork. One piece of the paperwork is a wine tasting scoresheet. I love this idea! They want to know what you think of the appearance, aroma, body, flavor, texture, and aftertaste. They want to know if your wine was up your standards. I love it. This is a great way to please your customers. Plus, if your customer is not satisfied with their wine, they are able to let them know what exactly the problem was. The wine came very well packaged, so there was not a chance of the bottles breaking. I could have dropped the box, and they still wouldn’t have broke. Another piece of paperwork that was sent was their newsletter. There was a great piece on the owner of the company in there. There was also two really good sounding recipes in there too. My favorite line of the recipe was “two glasses of chardonnay for the chef”. I think I can handle that!

Kids and Hardwood Floors
I have just one more installment of my Vegas trip to still write up, but we have a small issue at my house that I am trying to figure out. Except for our bedrooms, my entire house is hardwood floors. They look great. However, they are not great for children. Madison has slipped several times already. We had the “I think she broke her nose” incident a couple of months ago when she slipped and did a faceplant. Now, my issue is Will. Besides slipping, the other issues are that it isn’t very comfortable to lay on, and it gets super cold. If I lay Will on the floor, I put him on a blanket. However, he seems to slide a lot and I can’t stand when he drops his head into the floor. It also isn’t too conducive for him to learn how to crawl. Tonight, I went into Madison’s closet and got the foam alphabet set we bought when Madison was learning to walk. However, I do not see it staying in one piece and lasting as long as we need. When we used it with Madison, we had carpet. This is a whole different ballgame. What I am thinking is that we need to get a couple of rugs for the living room. I would prefer a couple of decorative area rugs, but I am thinking anything is better than nothing at this point. Bill is worried about an area rug scratching up the hardwood floor. I told him that you can buy a protector to put underneath.
My question is to all of you who have hardwood floors. How do you handle that with kids? Did you buy an area rug to protect them or did you try something else? Let me know any suggestions you have!
