You might have noticed a few changes around here on MomsToolbox. Not too long ago I mentioned that I was moving my content from MomsTravel Tales to join MomsToolbox, and with the new header, I have also moved some of my wine content and series that were on VineSleuth Uncorked over to MomsToolbox, as well. It might take me a few days to get all those posts organized and recategorized, but they are here for the searching.
So what does this mean for you today on this happy #WineWednesday?
In the event you want to attend a tasting or learn more about wine, each month I will share wine events happening around the Houston area right here in the Houston section of MomsToolbox. If you aren’t near Houston and you’re interested in this sort of thing, a more complete listing of wine events happening throughout the US , as well as those near Houston, will be shared on the Wine4.Me blog.
I hope you’ll find a few events or classes that interest you… and maybe I’ll even see you out at one or two. If you do plan on attending an event, drop me a note and maybe we can meet up if I’m also going. (You can leave a comment on an events post, Tweet me or leave me a note on the MomsToolbox Facebook page and I’ll be on the lookout for you. :)
