You might have noticed a few changes around here on MomsToolbox. Not too long ago I mentioned that I was moving my content\u00a0from MomsTravel Tales<\/a> to join MomsToolbox, and with the new header, I have also \u00a0moved some\u00a0of 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.<\/p>\n In the event you want to attend a tasting or learn more about wine, each month I will share wine events happening\u00a0around 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\u00a0more complete listing of wine events happening throughout the US , as well as those near Houston, will be shared on the Wine4.Me blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n 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 <\/a>or leave me a note on the MomsToolbox Facebook page<\/a> and I’ll be on the lookout for you. :)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Jump to an Event<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Event:<\/strong> Enjoy pizza and wine at CR\u00da on Mondays!
