Good, Good Friday

Every holiday, Bradley and I pack up the car and the dogs and travel back to North Carolina to spend the occasion with our families. I am so blessed that my parents allow the 4 of us to stay with them, usually my grandparents stay the weekend too.

This weekend for Easter is no different from any other holiday. We love to sit around outside during the day, letting the dogs run their little hearts out while we sit around and talk. At night however, the men (Bradley, my dad, and my grandfather) sit around the kitchen table with their whiskey and cards playing poker, while my mom, my grandmother, myself and the dogs relax on the couch drinking wine and catch up with each other.

Today was a little different, we decided to have our own little wine tasting. While at the grocery store today, I discovered a wine that we have never seen in Tennessee... Barefoot Sweet Red. Usually, my favorite is a Red Moscato so this seemed liked something that would be right up my alley. We purchased the Barefoot Sweet Red, Barefoot Red Moscato and just for fun, Duplin Carolina Red Sweet Muscadine Wine.

At the end of the tasting, results were in! 

(1.) Red Moscato won the most votes. It is not too dry but not too sweet and has a great taste. Definitely a good wine for someone who is new to the world of wine or who is trying to transition from sweet white wines such as regular Moscato or a pink Moscato to more dry, red wines.

(2.) The new discovery, Sweet Red was second place. Since it is a blend of reds, it was still a little too dry for me, but did have a surprising little sweet after taste.

(3.) Duplin Carolina Red ranked at the bottom of the list. It tasted more like a very sweet grape juice rather than wine and was not a favorite of anyone involved in our family tasting.

Mom and I after our wine tasting :-) What is your favorite wine? Are there any that you've been wanting to try? Let me know in the comments section!! 

Happy Easter!

A Little About Me..

Happy Snowy, Spring Day! I thought this second post would be a great one to tell you a little about who I am, as well as my journey.

{Who Am I?}

• Tennessee Graduate (raised in North Carolina)
• Newlywed to an amazing man (he runs all the power tools for my crafts)
• Mother to two very furry creatures Tucker (2 year old chocolate lab) & Mollie (4 year old black lab mix)
• Passion for crafts and cooking (with a little help from the hubs)

{What is my journey?}

I am on several journeys right now, (1) to be a great wife. I love being a wife and having the responsibility of a family. They are my number one priority, that unfortunately can sometimes get lost in the mix of life. (2) to be an expert in the field that I love, health and wellness. My dream is to become a public health educator and revamp health and wellness in our public schools. I currently work full-time in a physical therapy clinic as an exercise physiologist. (3) to share with the world the things that I love, my family, cooking and crafts, and finally (4) to have a blog that inspires people in any way that it can, and keep up with it! 

{What's Going On Now}

Bradley and  I have a few fun crafts going on right now, they will be posted once they're done :-) I'll give you a hint... Pinterest (my addiction) both crafts are made from wooden pallets!

I hope you've learned a little about me and my journeys! I'd love to know what your journeys are! Post them in the comments :-)

Love,
Katheryn

First Day of Spring ...

This blog has been in my head for almost a year now. First making the decision to blog, and more importantly, what to blog about. Then, the biggest and most time-consuming process, coming up with a unique, creative, encompassing blog name that hadn't already been taken. Over and over again I would search in Google blogger for names that I loved, liked, or simply just names that were "okay". Finally one rainy, winter day wasting hours on quote sites and Pinterest while my sick husband was asleep on the couch, I found it: love where you're going. It was perfect. It is unique, creative, encompassing and finally, not yet taken! "Love where you're going" takes into account life, every part of it. Every journey we are all on and loving each encounter and step along the way.

This blog will share with you the things I love, and things I love to do. I can't wait to share with you crafts, recipes, my family and anything else I encounter on my journey.

Love,
Katheryn
