Searching for a fun place to enjoy lunch with my dear friend Larissa, we stumbled upon two of the prettiest wineries in Temecula. We first enjoyed the grounds and wine tasting at Wilson Creek. We  purchased one of their most popular varieties Almond Champagne.  A few minutes up the road is the Ponte Winery.  Also known as one of the best lunch spots around, we had an amazing charcuterie platter and basil pesto chicken pizza. I highly recommend both these places for a fun afternoon and delicious food!!!

For the past few years I’ve enjoyed a comfy queen size bed.  However, once my second dog arrived, I needed to upgrade. Yes, of course, my dogs sleep with me!  While they prefer the cold tile, occasionally they sprawl out on my bed like it’s their own. So a California king bed became a necessity.  I adore Z Gallerie  where I purchased my new dream bed.  I now have a gorgeous frame, an insanely comfy mattress, the fluffiest comforter and TONS of pillows. I must add, buying a mattress was definitely the hardest big kid decision I’ve made thus far. While I might hit the snooze button some mornings, it was well worth it. There is nothing like a lazy day in bed with my little Ghost!!

When the temperature rises above 90 degrees in Huntington Beach, I start to melt.  In order to beat the heat, (especially with huskies), out comes the hose, mini pool and ICE CREAM. While I might share my ice cream cone with my doggies, I prefer to make them frozen yogurt treats that they enjoy!

To make these yummy ice cream treats, use store bought waffle cones.  Dip them in melted milk chocolate chips.  I use a mini crock pot.  After dipping the cone in the chocolate, sprinkle crushed graham crackers on top and refrigerate for at least an hour. When chocolate is hardened, add your favorite ice cream and enjoy!!!
