Eating out with Baby
A few new stops for meals with Jackson means a few more posts from me! Applebee’s Southside – Overall, the experience was ok. They did not have cups with lids (like Chili’s) for young ones, but everything else was pretty decent. We weren’t really impressed with the food this time around, but I’m not sure [...]
Mr. Mike’s
A number of people enjoyed the post I made yesterday talking about baby friendly restaurants. I realized that I missed a few.

Cherry Wine?
Recently, I picked up a bottle of Elephant Island Cherry (2007). That’s right, a wine made from cherries rather than grapes. In fact, all of Elephant Island’s products are made with fruits other than grapes. I had heard good things through my interweb travels about this producer, so I decided I’d check them out. Originally, I was [...]
