<h2><strong>Life is tough.</strong></h2>
No matter how awesome you are, sometimes life can kick you in the tail. That's just the way it is. There's no preparing for it, there's no guarding against it... If it's gonna happen, it's gonna happen. It's times like these that you need to bring a little balance and wine into your life.
<h3><b>Ok, not literally balance and wine...</b></h3>
I KIND of mean that in the literal sense, but mostly the philosophical sense... <i>Roll with me here...</i>

This past weekend I attended the South Shore Food and Wine Expo with my mom and Megan. We had a ton of fun, tried lots of new things, and the idea for this week's episode was born.
<h3><b>In this episode:</b></h3>
<ul>
 	<li>A heart to heart about wants vs needs</li>
 	<li>Finding balance when life "gets in the way"</li>
 	<li>Moving things off the chore list and into the fun zone</li>
 	<li>A recap of the South Shore Food and Wine Expo</li>
</ul>
<b>Check out my guests!</b>

The event was great, and I was thrilled to meet so many awesome vendors! Please take a moment to check them out online and learn more. Hopefully you'll see more of some of them here!
