2021 Life Updates

Guess who’s back?  Back again…  Ufda.  I did not expect to take such a hiatus from blogging!  In fact, I went into the year with so many ideas for blog posts.  I also went into the year with a positive pregnancy test and symptoms from that definitely changed things.

Alcohol-Free Wine to Celebrate the Holidays

Posted on by Leah

It goes without saying that 2020 is a very different year.  The holidays will be different.  Alcohol consumption is already different – it’s increased over last year thanks to the pandemic.  So why not end the year with different wine?  Alcohol-free wine that is.  I’ve been trying different brands for months and have narrowed it down to my top picks here.
