Proof that I can, in fact, be convinced to spend an entire rainy day looking at cars… if there’s a lager involved 🍺🏁

Started the day with Hill Climb Lager (4.7%) and honestly that set the tone perfectly for the Wilbraham Hill Climb.

Fun fact: the hill climb originally started as a way for early auto manufacturers in Western Mass and Northern Connecticut to test and show off their cars which makes the whole event feel even cooler when you’re standing there watching these vintage cars race up the mountain.

Between the old meeting house, classic cars, local beer, and watching my husband nearly melt during the hot wing competition 🔥 🌶️ it was such a fun New England small town kind of day.

10/10 would absolutely stand in the rain holding a beer while pretending I know things about engines again. Cheers! 🍻

This weekend was all about saying goodbye to the old and making room for something better!

Hours of digging, pulling, and seriously questioning my life choices later our new hydrangeas are happy in their new home.

Anyone else doing some major spring cleaning or planting this weekend? 💐

🍺 Cheers to the beers (and sips) that made 2025 extra delicious ✨

From spooky season stouts and pumpkin spice pours, to sours that wowed me and a few magical Disney + cruise drinks along the way, this year was all about trying fun things, supporting great breweries, and savoring the moments in between.

This year we also bought a house and of course there was beer to celebrate because moving days and milestone moments absolutely deserve a great pour.

Here’s my 2025 beer (and drink) recap, curious what are you celebrating as we enter 2026? Cheers! 🍻

All I want for Christmas is Enzo themed pajamas 🐾 wishing you and yours a wonderful Christmas and blessed holiday season!
