All Quiet on the Home Front
I'm a single mother again this week. While my husband jets around the world for business, I'm keeping watch on the home front. Clearly, single motherhood (albeit temporary) is not without its stresses. Being the only taxi driver, schedule keeper, homework helper, housekeeper, diaper changer, and cook available to my three kids can be downright exhausting.
I've learned to look on the bright side: Simple, kid-friendly dinners—and a glass of French red wine -- Côtes du Rhone -- for me. Last night, I prepared one of my kids' favorites: Sliders. Mini-burgers with American cheese on sweet Hawaiian rolls. Heaven.

This J. Vidal Fleury Côtes du Rhone was the perfect antidote to the mayhem. A fruity yet spicy full-bodied red, it goes well with red meat the spicy dishes. Sliders, too.
Cheers to all the amazing single moms out there—even the temporary ones.
