Today, I’m jumping on a plane and heading to Seattle. Home sweet home. No big occasion, just to all be together as a family.

Whenever I travel, even if it’s to a doctor’s appointment, I always have a snack. Sometimes a meal. . . or two.

One, being gluten intolerant my options are limited. Two, airport food is expensive. Three, I have to eat every few hours or I get cranky. <my husband “you sound like a child”>

favorite mix + 1/2 teaspoon of salt = snack happy

I like making my own trail mix that way I can control what goes in it. You want 80% chocolate, you get 80% chocolate.

A few of my other favorites travel snacks include this and that.

and the plan for the weekend is. . .

Thursday: Hangin’ with my mom – open a bottle of Rombauer, popcorn for dinner and fire in the fireplace. Later, my dad and sister arrive.

Friday: Hair appointments, just the girls – priorities. My husband arrives [Yay!!]. The usual, wine + dinner + getting cozy by the fire.

Saturday: Lunch and wine tasting with the family. Dinner at home, just the five of us [& then we say thank you and go out].

Sunday: Breakfast with in-laws. Walk & coffee with my best friend before visiting our other friend and the twins! Again,  the usual, wine + dinner + getting cozy by the fire.

Monday – Thursday: Working, seeing friends, lots of mom & me time, and of course, consuming lots of wine & popcorn. The usual.

I love going home.
