We’ve all got that one friend who LOVES their wine, and I’m so excited to be writing on this topic because I am THAT friend! I’m Emma, a wife, mom, and U.S. Navy veteran. I love working out with my local Fit4Mom group, and a book and a glass of wine are how I unwind at the end of a long day. I do have my own blog, but writing for Kelsey has helped me explore my creativity, and I’ve enjoyed it thoroughly! I have two beautiful babies, a girl, age two, and a newborn baby boy who recently turned two months old. Thanks to my time in the military, I was able to explore a bit of Eastern Europe, and so began my love affair with wine. I’m particular to red wines, and Cabernet Sauvignon is my favorite. This topic was so fun to research, and I even added a few of these gifts to my holiday wish list.
