Come cheers
with Chelsea!
Take a peek inside my life as I stir in a little spooky, shake up some cocktail fun and garnish it with the parenting wiles of a little monster and boo.
Hang out in my web and join me in a toast to cobwebs, cocktails and motherhood.

Let’s Talk Wine…Cocktails that Aren’t Sangrias
Despite being an avid wine drinker, I’m not a huge fan of sangria. When drinking them at restaurants, they’re not usually up to par and there’s only one sangria that I can think of that I genuinely enjoyed which was made by an old co-worker.
