Birthdays are fun! This is no exception. I am having cake with my coffee today because I'm celebrating the ONE YEAR BIRTHDAY of "As Noted by Me".

I've learned A LOT in the last year. I made a promise to keep going, even when it seemed I was being pulled in 10,000 other directions. This is fun and that is what I have kept it! I would have loved to make more posts, make more food, travel more and just do more for me this year, but I am learning to slowly grow into this new adventure.

I've have big ideas for my second year coming up! I'm so excited to share a "Book of the Month". With the help of a few of my faithful reading friends, I've compiled a list of books to read each month for the next year (starting March 1st). I will announce the book each month on the 1st, along with a follow-up set of questions or review topics for the book that was just finished the month prior. I'm very excited for it!

I also have a monthly "Sips & Snacks" (a wine, cocktail and mocktail) to share and I am hoping to add a food twist each month. For example, the best snacks to have with Merlot. Each wine will have two price points, a sweet spot price range and a special day price range. I have loved finding some great wines for you to try. I will also highlight a cocktail and mocktail each month! Some of them are my creations and some are other creator's favorites that I will share with you. YEAH!!! Cheers!

There will be more recipes, more travel and food notes/recommendations, more local highlights , and more "Question of the Week" and "Self-Care Sunday" on my social media platforms too!
