Kid-friendly wine tasting
Former educator, toddler parent, and Paso Robles resident. As an ’80s baby growing up in the Central Valley, I have fond memories of traveling to the Central Coast and accompanying my parents on their wine-tasting adventures. My sister and I would sample several varieties of mustards with little pretzel sticks as the grown-ups imbibed different varietals of wine. Some people will simply say that you should never bring kids to a winery. In Paso Robles, we live life like we are on vacation, taking advantage of the abundant surroundings and including our children whenever possible.

A Favorite Maker Grounded in Giving
Kei & Molly Textiles: Useful, Lovely, and Big Hearted. If you’ve visited us anytime in the past several years, you’ve probably seen the joyful designs of one of our favorite makers, Kei & Molly. There’s the custom tote bag they designed for us, complete with rolling vineyards and oak trees. Kei & Molly only take on a few custom designs a year, so we were truly happy they agreed to work with us on that. They also did a playful tea towel complete with a musician playing the sax for people in front of the gazebo in the downtown park. (When we were working with them on inspiration for the art, they read about the hot springs, and the first draft had two people bobbing in a hot tub, without swimsuits from the waist up. We had to pass, being a G-rated store and all, but it was delightful, and those two people seemed to be having a really, really good time in Paso!)

Spring has sprung
Samuel Johnson reminds us that “April is a moment of joy for those who have survived the winter.” After months of rain and stretches of gloomy weather, we’ve been stuck inside for days at a time. The lack of sunshine dampens our mood and often leaves us with emotional and physical challenges. Now it’s time to get outside and enjoy the warmer weather and April holidays like National Walking Day, National Gardening Day, Go Fly a Kite Day, National Picnic Day, and National Exercise Day, to name a few.
