Sommelier at Home

I know I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, to know @sueywest is to know the best mama in the world. Hands down the most beautiful, bubbly and fun woman I’ve ever met! I really want to be like her when I get the privilege to be a mom. Happy Mother’s Day! And I also want to recognize that Mother’s Day is a very sensitive day for many- this year for me is especially sensitive because I lost a baby last month. SO, to all the moms out there, whether you’re an auntie-mom, ...a dog mom, a mother to your bestie, missing your mom, don’t know your mom all the circumstances- you are so loved, and fully seen today. As always much love, Ashley

Bringing some colour and inspiration to your feed on this dreary Monday! @keshiajenkinson looking stunning and happy as per usual with a glass in hand! .... . . . #bcwine #fraservalleywine #chilliwacktulipfest #thefraservalley #fraservalleyevents #sommathome #womeninwine
