The joke’s on…all of us!
Spring showers overhead, flower blossoms ready to bloom and the sounds of people venturing outside for exercise and much needed sun — these are all elements that you’d include among the “sights and sounds” of April. Well, as most of us have come to recognize, April just isn’t April without one other sacred element as well. Which might that be? The April Fools’ joke, of course!

The Official House Party Blog Book Club
I don’t know about you, but I’m a voracious reader. Always have been. Books are just this amazing escape as well as an educational and enlightening journey for me. I used to belong to a book club that met monthly. We kept it going for about five years before kids, life and moving to the ‘burbs took hold. And I miss it! I still read, but I really enjoy being able to discuss what I’ve read with others.

Oscar predictions: who will take home the gold
If you’re a regular reader of this blog (and you should be!), then you know I’m a big movie fan. And while I don’t get to see as many movies as I’d like anymore, I do obsessively follow the award-season hoopla and just film reviews in general. I like to be in the know. And because I’m a reader and viewer of all-things-Oscar, today I’d like to help you win your office pool or just make you look really smart at your viewing party. So, without further ado, I give you my predictions for who will take home Oscar gold in the major categories (because no one cares about sound editing…sorry, sound editors). Drumroll please…

Groundhog Day: A day just like any day
“What would you do if you were stuck in one place and every day was exactly the same, and nothing that you did mattered?” Maybe you haven’t thought in depth about this question (it isn’t exactly the most uplifting, we’ll give you that!), but with Groundhog Day this Saturday we thought it appropriate, nonetheless. Whether you’re a fan of the 1993 Bill Murray classic film or not, we can all relate to how awkward and crazy life would get if it was the same day, everyday. Just imagine…or don’t! So, while the experts try to figure out whether Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow and if we’ll all be sentenced to another six weeks of winter, take the time to enjoy this clip from one of our favorite movies.

Learning about sparkling things: Method Champenoise
I love wine. All kinds of wine. White. Red. Sparkling. Notice I didn’t say Champagne. That’s because Champagne is simply sparkling wine from the region of Champagne in France. In Spain they call it Cava and in Italy, Prosecco. Because I’m a wine lover, I know a few things about wine and sometimes I think I know it all. Believe me, I do not! And thanks to a House Special’s deal, I got to take a class to learn just how much I didn’t know. So, whether you’re a newbie or a self-proclaimed expert, if you live in NY and are looking to expand your horizons (or perhaps as a great Valentine’s Day idea), I urge you to get the deal for Proud Wineaux (pronounced Wine-O).
