I am Kristin Codding.
Wife to Mr. C. Mom to three boys. A Daughter, Sister, & Bestie that believes life should be lived in full blown technicolor, accompanied by loud, genuine laughs, copious amounts of fantastic wine and homemade, delicious meals.
Hugs should be given, kisses exchanged, and glasses clinked. You get one chance.
So God dammit , sip wine, savor life & style accordingly. C'est vous plait.

I am also an avid traveler, aspiring home cook, amateur gardener, tennis addict, hater of winter in spite of living in one of the worst climates on the planet, firm believer in The Peacock Theory (more on this later) and beach lover extraordinaire. I like Pajama Sundays with my family, card games with my friends, snuggling with my boys like we are a pack of puppies, throwing parties, beautifully wrapped gifts, drinking Rose wine while I garden, fine linens, Vietnamese food, laughing with (and at) my husband who is so crazy clever it is scary, gin, colorful language, our voluptuous pug Maudie along with two twitchy Tonkinese cats, Dave Matthews and sleeping longer than I should as an adult.
I detest insomnia, people that view passive aggressive behavior as a virtue, those that can't tolerate profanity, bad drivers (even though I am one of THE worst), taking tests, taxes, the thought that marriage is not legal for all, barking dogs, piles of laundry, and small planes.
I have failed my written Minnesota Drivers License test numerous times which is why I still carry a California Driver's License. I just got them to put my Minnesota address on it, don't ask me how. I would show it you but the picture is tragic, and if my friends laugh at it, you certainly will too. I chalk up my failure to pass this silly test to what I call the "Tick" in my brain. This Tick has also made me a very slow study in playing cards, learning patterns in tennis, and remembering where I put my car keys and cell phone. I am a hater of technology (with exception of the omnipresent iPhone) and computers, printers, cameras, and remote controls all illicit the same temper tantrums from me when they consistently malfunction in my presence. I am intensely envious of those that can understand, program and operate said gadgets.
I always liked to write, but never thought I was any good at it. I still don't necessarily think I am all that, but this blog gives me a way of expressing my very vivid, outspoken, direct, opinionated opinions. I am a keen observer of people, places, and experiences which is the primary reason I started this little online journal. Welcome to my social microscope- welcome to Sip.Savor.Style.
I hope you enjoy yourself, don't get too offended too often, and frequently come back for more.
