Foster Progress's mentoring program matches youth who have experienced foster care with a one-on-one college educated mentor who helps them finish high school strong and walk through the college application and financial aid process. Maggie has loved volunteering with the program. Her mentee is a talented, successful college junior. Maggie has known her mentee longer than she's known DJ!

Maggie and DJ are locked in battle over whether to hand-wash items or throw everything in the dishwasher. Help Maggie out by facilitating her handwashing. Or don't and make a statement about whose side you're really on.

While most wine Maggie drinks are twist-offs, we'd love a backup for when DJ drinks red. Cheers!

Charcuterie on-the-go is every millennial's dream.

We've been on a mission to find the cheapest, most "crushable" white wines. Highly recommend Kirkland Signature Sauvignon Blanc. Serve chilled.

"I will never marry a Notre Dame guy," Maggie chuckles to herself as she adds a Notre Dame tailgate canopy to her wedding registry. Ah, to be young and naïve.
