Buzzing in and around Washington D.C. and pretty much everywhere else.

Frugal Friday – 8

Happy Friday! I don’t know about you, but whenever I can find pockets of time to get crafty and creative, I love every minute of it. Last week was Teacher Appreciation at Ava’s preschool and I put together a fun, not-so-expensive gift box for her teacher, Ms. Taimika.

I bought the cutest little box crate on Amazon and then went to a local coffee and dessert shop in Del Ray and bought some cutely-packaged and delicious treats (3 items) to put in the box crate. I finished the gift box with a single pink rose in a vase (a beautiful glass container I saved from a NYC trip years ago, when I bought a green juice somewhere).

The glass container says “Love”. How apropos!

Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

A Rainy Mother’s Day

Hello and Happy Monday! I hope all the Mamas and Mama-Figures had a wonderful Mother’s Day yesterday. Mine was pretty great, except that it rained pretty much all day yesterday. But as I told Tommy, we had been blessed with picture-perfect weather the last two Mother’s Day weekends, so I guess rain one year was imminent. We made the best of it though!

Why I’m Loving Seasonal Roots

Happy Thursday ya’ll!

As most Bee in DC readers know, Tommy and I try to live and lead a healthy and active lifestyle and we certainly intend to have Ava and Luke do the same. So we are all about leading by example, teaching them healthy eating habits and by demonstrating an active lifestyle that includes Tommy and I each working out at least 5 days a week, encouraging outdoor time at the park or taking a hike.

Veteran’s Day 2 Mile Walk with the family last November!

When Seasonal Roots approached me about a partnership, I was immediately intrigued and then downright giddy. (As was Tommy). Seasonal Roots is basically an online farmer’s market with delivery. So you get the best of both worlds – local, fresh, and seasonal goodies delivered right to your doorstep!
