Tuesday Tidbits – 314
Hello! For those that had MLK day off, hope you enjoyed it. We enjoyed some fun, albeit chilly, family time outside – with Violet at Sky Meadows State Park and then had a delicious lunch at one of our favorites outside the beltway, The Front Porch, in The Plains.

Happy Friday!
I bought a pack of these as one of Ava’s stocking stuffers and OH.MY.GOSH are they a hit. Hopefully these guys placate her curiosity and desire to have pierced ears for awhile!
How We Chose to “See” Sicily on Our Vacation
When you all take a vacation, domestically and/or internationally, how do you choose to see as much as you can that destination in the short time you have?

Happy Monday ya’ll!
Boy, do I have an fun and snazzy post today regarding an impressive production coming to DC’s National Theatre next month – Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake presented by the St. Petersburg Ballet Theatre! The ballet features prima ballerina Irina Kolesnikova, who is making her long-anticipated US debut.

- Here are some of my Home Refresh/ Wish List items for the new year – get a chandelier for our dining room (love this one and this one), new island chairs, frame some photos to hang on the walls.
- Fresh lemons for sale in Sicily.
- It took me awhile to get into One Day in December on Audible, but now I’m simply hooked. (Good thing to, because it seems like I may have been the ONLY person who wasn’t raving about this book last year.)
- We’re already planning our next family adventure – to Lake Tahoe in April! We have never been, so we welcome any tips – restaurants, things to do, things to do with kids, etc.
Hope you have a wonderful day!

Happy New Year Ya’ll! Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas (for those that celebrate it) and a fun New Year’s Eve doing whatever you wanted to be doing!
I can’t believe another decade has passed. It honestly didn’t hit me that we were closing out another decade until I saw someone else do a fun thing to honor the past decade – she listed all the significant life events that happened between 2010 – 2020. So I decided to do the same thing.
