Tuesday Tidbits – 256

And we’re back at it with Tuesday Tidbits!

  1. Best Snacks for Kids
  2. Really want to go here post-Luke for a glass of wine (or two) and some small plates! Or maybe settle for delivery via Caviar. 🙂
  3. The Most Popular Recipe in Every State
  4. The 8 Most Common Bedroom Layout Mistakes
  5. Fall is officially here (what?!) so I’m feeling like doing some Fall things with my sweet family and friends – we’re talking wineries, pumpkin patches, apple-picking, you name it. For the locals out there – any suggestions on where we should go for any of these things? I’m always looking for recs!

Weekend Recap – A Farm, A CPR Class, and a Water Park

Happy Monday folks!

Hope you all had a great weekend. We sure did – we were bracing ourselves for a weekend of thunderstorms and rains and hence changing most of our weekend plans, but we lucked out with the weather and had a pretty great weekend outdoors. [Read more…]

Babymoon #2 at the Mandarin Oriental in DC

Tommy and I were fortunate enough to sneak away for a short, but amazing stay at the Mandarin Oriental hotel last weekend for a Babymoon before little Luke arrives. Our good friend Christina generously offered to watch Ava and Violet beginning Saturday afternoon through Sunday at noon so Tommy and I could get a little R&R time. And R&R time we got! [Read more…]

Tuesday Tidbits – 252

Happy Tuesday Folks! Apologies, as it has been FOREVER (it feels like it anyway) since I’ve posted. Definitely not intentional, but there was unexpected backend work that needed to be done on my blog that took a bit longer than originally thought. But I’m back now. 🙂 [Read more…]

Tuesday Tidbits – 251

Happy Tuesday ya’ll!

  1. Kind of sad, not gonna lie. I remember when there were a ton of cheap HHs (happy hours) in the city.
  2. I had a work retreat at Kent Manor Inn on the Eastern Shore last week. 
  3. Listen to your Graduation Playlist. (The biggest hits from the year you graduated).
  4. I’m starting to think of things to pack in my Hospital Go Bag for Luke. Any suggestions?
  5. The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale opens to the general public this Friday – this is one of the items I’m eyeing.

Hope you have a great day!

Luke’s Baby Shower Recap

Happy Monday everyone! Hope you had a fun and restful one. I wouldn’t say mine was restful per se, as I was coming off a 3-day work retreat on Friday afternoon and was on single parent duty for the weekend since Tommy made a quick trip to Portland, Maine for his youngest sister’s surprise birthday party. Now we have a houseful of guests this week (my dad, his wife, their son, and Tommy’s oldest sister, Christy, for a couple of days). Loving it – summer is definitely in full swing!

Two weekends ago, Luke (and I) were given the sweetest and most beautiful baby shower by four of my dearest friends – Christina, Arlene, Allison, and Tiffany – at my house. [Read more…]
