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

Tuesday Tidbits – 283

  1. I suppose it’s my turn to be sick. I haven’t been feeling well since last Friday and yesterday was probably the worst I felt. I have a doctor’s appointment later this afternoon where I’ll hopefully get prescribed some stronger meds to kick this nasty cough and congestion out for good. Side note: I pride myself in the fact that I rarely get sick sick, so when I do get sick, I mark it in my calendar. Guess when I was sick last? February 2018!
  2. Please send thoughts and prayers that I feel better before my GALS NASHVILLE trip this weekend and that no one in my family gets this nasty bug. I wouldn’t wish it on anyone.
  3. Trying to decide how I feel about this: stop calling Asian women adorable.
  4. I bought this mascara from Beautycounter and I must say I am loving it.
  5. We took some professional photos amongst the Cherry Blossoms this past weekend (something that has been on my bucket list for a long time)! We got a few sneak peaks yesterday from the photographer. Love them and cannot wait to see the rest!

Blossom Kite Festival

Last Saturday my little family and I ventured to the Blossom Kite Festival on the National Mall. This is an annual, cool & family-friendly, and free event that is part of the whole Cherry Blossom Festival celebration. For one reason or another, I hadn’t been able to make it to previous kite festivals, but am so glad we did this year! Everyone had a blast.

  1. 5 Essential Truths to Starting a Business
  2. So excited to wear this dress on repeat this spring and summer!
  3. Ladies – How Do You Take Back Credit for An Idea You Had?
  4. Candle advice that is surprisingly helpful and useful.
  5. Had a dinner double date with our friends Liz and Ling at Earl’s Kitchen & Bar at Tyson’s Corner this past weekend. I had never heard of Earl’s before, but we really liked their food. Turns out its a Canadian restaurant chain with only a few locations in the U.S. (so far!)

Nationals Season Home Opener

Happy Monday ya’ll!

I hope those in the DMV-area enjoyed the beautiful Spring-esque weather (especially on Saturday!) this weekend. Speaking of spring-like weather, Tommy and I took the day off last Thursday so we could go to the Washington Nationals Season Home Opener and we were blessed with amazing baseball weather, which was a huge bonus.

Frugal Friday – 1

Happy Friday ya’ll!

I’ve decided to start a new series on the blog called “Frugal Friday”! Every Friday I’ll share an economically-friendly item, experience, or opportunity that I think you all might enjoy. While I’m all for the finer things in life (in moderation), sometimes it’s equally fulfilling to find amazing things at affordable prices as well. 🙂

Tuesday Tidbits – 281

  1. I think Ava needs one of these.
  2. I found this “sorry” article one of the most fascinating things I’ve read recently. I know I do this more often than not and now I’m going to catch myself when I’m about to utter this word.
  3. So yes, Tommy and I are about 9 years behind from when the TV show, The Office, last aired in 2013 (minus syndication), but we have settled into a new, fun evening routine that I look forward to every day – once the kiddos are in bed, we’ll each have a glass of wine and watch a couple episodes of The Office together. We are currently more than halfway through Season 3. It’s the little things ya’ll.
  4. If the weather holds this coming weekend, I would love to take the kids to the Blossom Kite Festival on Saturday. Will we see any of you there?!
  5. We’ve become fans of Nook, another indoor play area with a couple locations around town (Mosaic District and Ballston).

Double Please!

Last Saturday evening Tommy and I had a great double date with our friends Kathryn and Matt. Both of our daughters, Ava and Addie, now go to the same preschool and their preschool offers a monthly “Parents Night Out”. For $30 (per kid), you can drop your kiddo off at the preschool on the chosen Saturday from 4:30pm – 8:30pm and be assured that they will get fed and be taken care of for those said hours. It’s a dream!
