Buzzing in and around Washington D.C. and pretty much everywhere else.
Happy Monday, ya’ll! Hope you had a great weekend. We sure did – we did lots of fun holiday things with the kiddos and I even got some Christmas shopping out of the way on Friday afternoon before I picked up the kiddos. 🙂
How are you approaching your gift-giving this year? My strategy is a little different this year with our Christmas trip to Sicily.

Any other mamas out there absolutely loving buying all the presents for your kiddos?! It’s hard not to go too crazy right? I am particularly having a ball buying Ava’s presents from her parents, Santa, and her little brother, because she’s at such a fun age where Christmas is truly magical and she understands how fun it is.

Hello! I hope everyone’s December is in full swing and that you’re having fun partying it up, Christmas shopping, eating delicious food, listening to Christmas music, and watching all the holiday movies. Can you tell that I love this month?!
Here are some of the things that are making me happy. Shocking, a lot of them are centered around the holidays. [Read more…]
And who can believe that it’s the week BEFORE Thanksgiving?! Before yours truly treks up to Maine for Turkey Day, my best friend and I are heading to New York City this Thursday for a long weekend. Cannot wait. Follow along on IG and stay tuned for a recap! [Read more…]
Happy Monday everyone! I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend and a Happy New Year.
Pardon the timeliness (or lack thereof) for this post, but this is just to prepare you for the several posts that will be a mix of recaps and current musings for awhile as I try and make up the time I lost while I took a brief hiatus. 🙂 Hopefully all the back and forth will make sense. [Read more…]

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas! [Read more…]
1. This past weekend I went to a couple of restaurants I had never been to before.
On Friday night, my friend Nova and I met for drinks, which then turned into dinner, at 1905 on U Street. I had heard great things about 1905’s cocktails and burger. I had been trying to come here for months but something always came up (read: whoever I was doing happy hour with at the time and I decided to go to a closer bar). I finally made it! Nova and I were very happy with our cocktails and we ordered their homemade potato chips for an appetizer and their potato gnocchi to share for dinner. (I’m sorry, I didn’t take any photos. 🙁 ) [Read more…]
This week’s Tuesday Tidbits is devoted to all the things I am excited to do this holiday season!
1. Our annual holiday party. Ever since we moved to D.C. in 2006 we have always hosted some kind of holiday party in December. This year is no different, though we are trying something new this year. Instead of hosting it at our place as we always have, we are renting a portion of a restaurant for our party this year. Can’t wait! [Read more…]
I hope everyone had an amazing Thanksgiving!
Tommy, Violet and I were in bed by 9:36pm if that is any indication of how our Thanksgiving went. Our bellies were full and Tommy and all the other Redskins fans were happy with the final score of the football game. Cowboys fans? Not so much. [Read more…]
