Buzzing in and around Washington D.C. and pretty much everywhere else.
Mommy and Ava Week is slowing drawing to a close! As I type I’m praying Ava goes down for her afternoon nap. Her molars are coming in this week….so that’s been fun…;-)
As I mentioned earlier on the blog our nanny is on vacation this week so I had Ava for the week. I must say we did a lot of fun things! [Read more…]
Hello!
Hope everyone’s Friday is going well and that you are anticipating a fun-filled weekend. đŸ™‚ Thought I’d share how my Friday is going thus far.
The day began with Ava’s 15-month pediatrician appointment – which is so hard to believe. I have said this countless times before and I will keep saying it, time is flying by with this kiddo. Pretty soon we’ll be celebrating her 2nd birthday…but lets not get ahead of ourselves. Ava generally doesn’t like going to the pediatrician (who can blame her). While she is fine in the waiting room, the second she sees her doctor she starts crying. Well today she was great. She let me chat with her doctor for about 15 minutes sans crying….until it was examine time, followed by a shot. Le sigh. She took the shot like a champ though! [Read more…]
Hello friends!
Ah summertime…who can believe that it is already June?! Crazy – pretty soon we’ll be busting out our Christmas trees and holiday decorations… but lets not get ahead of ourselves!
Today I thought I would share some ideas on how to still have an amazing summer in D.C. without going broke since summertime is such a busy time for everyone – parties and BBQs to go to, trips to take, countless fashion trends to buy, baseball games to go to, concerts, dinners, weddings, the list goes on and on. There are a lot of great places to see without spending a ton of money! And if you’re curious, check out Personal Capital’s wealth management tools to learn a little more about how to be frugal and save more! [Read more…]
Happy rainy, dreary Tuesday folks! (If you are in the DMV area). Oh well, I guess April showers bring May flowers right? đŸ™‚ [Read more…]
Happy Tuesday folks!
Hope everyone is doing well. Today’s Tuesday Tidbits is this past weekend’s recap. It’s ironic, while it seems like our weekends should be winding down with Ava’s impending arrival, they seem to be busier than ever. Guess we’re just trying to cram everything in before she arrives!) [Read more…]
Hello friends and happy Monday!
Most of this weekend was all about life in Chesapeake Beach. đŸ™‚ [Read more…]
I’m not sure why this is, but it’s been awhile since I have been out to brunch. I LOVE brunch so this realization was a tad weird to comprehend. I was able to break my dry spell of no brunch this past Sunday when my friend Lindsay and I met for a fun + working brunch at Boxcar Tavern in Eastern Market.

1. Tommy, Violet and I were due for another Theodore Roosevelt Island visit this past weekend. [Read more…]
Acqua Al 2 is a fine Italian restaurant in Eastern Market (a little past Barracks Row). The original Acqua Al 2 sprung up in Florence, Italy in 1978. Â In 2006, doors were open to the first international Acqua Al 2 in San Diego and in 2010 the Acqua Al 2 concept was brought to the Washington, D.C. area. The D.C. restaurants uses the exact same menu as the original. [Read more…]
