Buzzing in and around Washington D.C. and pretty much everywhere else.
…No I’m not pregnant. 🙂
First of all, happy Friday! I’m sure I’m not the only one who is happy it’s the weekend. Before it officially commences, I wanted to let you all know that I have finally decided to put a passion project of mine into action. [Read more…]
It’s Tuesday! 🙂 [Read more…]
Happy Monday everyone!
As with all weekends this one past by very quickly, but as it was a weekend filled with fun activities and some relaxation that’s a win. It also means that our Dominican Republic trip is right around the corner – we leave Wednesday morning!
A couple highlights of the weekend included a happy hour we hosted at our house on Friday evening and a sailing adventure my friend Hannah and I went on Saturday afternoon. [Read more…]
First and foremost my thoughts and prayers go out to all of the people affected by the terror shooting in Orlando. The fact that the shooting happened on my birthday has been surreal and strange. Sending lots of love and light to everyone.

On Saturday afternoon I completed my months-long responsibilities of being the hostess- with- the- mostess! My mom and I threw my longtime friend, Arlene, a bridal shower at my house. She and her fiance, Seyla, will be getting married over Labor Day weekend in the Dominican Republic! Yours truly is the Matron of Honor and Ava is the Flower Girl. 🙂
While mom did most of the cooking, I was in charge of the invitations, the decorations, the games, the dessert, and drinks. [Read more…]
Just seeing Tiffany smiling and glowing during her baby shower on Saturday was enough to know that the shower Christina and I co-hosted was a huge success! I personally loved seeing the soon-to-be-grandmas enjoying themselves too! Such a sweet, precious time for families – welcoming babies into their lives. [Read more…]
Hello! [Read more…]
Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!
Yesterday Tommy and I hosted a fall party at our house. While we were a tad early in celebrating fall since the first official day of fall is September 23rd, we certainly lucked out with the weather – it felt very fall-like indeed with cool and crisp air. 🙂 [Read more…]
Hello and good afternoon! Today has been a day folks…all good things, just busy at work.
This week’s Tuesday Tidbits is a bit of playing catch-up (moments that piled up as I was writing about my trip out West for several days) and a few current things. Enjoy! [Read more…]
On Saturday Tommy and I hosted a housewarming party for our friends and family. We were blessed with amazing weather on Saturday – mid 60s, so our guests were able to hang out on our deck and all the kiddos that came with their parents had a blast running around in our backyard, exploring our little creek, and playing in the mud!

I cannot write anything without saying that my deepest thoughts and sympathies are with all of those effected by the elementary school shooting in Newtown, Connecticut. My heart keeps breaking. I know those precious babies and educators lost are angels up in heaven now. Peace be with everyone.

As mentioned before, every year since 2006 when I moved to D.C., I have always hosted a holiday party in some fashion.
My co-hosts may have been different – in 2006 when I lived with two roommates I convinced them how fun it would be to have a party in our apartment and then beginning in 2007 – when Tommy and I moved in together – we began hosting annual holiday parties. My brother lived with us in 2007 & 2008 so he joined in on the co-hosting Christmas spirit as well those years. It is a tradition that we, our friends, and family look forward to and one that I hope to keep continuing for many, many years to come. [Read more…]
