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

We Were “Enchant-ed”!

On Sunday night our little family + Ava’s friend Addie and her parents, Kathryn and Matt, checked out Enchant Christmas at Nationals Park. The main attraction at Enchant is The Light Maze. Visitors are set out on a mission to find all of Santa’s reindeer amidst glittering and twinkling lights, sculptures, and more. There is also a Christmas market on the upper level of the baseball stadium, ice-skating, a Kids Zone, a Ms. Claus and Santa Claus dedicated visiting area, and plenty of food and beverage options.

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!

Hope You Had a Great 4th!

Happy Thursday and day after America’s birthday! I must say, even though I am taking today and tomorrow off from work (but probably still checking emails periodically), it does seems weird to me that we had a day off yesterday, but we still have 2 more days until the weekend. [Read more…]

What A Week!

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…]

Weekend Recap & a Morning at Emma’s

Hello and happy Monday gang! Hopefully your Monday is off to a good start.

We had a pretty great weekend, equal parts fun and productive! We spent a lot of quality time with my mom who we hadn’t seen in about a week since she was in Michigan last weekend. [Read more…]

Wegman’s Wonderplace

Good morning!

Hope your Thursday is off to a good start. I began my (early) day with a little run. I wanted to get it in before the heat and humidity took over the day.

Yesterday Ava, her nanny Wendy, my friend Liz and her two kids Mitch & Leah, and I took a little field trip to Wegman’s Wonderplace at the National Museum of American History. [Read more…]

Baseball is Here to Stay in D.C.!

I feel like an ample amount of time has passed where I can talk about them again. Them being, my beloved Nats. (Washington, D.C.’s baseball team). It’s no secret that I was heartbroken (read: pissed) that they lost Game 5 against the St. Louis Cardinals last month in the first round of play-offs, ending their World Series run. They had the game for so long and then something just happened and everything fell apart. The Washington Nationals incredible and some would say, miraculous, season was suddenly over. It was devastating. [Read more…]
