A little while ago, my kids were playing outside and discovered a moth in our front yard. The kids ran inside to tell me about the moth. Finding insects and little critters outside is pretty common occurance, and nothing to get all excited about, I thought. And then I saw the moth. Yes, THIS moth…
Family Fun Night With Shrek & Friends
OK, usually the word bombarded has negative connotations, but this time it’s completely positive…. I feel like I have been bombarded with the most amazing opportunities lately.

Look at the Stars – Photostory Friday/GMYBS
This has been a rough week. First, Susan Niebur, my friend and fellow DC-area blogger died on Monday. Her passing was not a surprise.

October 2011 East Coast Snow Storm – Wordless Wednesday
The freak snow storm that hit the East Coast last weekend was quite the exciting news around the Washington DC suburbs. We’ve lived here for nearly 14 years and have never had snow this early in the season. We comment every year that we’re either in shorts or winter coats for Halloween…but we’ve NEVER had…
Halloween 2011 in Washington D.C.
Last weekend, while I was at Blogalicious, I shared lunch with two wonderfully delightful women from Living Social. As a mom working from home, I love when I can find deals for my family….especially when I don’t have to leave my home to get them. Yesterday, Living Social released some survey results on Halloween trends…
Autumn Sunsets…Ahh! PSF – GMYBS
I haven’t been enjoying this beautiful time of year as much I should lately. Typically stuck behind my computer all day, I am missing some of the most beautiful scenery the Washington DC area has to offer. Luckily, last weekend I was able to take a leisurely walk at sunset around my hotel on the…
