After a whirlwind of a camping trip that I can’t seem to stop blogging about, my dad came into town, followed by a short visit by my sister and her two kids. Rather than stay home in the air conditioning, we opted to take the group of 7 kids to the Dulles Air and Space…
Happy 4th of July!
Independence Day is one of my favorite holidays! Why? Because I LOVE the USA! (Plus, the fact that the kids don’t expect candy or presents when they wake up on the morning of July 4th is a HUGE plus now that I’m a mom) We woke up early this morning to attend the annual 4th…
80’s Costume Party with Momz Share
I’m usually not the stand-out, adventurous type, but apparently I’ll do just about anything for my local blogging friends. On Saturday, I headed north to the latest Momz Share event with a few of my favorite local bloggers. The theme was the 80s, and I made an attempt at going for the early 80s look…
Child Hunger Ends Here
There have been plenty of times in my life as a mother when I have wondered where money for milk or bread was going to come from. But somehow, thankfully, something has always fallen into place and I’ve had food to feed my kids. We’ve had challenges, but we’ve also been greatly blessed. Not every…
Where Are the Blossoms? PSF – GMYBS
After a morning blogger event in DC, I joined a few of my local blogger friends for a quick drive down to the National Mall to see the last of the season’s cherry blossoms. Note: no drive to Downtown DC can be considered “quick.” In fact 5 miles in DC will usually take about 30…
Washington DC Cherry Blossoms
I was faced with a dilemma this morning. The kids were out of school, and several of my friends had planned a trip to take all of our kids to DC for the annual Cherry Blossom Festival. I wanted to go. Three of my kids really wanted to go (three of my kids have best…
Creating Family Memories
All too often, when there’s a day off school (especially in the Winter), my kids and I sleep in, watch a movie or two, and (maybe if we’re lucky) bake some goodies together. Today, in honor of President’s Day, and in an effort to create some memories with my kids, I decided to take advantage…
The Man in the Sand – PSF
The other day, I posted about the trip that my kids and I took to the National Harbor to see ICE at the Gaylord National Resort. Since there were so many pictures, I didn’t do the beach shots justice. (When I say beach shots, remember that it was around 30 degrees outside) Apparently, this enormous…
Ice at the Gaylord National Resort
I don’t even know where to begin in describing my weekend. I was tempted to make this a truly WordLESS Wednesday post, but there are too many things I need to say about our adventure to the National Harbor. A few weeks ago, two friends invited the whole family to see something called “Ice” at…
Photography Tips for Rainy Days
Today’s quick photography tutorial is inspired by our current wet weather. It has been raining here for the last 2 days, and after the dry spell we’ve had for the last little while, it has been quite enjoyable (albeit quite WET). The rain inspired me to start my regular photography tips back up. After a…
