Note: I was invited to attend the Washington DC Premiere of ‘White House Down’ at AMC Georgetown and had the chance to meet the stars of the movie, but all opinions are my own. I mean, would you turn down the opportunity to have Channing Tatum, Jamie Foxx, Joey King, and Maggie…
Medieval Times – Amazing Entertainment for the Whole Family
Note: We were given tickets to Medieval Times Dinner and Tournament in Maryland (just outside of Washington DC) for our family. All thoughts and opinions – and photos – are my own. As any mother knows, it is tough to find activities that cater to multiple kids of varying ages. If we take the…
National Gallery of Art {DC Field Trip} #PSF Give Me Your Best Shot
One of the best things about out of town visitors is the opportunity to be a tourist in my hometown…and I must say that I’ve got one of the best hometowns for touristy stuff. Last year, when my mother-in-law visited, we spent a day at the Smithsonian’s Museum of Natural History. This week, we…

Spring Has Sprung – #PSF Give Me Your Best Shot

Last week we were still running the heater, and this week we’re sweating in 80+ degrees. Last week, there were no blossoms on the trees in the neighborhood. This week, the blossoms are everywhere….

Walgreens Flagship Store Grand Opening in Washington D.C.
When I think of Walgreens, I think of a neighborhood drugstore chain – a place I can stop any time of the day to grab some much-needed medicine, a snack, or a replacement lipstick. When I was invited last week to cover the opening of the new Walgreens Flagship store in Washington D.C. I was…
Sisters – Give Me Your Best Shot #PSF
Last weekend was one of the best weekends I’ve had in a long time. I admit I was a little stressed going into it – there was so much I had to fit in to one day. A baptism, a birthday party, a photo shoot, and a dinner to top off the night. CandyMan was…
Michelangelo’s David Apollo – Wordless Wednesday
We were surprised during this past weekend’s stop at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. to catch Michelangelo’s David Apollo on the next to last day of its loan to the Smithsonian. Although David was rather small and unspectacular, it was pretty amazing to see a little piece of history. The Smithsonian is…
