I didn’t get all that much time to see the sights during my 3-day stay in Washington D.C. this week….As a resident of the Washington D.C. metro area, I didn’t think I needed to “play tourist” during my Shot@Life trip, but I couldn’t help taking a few shots. The Shot@Life crew kept us very busy,…
2013 Shot@Life Champion Summit
Last night, my son’s scout troop headed to our city’s Town Hall to meet with the mayor and pass off a requirement for a citizenship badge. As I was driving him to his meeting, I asked him how much he knew about what I had been doing for the last 3 days. He knew I…
100 Congressional Offices Visited – Wordless Wednesday
Monday 2/11/13 was an incredible day. Together with over 100 women and men – bloggers, pediatricians, partner organizations, students, business owners – my group of 7 Maryland women walked up and down and back and forth on Capitol Hill, meeting with as many of our local Congressmen as we could. At the end of the…

Waiting…for #Sandy
It’s raining this morning. A hurricane is coming. But we still have power. When I went to bed last night (on a blow up mattress in the basement, surrounded by kids), I fully expected to find the power out when I woke up. I also expected to sleep in this morning, since school is canceled…
Autumn – Every Leaf a Flower – Wordless Wednesday
I loved this Autumn quote. It was perfect for these shots that I caught on my phone this week: Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower. ~Albert Camus * Photos taken on my HTC One S during this morning’s walk. Linked up to Wordful Wednesday, Wordish Wednesday, and Wordless Wednesdays all…
Day of Service Maryland 2012 – Wordless Wednesday #Linky
This past weekend was a state-wide Day of Service and guess who volunteered to head up a bunch of activities? Yep. We did. Or should I say…CandyMan did. The rest of us happily went along with it. Our main activity was creating and running a bunch of carnival games. Luckily, the weather was gorgeous and…

Michelle Obama Speaks at Disney’s Magic of Healthy Living Press Conference
There are a few benefits to living in the Washington DC area, including (but certainly not limited to) exclusive invitations to breakfast press conferences with Disney’s CEO Robert Iger and First Lady Michelle Obama. Yeah, I don’t want to brag too much…but that might have been the best breakfast invitation ever. If you know anything…
Smithsonian National Zoological Park – #WW
A few weeks ago, when my brother and sister in law were in town, we spent a day at the National Zoo in nearby Washington DC. The day was perfect, the animals cooperated, and we had a blast. And there were 9 very tired Franklins at the end of the day. What are your favorite…
