Red, White, & Bleu Burgers with Litehouse Foods

  Most of us grew up reaching for that bottle of room temperature dressing in the condiment aisle. We probably didn’t give much thought to the preservatives in those bottles that kept them on the shelf for so long. There is a better, more delicious way to dress your veggies: with fresh tasting, refrigerated Litehouse dressing. Because real food deserves real dressing. Your family will be asking for seconds and your kids will be eating their veggies in record amounts. Cold is where it’s sold!

MommyCon~Washington DC

MommyCon, a first-of-its-kind natural parenting convention, returns to Washington, DC with a larger than ever event at the Walter E Washington Convention Center on Saturday, July 23rd, 2016. The conference comprises a full day of educational programming on natural and organic parenting methods plus a product showcase hall of 80 exhibitors. Keynote speakers include body positive photographer Jade Beall of the Beautiful Body Project, Jessica Martin-Weber of The Leaky Boob, Jennifer Labit, CEO of Cotton Babies, and acclaimed actress and YouTube sensation Angel Laketa Moore.

The BFG~ 2 Giant Thumbs Up!

There is something so magical to me whenever I see a book I have read come to life on the big screen. You imagine the scenes in your head, voices, and expressions. What takes the cake is when this live version exceeds your expectations. That is what happened when Disney met Spielberg… pure magic!

Flavor Your Life European Olive Oil

I am Italian! So olive oil has always been a staple in our home. We use it in various ways, but one thing’s for sure- quality is everything. My Grandmother would use olive oil in most of her cooking. That passed down to my Father and then myself. One of my kids’ favorite things is when we have pasta with a fresh baguette and olive oil for dipping… yum!

The Magic Blanket

Sometimes falling asleep can be hard to do. My middle child struggles with this on a daily basis. When he was diagnosed with ADHD, we decided to use a mix of natural and medicinal treatments. Finding the right balance for this was difficult. One area that is particularly challenging for him is falling asleep. With lavender essential oil, no screen time, and the discovery of weighted blankets- we found our solution!

Lightlife Smart Dogs

Who loves hot dogs and burgers? I know I do! I love to grill during the summer, and my family loves gobbling up whatever I bring off the grill. I was excited to see what they thought of Lightlife Smart Dogs, the veggie hot dog.

The BFG Prinatble Activities

The talents of three of the world’s greatest storytellers – Roald Dahl, Walt Disney and Steven Spielberg – unite for the first me to bring Dahl’s beloved classic “The BFG” to life on screen. Directed by Spielberg, Disney’s “The BFG” tells the imaginative story of a young girl and the giant who introduces her to the wonders and perils of Giant Country.

See Jumanji at the Adventure Theatre MTC!

Adventure Theatre MTC(ATMTC), brings to the stage its fourth and final world premiere of the 2015-2016 Season with Jumanji, directed by Serge Seiden, director of the Helen Hayes Award winning Charlotte’s Web and Helen Hayes nominated A Little House Christmas. Based on the Caldecott Medal winning book by Chris Van Allsburg, the production will feature a 4-D audience immersive experience.

The Beach~A Favorite Summer Getaway

Every summer since we have had kids, we have gone to Virginia Beach. I love feeling the sand in my toes and seeing blue as far as the eye can see. It is such a family friendly beach. We look forward to it every year! I’d love to share some of my top beach tips & tricks with you!

Finding Dory~Swimming Into Hearts Everywhere!

Let me start off by saying this movie is not just a sequel. It stands alone in telling its own, unique story about our favorite Blue Tang. My kids were so excited to see Dory’s Story, and all of their questions were answered. Finding Dory does not disappoint. As one critic stated, perfect may be an understatement.

There’s something incredibly special about growing There’s something incredibly special about growing up with Toy Story and then getting to watch your own children fall in love with these characters too. 🩵☁️✨

Toy Story 5 Toy captures everything we love about the franchise while bringing a fresh story for a new generation. Seeing more of Jessie’s story was so special! ❤️🤠🐴

What I loved most was the reminder that childhood is found in the simple moments of play. Watching kids rediscover imagination, adventure, and connection in a world full of screens felt especially meaningful.

This movie celebrates friendship, adventure, and the magic that happens when kids PLAY! ✨❤️

Thanks to Disney & Pixar for inviting us to a special screening last night! 🍿🎥 Go see @toystory 5 in theaters June 19th! #ToyStory #ToyStory5 #Pixar #DisneyMagic #disneyfamily

POV: the perfect girls day does exist ✨🕯️💎 Spent POV: the perfect girls day does exist ✨🕯️💎

Spent the day at @districtcandlelab creating our own custom candle and building the cutest charm bracelet at the charm bar with @wearfawne and honestly, it was such a fun experience from start to finish. From choosing scents to picking charms that matched our vibe, every detail felt creative, cozy, and so intentional. 😍✨

If you’re looking for a unique date idea, girls outing, or just a little self-care moment, this is your sign! 💖 My daughter and I had a lovely afternoon together! 🥰

✨ Pro tip: Make a reservation for the candle bar because it fills up fast, especially on weekends!
✨ The charm jewelry bar is walk-in only.
✨ They also offer private event bookings for groups of 10+ which would be SO fun for birthdays, bridal events, or team outings. 

10/10 experience for making memories and leaving with something custom you actually love!! 💕
