My family and I had a great time at this year’s Prince William County Fair! It is hard not to enjoy a beautiful summer night, filled with the laughter of those around you. My family and I loved indulging in some fried oreos and watching our kids laugh and squeal in delight as they rode traditional fair rides. There was something for all of us to do and take part in. The magic show and animals were also a huge hit with my family! Fun rides, tasty treats, amusing shows, great local vendors, what’s not to love?! If you get… Read More
SweetLeaf Water Drops
Do you ever find it hard to consume your 8 glasses of water a day? I know I sure do! I love to drink tea, soda, and coffee, but when it comes to water, I am always looking for ways to jazz it up.

The Capital Wheel
My family and I love the National Harbor. It is a frequent hangout spot for us. There are so many great shops and restaurants at the Harbor and one wheely cool attraction 🙂 This past weekend my family and I ventured up into the 180′ tall wheel that takes residence at the National Harbor and took in the breathtaking view! It is a must see for the whole family. You feel as though you are slowly gliding through the air, round and round as you take in the sights. From the wheel you can see the Washington Monument, U.S. Capitol, Alexandria, Prince George’s County,… Read More

Loosening The Reins
Last weekend we took our kids to our local amusement park. Nothing new, we go almost every other weekend. We love riding rides, seeing shows, and enjoying the beautiful Virginia summer. What made this trip different was my middle child, my most cautious child, decided he would brave a roller coaster! My first thought was ok sure, not thinking he would actually go through with it. Little did I know he meant what he said.
Our Star Wars Party
Last month I threw my son a Star Wars-themed party for his 9th birthday. It was a blast! Party planning is a passion of mine. I love any excuse to throw a party 🙂 Whether it’s for 10 or 50 people, I always like to make my get-together fun! There are so many creative ideas out there – the options are endless. My son had a great time with his friends, and to see the smile on his face was priceless! Here are some of my tips & tricks for throwing a Star Wars party.
Date Night~ Why I Will Always Make Time For It
A few weekends ago my husband and I had a chance to get away. Thanks to the grandparents, we were able to go kid free! Which, in parent terms, means “You are going to have a restful, relaxing, and enjoyable weekend!” Woo hoo! Spending a few days uninterrupted alone with my husband reminded me all the more of the wonderful partner I chose. It reminded me of how much I really do love my children. It definitely reminded me that I love eating at a restaurant where they don’t even have crayons in the building! Soaking up the sun, listening… Read More
