Love With Food

There are plenty of great food subscription boxes out there, but one really grabbed my attention recently. I heard of Love With Food and knew I had to check it out for myself. What is Love With Food, you ask? Love With Food helps you discover new organic or all-natural snacks delivered to your door every month. Subscription membership starts as low as $7.99/month! Every month, Love With Food members will receive a curated box of unique, hard-to-find tasty snacks, which varies, based on seasonal themes.

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

Peter Pan 360~ A Must See Show!

  Last night my family and I entered the big white tent that currently resides at Tyson’s Corner Center. We quickly discovered this is not your average play, or circus tent for that matter. This spectacular show takes place in a 360 tent with an automated set and computer generated imagery. It is like a live action 3D show! To say my family and I were blown away is an understatement.

NoGii~ Gluten Free Solutions For Healthy Families

Do you or someone you know live a gluten free lifestyle? Or maybe you are just interested in eating healthier for the health of it? Either way, if you have not heard of NoGii or Elisabeth Hasselbeck, you are about to! Gluten is “a substance present in cereal grains, especially wheat, that is responsible for the elastic texture of dough. A mixture of two proteins, it causes illness in people with celiac disease.” Even people who do not have celiac disease opt for a gluten free lifestyle for healthier living. NoGii is a line of gluten free, high protein products created… Read More

Inside Out~Delivers All the Feels!

I had the privilege of attending the Inside Out All Access Event this past Tuesday night. If you are going to see 1 movie this summer with your family, make it this one! First let me tell you how awesome of a job that Fathom Events does at putting fun events like this together! We felt so special wearing our exclusive lanyards all night 🙂 Not to mention sitting in the comfiest recliners at Regal Cinemas. We felt like we were getting the star treatment, and we were, everyone in that theater was! Seeing a movie before it comes out is always fun,… Read More

Summer at Carrigan Farms is a ton of fun for the whole family! 🤗

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
I Knew It, I Knew You 🫶🩵 Seeing our favorite toys I Knew It, I Knew You 🫶🩵

These characters, little giggles, little smiles… bring back the best memories! 

Because some stories don’t end… they just grow up with us. 💫💙 To infinity and beyond. 💙💫

The @breadwinnermovie starring @natebargatze and @ The @breadwinnermovie starring @natebargatze and @mandymooremm is a relatable and hilarious family comedy parents will definitely connect with. 🎬❤️

📺 Check out my interview with Nate & Mandy as we chat all about the film, family life, and balancing it all behind the scenes! 👏

The humor is family-friendly and the film has a very nostalgic feel of classic family comedies while still feeling current and relatable for today’s parents! See it in theaters this weekend! @sonypictures

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!! 💕
