Ralph Breaks The Internet ~ A Sugary Sweet Sequel

It is so good to welcome back my favorite video game characters, Ralph and Vanellope to the big screen! In the sequel to Wreck It Ralph, Ralph Breaks The Internet delivers the laughs, a sweet message, and a fun time at the movies! This is the perfect family movie to see over the holiday weekend.  In Ralph Breaks the Internet, Ralph and his BFF, Vanellope von Schweetz leave the arcade they call home in search of something new and exciting. Ralph loves his routine the two have, but Vanellope is growing tired and antsy doing the same thing day in and day out…. Read More

Your Dream Home Awaits in Brambleton!

I had the best time playing house in a gorgeous model home right in the heart of a special community. Have you heard of the beautiful Brambleton community? Brambleton is where the city connects with the suburbs. There has been an evolution in American community design over the past 20 years, and one community in the DC Metro region has been a trendsetter. That trend is for urban-style communities in more relaxed, suburban locations, and Brambleton in eastern Loudoun County, Virginia, is a nation-leading example of how this new way of living is changing the American landscape – and Americans’ lifestyles….

I have had lunch and brunch here, and they are not to be missed. This is a great location for date night, celebrations, or… Read More

Reston Limousine + 4 Reasons You Need A Chauffeur!

I love living in the DMV. There is always something fun going on! That is certainly a perk of living in a high traffic area. We have a ton of amazing shows, concerts, and live events happening all year round. Part work and part love for the arts, I am going to at least two major events per month. As much as I love a night on the town, let’s face it, driving there and back is nowhere near as enjoyable. This is when a professional car service would totally come in handy right? Introducing, Reston Limousine! I was so… Read More

Take A Time Out For You at Pike & Rose +Giveaway!

Sometimes we just need a “me” day. I know I need them more than I take them, that is for sure! I was beyond thrilled to spend the morning at the Red Door Salon & Spa at Pike & Rose. This is a newly opened location and it is a beautiful facility, just waiting for your day of relaxation. Being that this was days before I headed to the beach, I opted for a Gel Manicure and an Escape Pedicure. Both were long overdue, and it was just what the doctor ordered.

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

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. 😍✨
