Bethesda Marriott~ Newly Renovated & Redesigned!

Being a Marriott rewards member has its perks. When my family and I travel it is always nice to get the special treatment. Ask my kids and they will tell you they felt like rockstars. When we checked into the Bethesda Marriott, we were quickly brought to our King suite. It felt very roomy, even for 5.

teachSTIX~ The Best Way To Learn Sight Words!

Do you have a child who is learning how to read or starting to recognize sight words? Then you need to check out teachSTIX! I received a pack of preschool age appropriate sight words for my youngest child. teachSTIX are reusable educational decals designed to boost a child’s reading skills.

Zootopia~Where Anybunny Can Be Anything!

Imagine a place where tiny bunnies, giraffes, tigers, and animals alike live in peace and harmony…Welcome to Zootopia! A metropolitan city where all animals live, work, and play together! A place where anyone can be anything.

James and The Giant Peach~Bravo!

Recently, my family and I trekked up to Glen Echo Park to see a show at the Adventure Theatre MTC. My family loves live theatre, so we rarely pass on an opportunity to see a live show! Little did we know that this would blow us away, and leave us wanting more!

Ouli~A Must Have App!

I recently dowloaded the Ouli App… have you heard of it? Ouli is your personal concierge. It presents you with 3 personalized choices based on your chosen activity, time, location, and history and preferences. No more wasting time searching through hundreds of results to find what you are actually searching for!

Disney Live! Mickey & Minnie’s Doorway to Magic~ Review

Yesterday our family attended our first ever Disney Live! show. To say we had a good time would be an understatement. We went to Disney Live! Mickey and Minnie’s Doorway to Magic Presented by Stonyfield YoKids Organic Yogurt. The whole family really enjoyed this show from start to finish. As my oldest said when we left, “that went by way too fast!”

Disney On Ice presents Treasure Trove~A Family Review!

Anyone who knows our family knows that we are a Disney family. Any chance we get to experience the Mouse and his friends, we take it! I was thrilled to be invited to Disney On Ice presents Treasure Trove, Presented by Stonyfield YoKids Organic Yogurt! My husband and I kept it a surprise until we walked into the Verizon Center that night. To see our kids’ faces light up was worth keeping the secret 🙂 All three of them began smiling ear to ear and giggling with delight. Before the show even started, it was a hit!

Perfectly Posh~ Honey Honey! Healing Body Crème

Who doesn’t love to pamper themselves every now and then? I know I do! Have you heard of Perfectly Posh? I wanted to share with you all about this great company that provides amazing products. Perfectly Posh shares their products all over the USA through knowledgeable Independent Consultants. One of those consultants happens to be my BFF… so of course I had to try it out!

The Finest Hours ~ A Heroic Tale!

The Finest Hours tell the incredible true story of a breathtaking rescue mission. The most daring mission in the history of the Coast Guard! It takes place in a small town in New England on February 18th, 1952. A horrendous storm struck the New England area towns and all along the Eastern sea, making it impossible for ships to sail through. More specifically, the SS Pendleton, a T-2 oil tanker headed for Boston.

Our Staycation at The Ritz-Carlton~ Tysons Corner

Every year we have some extra time for just laying around the house. We usually combine it with some fun local activities. This year we thought we would make an event out of it and do our version of a staycation. My family was over the moon when we were invited for an overnight stay. The Ritz-Carlton Tysons Corner lives up to its luxurious reputation. From the time we arrived to the time we left, we were given the star treatment.

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. 💙💫

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. 😍✨
