It’s pick-your-own fruit season again; the perfect activity for all ages! Beginning in April, I start to check the websites of my favorite locations to see which is going to open first. Inevitably, it turns out to be Shlagel Farms! Unlike most pick-your-own fruit fields, Shlagel Farms only grows one fruit, strawberries! On our recent [Read More]
I am so excited about Chick-fil-a’s mother-son “Date Knight.” Initially, it was simply because I loved the idea of taking my 4-year-old son out to a location without his spicy little sister (and the name was cool too!) But, the more I learned about the actual event, the more my excitement grew! So, you [Read More]
Today, in our capacity as a homeschooling family, we were invited, along with other area schools to a sneak peak of the USA Science and Engineering Festival. What is a sneak peak? Well, as far as I can tell, it’s when 2000 instead of 3000 of the exhibitors are present! And, it was hardly noticeable! [Read More]
There are a few annual events that I really look forward to in the DC Metro Area and Maryland Day is one of them! Last year was our first time attending the University of Maryland, College Park’s Maryland Day and it probably set the stage for my interest in giving families the inside scoop on [Read More]
It’s supposed to rain tomorrow which means it will be a GREAT day to head to the final pre-planned event to ”Welcome Discovery.” Earlier in the week, I posted the full schedule so we decided Friday would be the best day for us!

But, the fun isn’t over! Check out the rest of Discovery’s Welcome Party Events. EVENT LOCATION: All events take [Read More]
When I posted the link for MathAlive on our Facebook page, I acknowledged that I’m a nerd. I fully accept that. And my goal is to make learning so much fun (as my teachers did) that my children choose to be nerds as well! So, when I saw that there was an exhibit at [Read More]
We were all very excited to have a new Wegmans in the area but I never knew how many wonderful children’s resources it would bring. When the excitement started to stir about a Wegmans in Prince George’s County I honestly had no clue what all the hoopla was about. I thought we were really doing something [Read More]
I grew up in the neighborHOOD so let’s just say that ice skating wasn’t something that I was exposed to as a young child. However, I wanted my children to have a different reality. I want them to at least be able to say they tried it, even if they hated it ~ kinda like [Read More]
I’m not much of a bowling person but my mother loves it. So, we thought we’d give it a try. I looked online for bowling alleys in our area, particularly duckpin bowling so that the bowling balls would fit nicely in the children’s hands. There were two options nearby: White Oak Lanes and AMF College Park [Read More]
