First impressions are everything. In this situation I emplore you to ignore the first impressions and give the Science + You exhibit a chance. When you first walk into the Science + You exhibit, managed by Living Classrooms of the National Capital Region and underwritten by the Abbott Fund, you will immediately notice that it is set-up [Read More]
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]
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! I partnered up with one of my fav mommy bloggers, SuperNOVAMommy, and our boys [Read More]
I always thought of the US Botanic Gardens as a “hands-off” activity. Those beautiful flowers, so fragile-looking, are no match for an inquisitive one-year-old and a 4-year-old who doesn’t know his own strength. So, when we visited recently for their SPROUTS program and to check out the “Orchid Mystique” exhibit, we [Read More]

Because prior to that I found myself getting caught up in those mommy conversations that we all know [Read More]
We’ve always had our favorite fall festivals. However, after recently finding a new favorite museum, I decided to explore a bit more this year and, wouldn’t you know…we found a new Fall Favorite: Gaver Tree Farm’s “Fall Fun Festival.” There’s a Jumping Pillow and slides for all ages, as well as a [Read More]
Who says bigger is always better? Well, maybe bigger is great…but small can be great too! Just ask those of us who visited Weber Farm’s Fall Harvest Festival, the next stop on our Fall Family Fun tour! Weber’s Farm has all of the fun of the other Fall Festivals without all of the crowds! The [Read More]
So, what do you do when it’s October, Harvest Fest/Pumpkin Patch Season, and it won’t stop raining? You improvise! On Thursdays and Fridays in October and November (see website for specific dates), the National Capital Trolley Museum hosts its Pumpkin TrolleyFest! Children can enjoy the model street railway, check out restored [Read More]
Can you believe it is already Autumn? That means it’s time for pumpkin patches and Fall Festivals! There are so many great options in our area and it is hard to choose just one. So…we don’t! We visit as many as we can before the cold weather arrives! Our first stop this year, Pumpkinville at the [Read More]
