July 2025

Can you believe half of the year is gone already? I can’t believe it as it feels like time is flying and my kids are getting so big.

In family news, My son, Apollo, graduated from Pre-K this past weekend. In the fall he’s going to big boy school and let me tell you, I cannot wait to save this daycare money….I’m going to be rich rich without that monthly payment come September lol. I am sure you can feel me if you have ever had to pay for daycare before.

Now it’s all about summer fun with fireworks, beaches and pools! This weekend is getting me down with all this rain in the forecast but I will be sure to include some indoor things to do soon! Because either its too hot or raining…seems to be the theme of this summer lately.

Bubble Planet is now in Washington, DC!

Perfect idea for couples or the whole family to explore something new. They have 10 immersive rooms and this is great for all these rainy days!

Free Food for Kids

One of my favorite past times is going out to eat with my parents when I was a kid. This not only gave us a new environment to enjoy food but also it taught me what’s acceptable and not in a public space.

Here are some of the top places who do free meals!
