She did fine in her pack and play overnight. We hung out downstairs with Gloria while Mike went out for bagels for everyone. Here’s Elena coloring with a pencil. I … Continue Reading →

We didn’t travel really in January, so it was mostly day to day stuff with the kiddo and work. But February was a pretty packed month, which ended up being a really good thing, given everything came screeching to a halt in mid-March. :-/ Colonial Williamsburg was having a fashion event, and Gloria and Mike invited us to share a … Continue Reading →

While we were in Pittsburgh right after the holidays, we took Elena to Phipps Conservatory, one of our fav places. They still had Christmas up and it was really fun! Elena wore the little Mickey necklace her Aunt Karen got her for Christmas! They have a little marketplace set up for kids, with all kinds of fake fruits and vegetables … Continue Reading →

Christmas was a really happy time for us, so it’s nice to revisit 6 months ago. When we could be around other people. Last year we did a mall Santa, this time a friend of mine had recommended a Santa pop-up in an Annapolis shopping center. We had happened to have dinner there so we decided to check it out. … Continue Reading →

Back in December, I participated in one of the Cosplay DC events, which was at the Woodlawn Mansion in Virginia. It was tough coming up with what to wear because I’d have an hour drive, maybe no place to change, and no will to do complicated hair and make-up. http://www.woodlawnpopeleighey.org/ This mansion has some interesting history – it was originally … Continue Reading →

For Elena’s second birthday, we… stuck to the model that worked for her 1st birthday! Janine and Ron were still in the same apartment building with access to the lovely club room. They picked up the berry cake from Whole Foods for us (seriously that cake is so good), and instead of Moana, we went with Elena’s current favorite movie … Continue Reading →

Our second full day at Disney had Elena wanting to lounge in her stroller where she snacked on last night’s popcorn. Then it was time to get dressed and get ready to head out for the day! We had splurged on park hoppers this time, so we could hit Epcot and Food & Wine as much as possible. So Epcot … Continue Reading →

In November, right before Elena turned 2, we took a trip to Disney – just a long weekend. We wanted to catch the end of Food & Wine, and had debated picking closer to Halloween, but we thought we hadn’t seen the Christmas decorations in a while…. Then last minute I decided to crazily add on tickets to the Very … Continue Reading →

In November was Stephanie’s annual Pumpkin tea. This year instead of Regency, she went with Bustle era. I do not have a bustle, but I lucked out on Facebook and scored a bustle gown and an 1880s tea gown (bustle era!) that fit me perfectly. I just had to hem them a bit. This gown is specifically from the Truly … Continue Reading →

I’m back for another one in my series “remember when we could go places and be near other people?” This also is a part of my “I’m now 7 month behind in my blogging so it’s good we haven’t done anything or gone anywhere in 3 months” series. So in November, Natasha organized a picnic at Gunston Hall in Virginia. … Continue Reading →

Let us return to a simpler time, a spookier time… well, actually it can’t be much scarier than it is now. Let’s go back to Halloween. Here are some Halloween season pictures I never got around to posting. This was my friend’s porch: I wore both my Kitschy Witch Halloween themed dresses! This one is Sleepy Hollow themed. Love those … Continue Reading →
