We're ROCKIN'!

Metro DC Mom replied to Jenn Champagne's discussion 'Tribe me!' in the group Organic Mommy

I love this idea! My blog is Metro DC Mom. I write 5 or 6 times a week, so I may not manage 3 comments every time, but I'll do my best.

Ghosts of Halloween Past

Many (many!) years ago I took this picture of a friend of mine. It was at a Halloween party at a fraternity at my university. An alum came down and donned the lamest Halloween costume ever, what he called a "Charlie Brown ghost". At some point in the evening, we decided it would be funny to write on him. By the end of the evening, he was deemed "Beta Bridge", a local bridge where everyone painted party announcements, happy birthdays, and even a few proposals.Read…See More

Time with my tribe

I have been incredibly busy lately. I'm not sure I've been this busy before in my life. I'm juggling writing, running, volunteering with two schools and a running group, cub scouts, soccer, normal wife/mom stuff, trying to become a running coach, being the PTA secretary... I'm sure there's more, but those are the things that come to mind right now, in my five minutes before I need to run in another direction. Two things have completely fallen by the wayside lately: reading and time with my…See More

Nicole Kristiana FitzGibbon commented on Metro DC Mom's blog post 'Take A Child Outside Week'

Outside is so important for kids! Thanks for sharing this in your blog. Here's a great article about the importance or recess and the outdoors for our children that I read some time ago. Still holds true. We go biking and walking regularly!…

Take A Child Outside Week

Friday kicked off the "Take a Child Outside" Week. There were a lot of activities around the area, but unfortunately, we weren't able to participate. We were outside for a large part of the weekend, but we weren't exactly communing with nature. Instead, our weekend was filled with sports: my race (got 2nd in my age group!), Shoo's soccer class, Jones' soccer game, and the Nationals' game. I love the fall and I love getting outside and hiking and…See More

We try to make sure we take advantage of those days whenever they happen.Since we were up early for Jones' soccer game, we decided to head into Old Town Alexandria for lunch. Beer Geek and I had won tickets for a monuments boat cruise at an auction last year, so we decided to use those and buy tickets for the boys.(…See More

Metro DC Mom replied to Samantha Jones's discussion 'recommendations for environmentally friendly and safe bottles' in the group Organic Mommy

We use the Kleen Kanteen bottles. I've been very pleased with them. When I want to keep things cold, I have some stainless steel thermoses that will keep things cold for hours. I know there are some BPA free plastic bottles out there, but I…

Running Mommies

Mommies who love to run, workout, talk fitness tips, and share healthy recipes. I'm an ex-collegiate track athlete that can share the tips I've learned along the way, while also being a SAHM to a toddler that also struggles to get my workouts in.
