July 4th is a reminder that the year is halfway done. And as I have said this before, I can't believe how time flies by so fast - and this year proved to be no different. With this in mind, I decided to take advantage of this long holiday weekend and spend it with my family.
As each day passes, I am reminded on how kids grow up so fast. In my personal life, I have learned to
slow down. Slowing down allows me to acknowledge and truly cherish the moments I share with my son, who means the world to me. The moments we share together are priceless - when we giggle together, when he gives me a hug and a kiss, the times we do puzzles together, or how we share the same love for popcorn and smoothies! All these moments and more I have learned to pause and take them in, bookmarking them in my mind and heart so that I will never forget those precious times.
This past weekend, despite my tall list of to do's and never decreasing workload, I decided to spend the majority of it with my son - mommy & son day. Instead of working in my office on a Friday, we went to the neighborhood pool and park. And after having a great time, we crashed out for a long snooze. After a lengthy nap, we ended the day with dinner, a movie, then watched the never ending fireworks from our building.
The following day was the DC MEETMarket. And though work-related, my son was by my side the whole day - with the amazing help of my awesome and supportive husband, of course! For the month of August, we hosted a Summer Cookout celebrating Independence Day! With a special BBQ from Kingston Seoul, gelato by Dolcezza, root beer by Thunder Beast, and live art by Superwaxx / No Kings Collective, we had a great market day with family and friends gathered to enjoy the rest of their long weekends. Our market-goers enjoyed the day with festive patriotic decorations and entertainment by Lady Hatchet, Merry Toddlers More, and DJ Natty Boom, presented by Rock-n-Romp.
Special thank you to our sponsors and partners this month -

The long holiday weekend ended on high note, and I hope everyone had a lovely, festive, and safe time with their friends and family!
