Noodles & company

After gymnastics on Saturday Gideon and I decided to feed our inner Italian and tried out Noodles and company. Its a franchise that started in Boulder Colorado, their motto: "everything made fresh to order", yummy. I gobbled down my Lemon asparagus linguine in no time flat as did Gideon w…

Pedaling Designs giveaway

My dear friend Rebecca of Pedaling designs has designed this oh so awesome poster for me! That's right she does custom designs of anything your lil heart desires. I chose "Love is kind" because it's our family mantra due to the rough and tumble nature of Gideon! I just LOVE how th…

This place truly holds my heart.

Splitsville

Can't really recall the last time I went bowling, but Splitsville luxury lanes may change everything. This swanky 50's motif lounge with lanes is brand new in Fredericksburg Virgnia, very kid friendly-complete with bumper lanes and great food. Good times, Gideon even won!

Gideon had a specia…
