I have not read yet...but.... DC area ladies, yummeecookee tallb sing2phins or anyone else in the know. I have a few hours to kill this afternoon before I meet a friend for dinner. What is a must see? For reference I am staying in Sterling, VA. And flying out of Dulles tomorrow. I’ll defer to tallb or Sing. Sterling is really far out for me. It’s a good 45min drive from DC, Are you meeting your friend in DC or in VA? If I were in Nova for the day, I’d prolly kill time at Tyson’s Corner, which is a good shopping area.

FFFC: When I had first my kid with DH, I had no idea what I was doing with sunscreen. Both my oldest and I get really dark in the summer, so I would only ever use it if we were going to be out all day. Even then it was probably the wrong SPF and I'm sure I never used enough. When my first pasty baby came along, he got super pink the first couple times I used my SPF 5 or whatever. So, then I went overboard and bought the highest SPF I could, which was like a paste. I didn't know to rub it in, so he walked around all streaked with white looking like a paper mache project gone wrong, until the first time my H joined us at the pool and told me to rub it in. I probably go overboard but nobody has burned yet. Mineral based SPF 50 or 70 and both rash guards and hats wth SPF, too.

One of my HS friends is hawking Younique on FB. It's about how you would typically expect MLM FBing to go with a gazillion annoying posts and lots of CAPS and !!!!! She shared a post showing her leg and at first I was like "okay..." and didn't realize that both legs were in the picture side by side but one side had bronzer on and the other was about as white as the sheets in the background so I didn't even see it. I have to say, that picture did make the product look good for those who care about bronzer. I embrace my pastiness. For outdoor sports moms, I've had this on my Amazon wishlist since last summer and I was miserable watching my kids play soccer in 90 degrees. I think I'll get it soon. Quad chairMy friend has 2 older kids in a ton of sports. She keeps that chair in her trunk at all times

That's a safe bet this late in the day - traffic is going to pick up shortly in NoVA so plan for 45 min to get anywhere. Tyson's 1 is the bigger malls, Tyson's galleria is the fancy mall (Neiman, Saks, etc). Ah too bad I don't work right there anymore!

It's a cool air and space museum in a huge hangar. Have fun! Give yourself time to get to Manassas though

I don't think they were as popular when my son was little as they are now. Every once and awhile I would see a kid at the pool and wonder "Why is that kid going in the pool fully dressed?" Now, that's all I buy.

I just checked the fridge to make sure I have everything I need for supper tonight and of course I’m missing one ingredient. Looks like we are taking a trip to the grocery store after nap. This is why it’s annoying for DH to go to the store.

Today the child abusing anti-vaxxers are watching their kids suffer through febrile seizures without taking them to the doctor or giving Tylenol/Ibuprofen.
Somebody better call CPS.

I don't have any of their swimwear but on the whole, I'm not a big fan of their stuff. It's cute but way overpriced given the quality. I got some insanely-priced tights this winter (I had a gift card and promo code) and they started pilling almost immediately. Boo.

Morning. I'm dragging this morning. We didn't have a good night. The guest room gets super cold because of the window, so we had the heat up for my ILs, and our room was super hot. I changed M into just a short sleeve onesie after he kept waking because I think he was too warm. He slept better after that, but I still only got like 4-5 hours of broken sleep. We have teeball practice tonight. I'm thinking of having a date night tonight or tomorrow becuase we need it. We've been roomating (not even a word) hard ever since M2 was born and are so disconnected lately. It's work and kids all day every day. It would be nice to be out without the kids for a change. You should get a space heater for that room or just give them some extra blankets. This. Chase's room is always the coldest but there's no way I'm going to sweat all night, every night. I picked up a cheapie heater from Walmart and it's been amazing.

I like Athleta - the Lululemon designer went to them and upped their game, but also the prices. I shop their sale a lot, but did return a suit last year that didn't fit right.. but I tend to always order the wrong size bathing suits from everywhere.

Thanks ladies! I actually ran into a classmate from this week when checking in and he is going to check out Great Falls so I’m going to tag along with him. Plus there was another guy in our class from that park so he’s going to give us a hook up. Lol.

We are doing well! I'm pumping now. A has no breathing tube or oxygen anymore. He's under the bili lights today and they did a head ultrasound just to make sure there are no bleeds since he had a traumatic birth.
Tomorrow MH will leave early to take C to basketball and then they'll come here so we can spend some good time together!
