Did You Wear Green?

I picked out my outfit for today, last night. A cute little DKNY brown colored Winter dress. When I woke up this morning at 4:25 a.m. I turned on Fox 5 News as I always do. That's when I was reminded that it was Saint Patrick's Day. Then came the decision, should I change my outfit to add a touch of green or should I wear the dress that will be too hot to wear tomorrow because temperatures will hit 70 degrees? I figured I would join in the spirit of St. Patrick's Day even though I am nowhere close to being Irish. I broke out the hot iron and began pressing my green sweater.

After getting dressed and while preparing to walk out of the door, I realized that none of the news anchors were wearing green. Of all people, they represent the community! Not even a green button - I guess they all forgot. I figured I would continue on with the spirit and walked out with my touch of green. Upon arriving at work it was immediately clear that I was the only one wearing green. I guess people just don't put in a little effort to wear something just for fun.

To those of you that are wearing green today on Saint Patrick's Day - the luck of the Irish to you. Those who didn't, I hope you get pinched all day!

10 Great Birthday Party Places for Kids in the Washington DC Area

So it happens to me every year, actually twice a year since I have two boys. I wait until the last minute to start planning because I have no idea where to hold their birthday parties. If you are like me, you prefer to keep people out of the house. For someone like me it is easier to pay someone to set-up, host, entertain and clean-up. That way, everyone can pack up and go home without a hassle. While searching online I found a host of unique places that just never come to mind when I'm trying to figure what to do for the kids. These are in no particular order but I went ahead and compiled a list of my top 10 favorites within the DC, MD and VA (DMV) area.

Bride's or Groom's Name First on Party Favors

When you are planning a wedding there is a lot more to worry about than just ordering your supplies and decorations. Just like every step of the wedding, there are rules of etiquette on wording for the bride and groom's name. So you may be wondering what name format to use on your party favors , wedding décor, invitations, etc. Is it the Groom's name or the Bride's name first? First and foremost, I must mention, it is your wedding and your day, so you can do whatever you want to. However, tradition or custom states a particular order as to whose name goes first. American custom or tradition states the name of the bride precedes the groom's name on any printed items. So if you are known as "Brian and Sarah", your napkins in this case will be "Sarah and Brian", with Sarah obviously being the bride. The same applies if you are using initials or a monogram . So again, you are S&B. When adding names to party favors, supplies and deco
