Play Kitchen for Our Playroom

My mom has been asking me for months which play kitchen to get the kids. After spending hours researching I have FINALLY made a decision on the Step 2 LifeStyle Dream Kitchen. I unfortunately don't love the look of this one, but the reviews everywhere show the KIDS love this one the most. It has the most bells and whistles and can entertain more than 1 kid at the same time (so Lila and Noah can both play at the same time). It is $140 on Amazon
with free shipping. I will take a video or picture of the kids with it once we have it set up and write my own review! Thanks Nana & Papi!


A Rainy Weekend For DC

I have been so bad about the weekend updates this past winter, but I am back with some ideas for events going on this weekend that looked interesting:

Semi-Annual Sale Children's Equipment Exchange - This is the sale I went to in the Fall. It is sponsored by the parents of multiples who donate all their used and slightly used item. It is just insane in terms of all the parents and kids. If you go be prepared for some pushing, grabbing, etc.....I would recomend leaving the little ones home if you can. Get there early! 9:00 am – 1:00 pm Julius West Middle School651 Great Falls Road, Rockville(one block east of 270 at Falls Road) >http://www.mcpom.org/saleinstructions.php

SHAMROCK FEST Saturday 1-9 p.m. Yes, with more than 40 bands (including headliners the Roots, Train and Carbon Leaf), this music festival is one of the area's biggest, but listening to good music certainly isn't the only reason to check out Shamrock Fest.

Paris Las Vegas Friends and Family Promotion

Rooms starting at $60 on weekdays throughout May. I know there are other hotels that can be had in Vegas for alot cheaper but I really like this hotel....it may be my favorite in terms of rooms, pool, and location. Also please keep in mind that as of right now, Paris does not have the resort fees like the MGMIRAGE properties do which makes this a little bit better deal.

My Crazy Cheescake Factory Hospital Adventure

So yesterday Brian and I had my parents over and a brief time period to run out and have a "romantic lunch" together at the Cheesecake Factory. You will die when you hear what happened....only ME! We decided to split the barbecue chicken salad and the summer rolls. As I took a bite of salad I got that feeling when something went down the wrong pipe. The feeling just kept getting worse and worse and then to the point where I was screaming in pain like a heart attack. My husband attempted the hymlic smacked my back, etc. but my chest pains started getting excruciating. I was rushed in an ambulance to the hospital and given many test, but all looked ok. They gave me many drugs which finally stopped the terrible pain and diagnosed it as esaphagus spasms and that something had damaged my esophagus. Lessons learned from this experience....be careful what may be in your food and don't ever attempt the hymlic or slap someone on their back if their breathing (however, that did not cause the issue)...but in the end....freak things like this can happen at ANYTIME!

So I am asking you all what other places have you seen that are offering these free items if you follow them on twitter? Email me at littlemissfunfinds@gmail.com to share your findings or post them under comments.

Our Family Getaway to Willow Valley - Lancaster, PA

This weekend we took a family trip to meet our friends in Lancaster, PA. It was the perfect distance to meet New York friends (2 hours for us and a little less than 3 for them). I am really excited for future trips to this area because there is just so much to do from amusement parks (Hershey Park & Dutch Wonderland) to great shopping to cool food and Amish Country. We decided to keep it simple for our first time and headed to Willow Valley Resort. They have a winter getaway package that included stay, activies and dinner and breakfast for the entire family for $169. The place is under renovation, so I will have to go again in the Spring to give it a true evaluation. They are being taken over by Double Tree.

My favorite part of the place is they have their own Bakery onsite that is just incredible. It is huge and has sooo many amazing goodies. I am going to gain 10 pounds from everything we brought home. My favorite were the peanutbutter donuts filled with frosting and the cinamon bread that comes with icing to spread. Here is a video I took:

The kids spent their time in the pool. There were 3 indoor pools. We spent most of our time in the baby/kids pool. Noah and Lila had the best time! There were game rooms as well. In the nice weather there are tons more activities such as animals, ponds, playground, crafts and sports.


The meals were buffet style and incredibly kid friendly. Not the best "quality" food.....but they did the trick for me since they had a salad bar for dinner, omelet bar for breakfast and all the amazing baked goods for all meals. With 2 little ones I barely have time to eat when we are out anyway!

My one complaint about the place was the lack of ability to get from area to area with a stroller, but I think that has to do with the renovation.

Also, don't forget to check out the gift shop. Very cute. And check out the grocery store across from the complex to load up on amazing local food stuff for great prices. Overall, it was a great time and I think Noah will be talking about it for weeks!

Sam's Club Produce Tip

My mother in law shared with me an interesting tip for those of you that shop at Sam's Club. Turns out if you do not like a produce item you purchase they will not only return the item and replace it, but they will give you credit equal to the amount of the item. How fabulous is that?

Little Miss Fun Finds Has Been MIA

I want to apologize to my readers for my lack of posting recently. As you all know it has been a LONG week for all of us in the DC area with the double Blizzard. My week was especially LONG since my husband was away for business, a tree fell on our house and I had a major tooth issue. Everything is on track now and I want to wish everyone a belated Valentine's Day! I hope you are all staying warm.

I do want to report on a new restaurant find in Pikesville, Maryland (next to Lenny's). I absolutely love this place. It is called Upper Crust Pizza & Grille. They have gourmet salads, pizza and sandwiches. Their breads are delicious and everything I tasted was so yummy. Prices are unbelievable for the sizes of their dishes. My favorite thing was a chicken and brie sub.

Also, this weekend my husband took my son to a place called Pump it Up. It is a giant room filled with inflatable slides, moonbounces, and obstacle courses. Noah had the best time. It is only $6 a kid and their are multiple locations. Noah took a 4 hour nap that afternoon!!!

Georgetown Cupcake Free Daily Cupcakes

Ok....I have become addicted to the Georgetown Cupcake store now that they are in Bethesda. The other day I accidently figured out that if you follow them on twitter you'll see that each day they post a message with a secret cupcake flavor of the day. They apparently make 100 of the secret flavor, and if you ask for it, you get it for free (while supplies last). I had the most delicious peanutbutter chip one the other day for free. So good!

Thanks Chealsea (the momtourage)!

Aruba Trip Report - Mom & Dad Getaway


I am back from an AMAZING trip with Brian to Aruba. We were lucky enough to get 3 nights away while my fantastic parents watched Noah & Lila. It was so nice to have some alone time together for the first time in a LONG time!


First off I just can't express to you how EASY and AFFORDABLE a trip this turned out to me. We used 35,000 miles each for a direct flight from DC to Aruba which only took 4 hours. We were on the beach within 6 hours door to door basically....I can't even get to the Upper East Side of NYC that quickly :)


We got a great deal (thanks so much Reader Lisa & Jason) at the Aruba Marriott Resort & Casino for $150 a night. The hotel is very nice. It has good restaurants, a nice pool, a good beach section and casino. I had fun playing bingo by the pool and even water aerobics My only gripe about it would be that it is the farthest hotel from the little town area....so you must be up for long walks.


We spent most of our time just lounging at the beach and going out for meals. The hotel has a buffet breakfast which was very yummy and including a smoothie bar. There is a coupon for $5 off the buffet in the I LOVE ARUBA coupon books scattered all over the hotel, so make sure to grab a bunch if you want to do breakfast at the hotel. We also had heard that the RIU hotel, which is an all inclusive resort nearbye, has a deal where you can either do brunch for $20 or all your meals and unlimited drinks for $100 a day. We decided to try the breakfast which was UNBELIEVABLE....it was so big you would die. They had delicious chocolate chip pancakes and a giant smoothie bar as well.


My absolute favorite meal in Aruba was at Madamme Jenette's. Ironically my uncles and aunts were in Aruba so they treated us to this fabulous restaurant. The Almond GrouperAlmond Grouper (a fine Grouper filet in a coat of almonds served with a creamed spinach sauce) is to die for! Seriously one of the best entrees I have ever tasted (thanks Reader Ronnie :)! Here is a picture:


We also had one casual dinner at Pure Beach, which was amazing atmosphere right on the beach. The food was decent...we compared it to what we would get at the Cheescake Factory. Our other dinner was at Gaspirito's . This place is authentic Arubian food. The owner came out and explained to us all the options and allowed us to create a combination plate to try different items. Nothing was excellent, but it was interesting to try the real cuisine. It was the one time on the trip I really felt like I was in another world which is always fun.

I definitely recommend a getaway to Aruba for either a short 3 night trip OR a week trip with a family. The beach is the most beautiful beach I have ever been to...the color of the water is just mesmerizing and the sand is just soft. There are no waves so it is just great for little kids. There are playground all over the beaches. Hopefully our next trip there we will be able to take Noah & Lila.

Lots of Celebrations....Including A Getaway to The Inn at Little Washington

I have been putting together my post from this past incredible holiday weekend. I have so much to share with you all. First off, I have been spending time with my my ADORABLE nephew Joey. He is truly the cutest baby around with big dimples on both cheeks.

Next, this past weekend we celebrated Lila's baby naming. We did a simple service with immediate family. Here is a family picture:


We also celebrated my Mother in Law's 65th birthday this past weekend. My sister in law and I took her away for special weekend to the town of Washington, Virginia. We decided to go to Washington, VA to experience a dinner at The Inn at Little Washington. The Inn at Little Washington is VERY expensive to stay at, so I found an adorable place called the Fairlea Farm http://www.fairleafarm.com/ which is located right near The Inn. Fairlea Farm is a very cute B&B with a working farm. My mother in law is a cow freak, so she loved being able to see cows right outside the window. The views were incredible at the farm. Here is an example:


We stayed in the "suite" which was actually their basement, but it was nice. There was a working fireplace which they set for us at night, a game room, and a queen size bed and 2 singles and also a pull out couch. They charge $230 for the suite and an entire family could easily sleep in it. The owners were wonderful and totally helped us make the most of our dinner experience at The Inn with their tips:

  • Feel free to order 2 first courses or 2 second courses if you like the options better in one grouping.

  • Never accept anything you don't LOVE. They prefer you send something back and give you something you will love instead of you leaving not LOVING your meal.

  • Feel free to ask for a tour of the kitchen.

The stay also includes a delicious breakfast in the morning. Everything is made from scratch an is so yummy and presented beautiful. Totally adds to the foodie trip experience. Here is a picture of our breakfast:





So here is my review on The Inn at Little Washington. It is a total experience. The restaurant is very charming and just feels very special. The service is out of this world. The meal starts off with these tasters and also some delicious bread.




It then proceeding with a first course. I had the Melange of Spicy Big Eye Tuna with Mango, Avacoado, Crispy Shallots and Sake-Yuzu Sorbet. It might have been my favorite dish of the night!


Next was the second course. I ordered again off the first course portion and had the Chilled Maine Lobster in Sherry Vinagrette with Avacado, Grapefruit, and Crispy Lotus Root. Very good. My sister in law had the Macaroni and Cheese with Virginia country Ham and Shaved Black Truffle which was heavan!


They then brought out these mini soups and a cheese brioche which was AMAZING!!!!




For the main meal I ordered the Pepper Crusted Tuna Pretending to be a Filet Mignon . When I tasted it I did not LOVE it, so I decided to exchange it for the Pan Roasted Maine Lobster with Braised Baby Bok Choy in a Fragrant Coconut Sauce Perfumed with Lemongrass. Not only did they do this happily, but they also sent me out a free glass of wine. My new dish was spectacular. I highly recommend ordering it!

I ended my meal with the seven deadly sin sampler which is a sampling of a bunch of desserts and let me say they are not sample size...HUGE. However, if I went again I would recomend getting the dessert my mother in law ordered with was this insane Ice Cream Sandwich with Hot Caramel Sauce. They prepared it with a happy birthday fondant...as well as our menu had a birthday wish for her as well!


At the end of the meal they give you the most darling souvenior. It is a mini size Inn at Little Washington container filled with yummy cookies and candies to take with you.



After dinner we went and toured their kitchen which was just gorgeous. We rolled home after a 3 hour dinner. The cost of dinner is $150 a person for the set menu. It is very pricey, but it is a once in a lifetime type experience for a foodie!


My last piece of advice is to make sure you hit the Inn's Gift Shop in the morning and load up on their delicious cookies and breads.

$10 Off Diapers.com

I am obsessed with www.Diapers.com. I get all my diapers and wipes from them at this point because it is just so much easier than going to Costco. They even sell the Kirkland wipes which are our favorites since they come out easy. Everything is shipped free to your door the next day after you order, so it is just great. If you don't already use www.Diapers.com you are able to take $10 off your first order with code JARA3429.. Definitely do one order with the discount since it will end up being cheaper than going to Target or Costco. They also have tons of other baby stuff too. Trust me, this will make your life so much more relaxed (at least for me who has two in diapers)!!!!
