My dear friend Carey bravely drove through the Occupy DC camp grounds on one of of the coldest days of the year to eat lunch with me! Her braveness was rewarded by a hot and steaming bowl of moules and frites at St. Arnold’s, a small Belgium pub right in the heart of DC. Every [...]
According the Mayan calandar this past New Years may have been the last one ever celebrated. Rob and I decided to keep things low key and low cost so we could save our money for canned goods and hunting gear once the apocalypse comes. We had a few of our closest friends and family come [...]
I am embarrassed to say that I declined an invitation to Adrienne Weber’s eighth grade sleepover birthday party because a girl told me that her house was in the “ghetto” and that they did not lock their doors at night (all false BTW). LUCKILY, I came around my snobby ways and slowly infiltrated Adrienne’s inner [...]
Over the weekend, my friend Andy set up a day trip with a few friends to help sort presents at the Salvation Army. It was so much fun. Not even in the “this is kind of boring but I feel good giving back to the community fun” but actual fun-fun! Let me count the ways: [...]
This weekend was non-stop munching, brunching, relaxing and catching up with friends…both old and new. <3 My famous broccoli and ham quiche. Lauren’s red velvet cupcakes with cream cheese frosting Cinnamon swirl bread a la Feisty Fatale Fresh beignets from my favorite Arlington eatery, Bayou Bakery

Happy birthday to Andrea from The Real Housewives of Northern Virginia. Not only is she mother to the cutest three-year old boy ever she also whips up a mean funfetti cake. Here is a photo of us celebrating her birthday at Top Golf over the weekend…
The Wii has been a saving grace in the Suburbanette-Suburbanbro household. On cold wintery days, we rely on it to stream “Lost” on Netflix and to break a sweat with epic “Just Dance” battles. That is why I was SUPER excited when Brand About Town contacted me about hosting an over-the-top Wiii ice cream party [...]
Rob and I love dressing up for Halloween (or any other occasion for that matter)! Here are a few of my favorite looks from throughout the years… Rob makes a very believable Guido. He is wearing my little sister’s sunglasses and bronzer for the full GTL effect. This was Girl’s Night Out at the famed [...]
Goodbye Jaleo*! With its beautifully textured walls, sparkling cava sangria and outdoor patio my new favorite tapas joint is Bodega in Georgetown. My cousin Karelle and I sharing a paella lunch with lobster, clams, mussels, and prawns in it. Amber and I enjoying a glass of refreshing cava sangria on a warm summer night. *Just [...]
