Homestead Farm 15604 Sugarland Rd. Poolesville, MD 20837 Recorded Message: 301-977-3761 http://www.homestead-farm.net/ HomesteadFarmEmail@gmail.com Saturday morning, we made another visit to Homestead Farm to pick some peaches. I love that Homestead is 20 miles outside the Beltway and only takes us about 35-40 minutes to get there. First we had to get some obligatory pictures…...
I got a handful of these Stainless Steel Condiment Prep Cups from Crate and Barrel ages ago. Like, pre-kids, with visions of concocting my own Melting Pot fondue masterpiece at home, complete with a bevvy of sauces. That never happened, and these cups languished from lack of use for years, until my kids got...
Last year, I bought this lunchbox for my daughter, when she was starting kindergarten. It was being sold through the PTA as a fundraiser and it looked pretty good on paper. A year later, with another kiddo slated to start kindy, I began to revisit the lunchbox options. The old lunchbox wasn’t bad, but,...
This past week, I had my kids enrolled at “Camp Straight Street“, a day camp run by Cherrydale Baptist Church. I’m familiar with the church since I’m involved in their mom’s group so I was excited to see them offering this program this year. I was looking for an all day camp to give...
After relaxing for a week with the Grands, it was time to head out for our annual “Fun Fest” camping trip to Buggs Island, aka John Kerr Lake Resevoir. Buggs Island is Virginia’s largest lake, with over 50,000 acres of fresh water and 800+ miles of shoreline. It’s owned and maintained by the Army...
Last Sunday, we made a date to meet up with old friends and check out the Flying Circus Air Show in Bealetown, VA. Since our group is scattered across Northern Va, Fredericksburg and Culpeper, the aerodrome, which is 14 miles south of Warrenton, was the perfect location for a rendez-vous. It took us a...

Usually, we do a big backyard party for Sam’s birthday each June. I tend to go all out (see the Race Car, Frog, and Construction parties for example) and this year, I just wasn’t feeling it. I didn’t have the energy to do the big birthday ‘do so I decided to make a deal...
I love getting a live Christmas tree and love the idea of going to a cut-your-own tree farm and hand selecting the perfect tree. However, I have a particular idea about what the perfect tree should look like, and it’s typically not found at any of the tree farms in our area. I have...
Wendy turned six a little before Thanksgiving, and to celebrate, we had a birthday party for her and some kindergarten friends at a local Paint-Your-Own Pottery place. In years past, I have done elaborate themed parties, both at home and in rented spaces, and I was ready to take it down a notch. The...
