Put the YOU in community and give back this season

Here is your guide to holiday giving programs in and around Northern VA  this year. I’ve included service projects as well as donation drives.

If you are looking for ways to “help Santa” as we say at my house this time of year, any of the excellent community organizations on this list would love to recruit you.

Review: Disney on Ice Presents Frozen!

- by Meghan - Leave a Comment

Disney on Ice presents Frozen surprised me by being even MORE visually spectacular than other Disney on Ice presentations I’ve seen. From the incredibly detailed costumes to the incredibly vibrant color palette, the show was eye candy from start to finish.
