Chuck E. Cheese’s Grand Re-Opening

February 5, 2019 by · Leave a Comment

This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Chuck E. Cheese’s. The opinions and text are all mine.

Mr. President has been asking to go to Chuck E. Cheese’s for months. The place where a “Kid can be a Kid”.  

When Chuck E. Cheese’s Fairfax invited us to their Grand Re-Opening Event, I knew we had to go. When I told Mr. President the news, he was beyond excited. We had a “Chuck E. Cheese’s Countdown” calendar in the kitchen.

Even a snowstorm couldn’t stop us from attending the Grand Re-Opening.

Newly redesigned, Chuck E. Cheese’s Fairfax location is one of the first in Northern Virginia to get the “new look”. And let me tell you, it looks good.

 Even the snow couldn’t stop us!

New Look

The new design aims to appeal to both parents and kids – it introduces more restaurant atmosphere for mom, dad, and caregivers, without taking away from the fun and games that made Chuck E. Cheese’s a kid-favorite for 40 years. While there are still bright colors and designs for the kids, the re-design introduces a calmer ambiance with warm wood, neutral tones, and streamlined graphics. Appealing to both parents and kids.

And don’t forget about the light-up dance floor. The kids loved the hourly show featuring Chuck E. Cheese and his friends; the show is interactive and fun. Plus, the light-up floor is just too fun.

I can’t say enough nice things about the staff at Chuck E. Cheese’s Fairfax – from the Manager, to the characters, and attendants, everyone was willing to help and answer questions. (It’s been awhile since I’ve been to a Chuck E. Cheese’s, ha!). Everyone was super friendly.

New Gaming Experience

The kids and I received our All You Can Play (AYCP) passes with 90 minutes of play. We had an absolute blast! From Air Hockey to Pirate’s Hook, the carousel and Stuart Little car ride, Hungry Froggy and Basketball Shoot, there was something for everyone. We never ran out of games to play, and earned as many tickets as we could.

With the AYCP pass kids can enjoy free reign of Chuck E. Cheese’s to play all the games they want in the time frame they choose. What I love most about the AYCP pass is that you don’t have to worry about carrying tokens, and potentially loosing them. The kids can each wear the bracelet (even my youngest at 22 months). Once you get to a game, you tap the pad with your AYCP pass and the game begins. When the game is over, collect your tickets and find a new game to play. It’s very kid friendly, and my kids – ages 5, 3, and 1 – had no problems using it. Another nice feature is that you can “freeze” your time if you need to eat or need a bathroom break, up to one time during your play period. When you’re ready to resume playing, reactivate your pass at the kiosk.

 We even wear our AYCP passes around the house.

New Food

You guys, the food is good! The pizza is delicious and crispy, and the salad bar is fresh and colorful. There are so many good flavors. I especially appreciate that Chuck E. Cheese’s features healthier food options for families.

The remodel features an open kitchen, which allows guests to watch the pizza-making process. The salad bar features fresh ingredients – veggies, toppings, and hard-boiled eggs. In addition, the lunch buffet is available Monday – Friday from 11am to 3pm, and is located closer to the open kitchen to highlight its fresh ingredients.

While guests can order at the counter, self-service kiosks are available near the entrance of the restaurant and offer a fast, simple option to ordering.

 

New Toys

We ended the night with 950 tickets – not bad for our first time to Chuck E. Cheese’s. The kids picked out matching slinky’s (which really makes my life easier because that means no fighting over toys) and have enjoyed watching them slide down the stairs.

There are so many fun prizes to pick from. It’s fun to be a kid!

—

The kids and I had an absolute blast! And I can’t tell you how many of my friends wanted to join us. With freezing temperatures and cold winter nights, we will be back soon.

We can’t wait!

Fairfax Location:
9404 Main St.
Fairfax, VA 22031

(Another) New Opening

We are lucky x 2 and had the opportunity to attend the Glen Bernie Grand Re-Opening, too.

The Glen Bernie location offers the same amenities, games, and food options. If you live in Maryland, you definitely need to check out this new location.

Glen Bernie Location:
6637 Governor Ritchie Highway
Glen Bernie, MD 21061

Opening Soon: Tom Dolan Swim School

January 22, 2019 by · 2 Comments

I’m so excited about the opening of the Tom Dolan Swim School, located in the Arlington/Falls Church area. The location opens in early February, and for all of my local families, it’s located in the same shopping plaza as Target and Chick-Fil-A (now that I think about it, I don’t know if that’s a good thing for my wallet, ha!).

When the first TDSS opened in Dulles, I was a little jealous. I knew there was no way I was driving to Dulles for a swim lesson, but was hoping (wishing?!) I could transport the kids and I there here for the lesson and back.

You see, I’ve been on the hunt for a swim school that can accommodate three kids of varying ages and skills, but with a location that’s convenient for me. For years, I’ve tried different swim methods, lessons, and have taken breaks in between. I haven’t found quite what I’m looking for but with a 5 year-old that thinks he can swim and summer approaching, I need to get my kids swimming. Starting February, all of that will change. The Little Jonsesies (plus mama) will be taking lessons at Tom Dolan Swim School.

Aside from the location (which is a huge factor to me), there are a few things that really drew me to the Tom Dolan Swim School. First, Tom Dolan is an Olympic Gold Medalist and former World Record Holder. He built the facility and developed his curriculum to create the optimal swim school environment for you and your child. The role of the school and instructors are to ensure that you and your child are having fun while learning the important safety and technical aspects of the life-saving skill of swimming. Last, from ensuring that the pools have perfect depth and temperature for kids’ classes to implementing conveniences like online registration software and plenty of space for parking strollers, Tom Dolan Swim School was designed for families! (Which is especially important for me when considering schools – I have three young kids and I will be attending three different lessons with three kids).

Tom Dolan also grew up in Arlington and lives in Falls Church, so it’s fun to have a local celebrity close by.

Hope to see you at TDSS soon!

Here’s what you need to know:

Opening February 2019
6112-A Arlington Blvd, Falls Church, VA
(571) 933-8944
fallschurch@tomdolanswimschool.com

Upcoming Specials:
Register Jan 22-24 – Receive a free pair of Goggles if you register to start lessons in February
Register Jan 26-27 – Receive a free Family Swim voucher for your entire family if you register to start lessons in February

February 8, 2017 by · Leave a Comment

New Year, New Goals. The January Popsugar Must-Have Box has everything you need to motivate, refresh, detox, and get/stay healthy. Now, I just need to get my “new year, new you” in action…

Here’s what you missed in January:

GoldFaden MD Resurfacing Peel: I don’t get many facials (though, I wish I could). The resurfacing peel does just that: supercharges skin, removes dead cells, and leaves you feeling like a million bucks.

May Designs Desk Calendar: Start each month with a bit of beauty. This calendar is the perfect size for any desk – and so pretty. Plus, each month is a notecard (flip it over and reuse)

Daily Concepts Hair Wrap Towel: Seriously, I’ve needed one of these for years! Say goodbye to over size towels. The microfibers keep frizz at bay and cuts down on blow dry time. Win-win if you ask me.

Manduka eQua Mat Towel: The perfect addition to any yoga class, this towel is absorbent and quick-drying. Bring on the Bikram.

Sourcebooks, Inc. Happy Notes: Brighten any day, including yours, with these fun, inspirational quotes.

Dean & Deluca Peppermint Tea: I can never have too much tea, I love it. And Dean & Deluca. This soothing flavor helps with digestion and is so refreshing.

Popsugar Must-Have Box // December

January 5, 2017 by · Leave a Comment

Tis’ the season. And the Popsugar Must-Have Box for December is just that. The December box is the perfect combination of festive, snowy, and celebrations. Now, I just need to decide if I want to share my goodies, or keep them all to myself…


Here’s what you missed in December:

Odeme Catchall + Ring Dish: this matching porcelain dish set is the perfect piece for your vanity or dresser, and provides a chic place to store your jewelry & accessories. The ring dish couldn’t have come at a more perfect time; I was in the market for a ring holder, and this one is just perfect.

Baublebar Snowfall Pendant: I’m a sucker for a good statement necklace, especially one that’s versatile and can be worn across many outfits. This POPSUGAR exclusive necklace checks all the boxes. Now, I just need to figure out a way to keep it from my sisters.

Mane Message Date Night Bobby Pins: Versatile enough to dress up any topknot or keep your bangs out of your face. These sparkly hair pins can be worn all together or on their own.

Winky Lux Lip Pill: Ahhh, the perfect cranberry color and festive enough for the holidays. I can’t stop wearing this cruelty-free lipstick in Bunny shade.

Sister’s Gourmet Chocolate Chip Cookies: The mason jar packaging is perfect for gift-giving or last minute party solution. Just add eggs + butter, and you’ll have fresh baked cookies in no time.

Dessange Professional Hair Luxury Serum: Give your hair the boost it needs with this serum’s special formula for smooth, shiny hair. Especially important in the winter, I love finishing my look with styling shine.

If you want all of these fun goodies delivered to your front door each month, sign up for Popsugar Must-Have Box and save $5 off your first month. Use code SHOP5 at checkout.

review: mama & little [teething jewelry]

September 8, 2015 by · 1 Comment

author’s note: My Mama & Little review is just one in a series of reviews that ends with a huge mama & baby giveaway (launching early October). Stay tuned to learn more about my favorite things for mama’s and her babes.

Baby Girl recently discovered her hands, and that means everything goes straight to her mouth. Fingers, clothes, burp clothes, you name it. I wanted to find something for her to hold on to (to develop dexterity & strength) but still be safe to chew. After a lack-luster experience with another brand (with Mr. President), I began my search to find the perfect teething jewelry to suit both mama (me) and baby (Coco).IMG_7618 (1)

After scouring Instagram for my newest accessory, I found Mama & Little.

Mama & Little is jewelry for the hip mama and her little. The necklaces are to-die-for. Seriously, I don’t need fancy or expensive jewelry anymore, and I get tons of compliments. But best of all, my jewelry is safe for Baby Coco – and that trumps style any day.

I’m totally in love with their latest collection, inspired by the modern bohemian mama (which is often how I describe myself). I wanted to buy them all but finally picked the Zooey necklace – a free-spirited pendent design inspired by mala necklaces used in meditation. Om, baby. 

Coco loves her necklace, but more importantly Mama & Little products are:

  • Non-toxic
  • 100% food-grade silicone
  • BPA free
  • No Phthalate
  • Dishwasher safe
  • Does not harbor bacteria
  • Safety breakaway clasp

…So I can feel good about my baby chewing on my jewelry.

FullSizeRender (11)FullSizeRender (10)

Stay tuned for a GIVEAWAY featuring the Zooey necklace & Finley bracelet.

{review} capital teas: tea for the tub

January 16, 2015 by · 1 Comment

I love taking baths. It’s the one place, one time, I get some alone time. And even though baths are much shorter these days and a little less relaxing, I still really enjoy them.

photo 1 (2)

Capital Teas recently launched Tea for the Tub – and I jumped at the opportunity to give it a try. I love tea. I love the tub. Tea for the Tub just makes sense.

Capital Tea has two tub teas to choose from: photo 2 (4)
Soothe: Soothe your skin and senses with this blend of green tea, mint and citrus.
Purify: Arouse your senses with this warming blend of white tea, ginger, and spices.

Since I was looking to relax, I opted for Soothe. It was a nice blend + the flavors/smells really filled the bathroom (if you live in Arlington, you know that’s not hard to do, ha). You use Tea for the Tub like you would any bath bomb – simply drop into the tub while filling; relax + enjoy!

And if I wasn’t pregnant, I would’ve enjoyed my bath with a glass of processco. Instead, I drank Capital Tea with my Tea for the Tub – and that was a pretty close second. Note: try Orange Grapefruit Wellness tea – the flavors are insanely delicious.

If you’re looking for a different approach to a bubble bath, give Tea for the Tub a try. At $5.95/packet, its price point is on target with any luxury bath bomb, and you’ll enjoy trying something new!

To order, visit www.capitalteas.com or stop by one of their 13 locations in the DC/PA area.

{review} Alive Juices (raw-pressed juice)

January 6, 2015 by · Leave a Comment

I love juicing (!!) – but there’s so much involved (preping all of the fruits + veggies, time – something I don’t have a lot of, and clean-up – I seriously have to soak + scrub the machine 5 times before it’s clean) that I rarely do it. I wish I had the time but with a very busy boy, I just don’t.

And because I don’t juice myself but spend money on raw-pressed juices that someone else juices for me, I consider myself a bit of a raw-pressed juice connoisseur.

I had the opportunity to try local company, Alive Juices over the holidays. I couldn’t be more impressed with the overall package Alive Juices has to offer. From custom juice plans, to excellent customer service, to free delivery + bottle pickup, there’s no reason not to try Alive Juices.

Downloads

{about}
Made to Order. Gluten-Free. Vegan.
Alive Juices come in 8 unique flavors. Each flavor provides unique health benefits (heart, bones, vision, protection against cancers etc). Each flavor contains different produce, but they all have Big 4 – Apples, Ginger, Garlic and Lemon. These are well researched disease fighters, that go above and beyond in keeping us healthy.

Each juice has roughly 200 calories – so it’s healthy while keeping you full and on-track for your 2015 goals.

I had a chance to try 4 different flavors: image (1)
#1 Postive Karma: Big 4 + Cucumber, Celery, Spinach, Cilantro
#4 Detox Mantra: Big 4 + Carrots, Beet, Kale, Cilantro
#5 Guru’s Greens: Big 4 + Romaine Lettuce, Bokchoy, Collards, Fennel
# 8 Morning Sunshine: Big 4 + Squash, Cilantro, Pineapple

While all flavors were great (I love Ginger & Lemon), Postive Karma + Morning Sunshine were my favorite (I still crave pineapple as much as I did when I was pregnant with Mr. President). I definitely had more energy (something I need even more of) and felt great! Of course I couldn’t do a full cleanse (juice-only) since I’m pregnant, but I used these juices to jump-start my day and carry me through healthy eating and options. When I needed a pick-me-up, I snacked on the nut mix provided with each cleanse. I’m a huge fan of Alive Juices!

{final thoughts}
If you’re thinking about starting a juicing plan or just want to try a few flavors, Alive Juices is your go-to. There’s a plan and flavor for everyone. And if your excuse is that you’re “too busy” (which is often my excuse), this is the perfect option – custom plans, great flavors, and FREE delivery.

These are safe to drink during pregnancy (I’d be in big trouble if raw-pressed juice wasn’t part of the plan) – and often encouraged because of all of the healthy benefits.

Get started today: http://alivejuices.com/juice-plans/
*FREE $15 in juices with your 1st order

For Two Fitness Maternity Workout Clothes: Review & Discount Code

July 2, 2013 by · 9 Comments

These days it’s pretty obvious that I’m pregnant but before Week 19, it was touch & go.  That’s why I love (and wear) For Two Fitness Maternity gear!  Their clever slogans – Running for Two being my favorite  – take the questioning out of the equation (a huge plus for me during those awkward “is she, isn’t she” pregnancy moments). For Two Fitness

For Two Fitness is the premier maternity fitness apparel brand, proudly made in the USA, and committed to celebrating and supporting moms who are dedicated to healthy, fit, pregnancies.  Their apparel crosses over from workout to lounge and is designed to flatter your growing baby bump.

I had the opportunity to wear test the Racerback Tank Top and Dedication Maternity Capri – and I can’t say enough wonderful things about the product.  Moisture wicking, anti-microbial, and perfectly fit, the product performed exactly how I expected (and hoped) it would in 90 degrees & 75% humidity.  Even though I was sweaty after my 4 mile run, I felt cool and the racerback pulled the moisture away from my body (just like it’s supposed to do).

Racerback Tank Top:  I have to admit that I’m a sucker for the “Running for Two” slogan; I can’t think of anything more appropriate for this running, pregnant mama!  But slogans aside, the Racerback Tank performed better than I expected.  As someone with a very long torso, my growing belly has added an interesting twist to finding tanks that are long enough to cover said belly; the Racerback Tank is long enough for coverage throughout pregnancy and it doesn’t ride up (!!).  The material feels soft on skin, but is moisture wicking and breathable.

Downloads

The slogans are fun – and capture every mom’s favorite  activity: Running for Two, Yoga for Two, Cycling for Two, Sweating for Two, Dancing for Two, and more.

Features:

  • CoreFX™ technology
  • 4-way stretch and recovery
  • Side-ruching for form-fitting style
  • Generous length for coverage throughout pregnancy
  • Moisture-wicking
  • Breathable
  • Ultra soft
  • Tagless

Dedication Maternity Capri: I’ve been rocking the Maternity Capri to yoga and 3-way belly panel makes it easy to move and stretch without baring it all.  The 3-way belly panel (fold-over mid rise, full belly panel, and under-belly) allows you to fully customize the fit, while the technical Supplex/Lycra fabric blend gives you support and stretch without restriction.  The Capri is ultra soft, and moves with my (or the babe’s) every move.  The only thing I’d mention is the length – I’m on the taller side (5’8”), so the Capri hits me a little higher than I’d like but if you’re more of a mid calf/below the knee type of person, you’ll love the length and fit.

Destination Maternity Capri - full belly panel

Destination Maternity Capri – full belly panel

Features:

  • Supplex/Lycra fabric
  • 3-way belly panel
  • Moisture-wicking
  • Breathable
  • Ultra soft
  • Tagless
  • Inseam length is approximately 18 inches

Final Thoughts: If you’re active and pregnant, you want For Two Fitness Maternity Clothes!  The product fits great, is super soft, and performs when you need it to.  I’ll be using the discount code to buy a few more items (Yoga for Two and Sweating for Two) – can’t have enough when you’re working out for two!

Discount Code: For Two Fitness is offering 20% all items, using the code MARGARITAS.  Don’t miss out on this awesome deal!

Aquaphor Healing Ointment Review & Giveaway

June 14, 2013 by · 181 Comments

As my belly gets bigger, so do my problems.  I’m using the word “problems” loosely, but this babe has me experiencing things I didn’t know were possible: chaffing – and lots of it.

I’m a runner and have no plans of stopping while I’m pregnant, but know that I may have to adjust accordingly.  About three weeks ago, adjusting became my reality.  With warmer temperatures and inevitable shorts weather, I knew I needed to do something about the uncomfortable chaffing on my inner-thighs.  I tried all sorts of products (baby powder, Body Glide) before discovering Aquaphor Healing Ointment – and then my running life changed.

Aquaphor

Aquaphor Healing Ointment is specially formulated to create an ideal environment that protects and heals skin; it’s also free of fragrances (so important while I’m pregnant), dyes, and preservatives, making it gentle enough for all skin types.  What I like most about Aquaphor Healing Ointment is that it’s multi-use: I can use it for chaffing, dry feet/hands, minor burns, cracked lips, and more.  It’s not greasy and absorbs quickly into skin.  Athletes listen up – Aquaphor can be used for everything from chaffing, blisters, wind-burned skin, and saddle sores.  I can’t wait to try Aquaphor as a replacement to Body Glide at my next triathlon (hello, easy wetsuit removal).  I also had a chance to try (and fall in love with love) Aquaphor Lip Repair + Protect; it’s SPF 30 (super important for outdoor activities in the summer) and seals in moisture to prevent dryness.  I’m a sucker for anything lip gloss/stick related but I’m also very picky about what I use and like.  Aquaphor Lip Repair + Protect passed the running/sweating/longevity test.

Final Thoughts: If you’re looking for one product that does everything, Aquaphor Healing Ointment and Lip Repair are the way to go.  I couldn’t be more pleased with how well Aquaphor works with all aspects of my life (running, working out, bedtime, etc.).  Prices range from $6-$15 (depending on size) and can be found at various locations including Target, CVS, Walgreens, RiteAid, and local grocery stores.

You better believe I’ll be using Aquaphor when the babe arrives – it’s dermatologist approved and recommended by dermatologists, pediatricians, and moms!

Giveaway
Best of all, one lucky winner will win an Aquaphor prize pack, including Aquaphor Healing Ointment, $50 Visa gift card and CamelBak Water Bottle.
