Have a great weekend! There are some exciting events this weekend that we hope to make it to, starting with The Backyard Bash. Our son loves wide open spaces to run in and enjoys picking fruit and petting animals so we will hang out at Ticonderoga at some point. There are a few evening events for those with older children that sound like a blast! The weather should be gorgeous so if you’re looking to head to an outdoor water park or splash park here’s your guide!

Sponsored: An Indian Palette for Families

August 6, 2014

Today’s sponsored post is by Anuradha Mehra, a fashion designer and fellow DC mom. RSVP below to this unique two-weekend exhibition where you’re sure to leave with hand made clothing and gifts. You can preview the collection here. Anu invites you to experience and celebrate the vibrancy of India at a fun-filled event. Bring your loved ones, friends and children. To contact Anu directly you may email her for more information.

I am a stay at home DC mom, but having worked as a fashion designer in India for over 15 years, I have always had a deep passion for the rich heritage of textiles that India has to offer. I have personally designed my collections and collaborated to have them manufactured in India during my annual trips to New Delhi. After I had my son two years back, I felt a change in my design aesthetic and wanted to extend my expertise to designing children’s clothing and kid friendly products. Each piece has been hand made with a lot of love and attention to detail. The collection also has a wide range of exquisite hand crafted items that will make for great gifts to your family during the forthcoming holiday season. I would like to extend a warm invitation to an exhibition of a unique collection offering a refreshingly distinct and vibrant aesthetic inspired by life in India today.
