I often get to do some pretty cool things thanks to my blog.
However, rarely do I get to share my experiences firsthand with my family.
That’s why I was so excited when I was able to attend the Boston Social Media
Holiday Party which was planned by Mommy Niri and The Frugalette.
On Saturday, my family headed to the Royal Sonesta in
Cambridge where we were blown away by their generosity.

| A great event AND an adorable kid picture? Wowzers! |
My children were in their glory with decorate
your own cupcakes, make your own Play Doh, coloring, crafts, and a spread of
toys/games to play with courtesy of the fabulous sponsors.

| Think they had fun? |
ArtBar (located inside the hotel) also served a plated kids meal that was making me
drool – chicken tenders, curly fries, pigs in a blanket, mac and cheese – oh
my! I’m not going to lie I sampled everything on the plate!
Adjacent to the “kids’ room” was the adult
dining/socializing space. Tim and I took turns sneaking off to enjoy adult
conversation with some of Boston’s finest bloggers. Art Bar was also mixing up
homemade cocktails including a warm “Tom and Jerry” with just the right amount
of brandy to take the chill off the snowy day!
As if the kids menu wasn’t great enough they upped it a notch with
delicious paninis, soup, salad, and freshly seared scallops for the adults. Of course, my
favorite food of the day had to be the homemade ice cream sandwiches. They even
warmed the cookies for you on a skillet – ummm…yum!

| We heart dessert. |
The hotel was even nice enough to let everyone use their
indoor pool after the event. We opted to sneak out without using it though
since we were maxed out for fun and ready for a nap. All three kids were passed
out within about ten minutes on our drive home!
Once we got home we dove in to the goody bags that we
received which were amazing.

The whole family couldn’t wipe the smiles off our faces.
