Why not? A lil' leg for a nite out.

A Mommy of three myself, any excuse for a nite out is a good one. I was turned onto National Mom's Nite Out by blogger bud Keri Henderson, Editor of
adivastateofmind.com.

#MomsNiteOut is basically a celebration of "Mommyhood" with national events across the country. The kids were with their Dad so why not? Yesterday's event held at The Fashion Centre at Pentagon City and hosted by the DC based event planning firm, District Fete had a hefty social media presence and included a fashion show, makeovers, store savings, and swag free goodies. I reconnected with a couple blogger buds and met some new buds of whom I had previously connected with via Instagram but hadn't had the pleasure of meeting until yesterday.

Being as though the event took place at one of my fave local shopping destinations, I certainly didn't leave empty handed. But this post is not meant to be another "shopping confessions" so I will keep the goods to myself. Your best chance of sneaking a peek, is following me on Instagram @ bagladies.

What do you get when you mix kids, fashion, exercise and
music? Get Kids Movin! An event, sponsored by Sport Zone Elite (DC sneaker store), designed to prevent and reduce childhood obesity. The event, inspired by ten year old recording artist, Chi Chi Monet who took notice of obesity amongst her peers, lends attention to healthy eating and physical activity.

Get Kids Movin!, held at The Boulevard at the Capital Centre was free to the public and brought together Parents and children throughout the DMV, to engage in interactive workshops, a fashion show, performances

My kids really were glad to be present

fitness sessions and other activities. Natasha Brown of Think Brown Ink joined me on #BagLadiesLIVE to give me the scoop prior to and extended an invitation to myself and my children to attend. #MommyMidday in full effect!

There was no better event to usher in spring and the weather could not have been better. And the event was a great excuse to get the kids outdoors and moving ...Literally.

How do you get your kids outdoors and keep them engaged in physical activity? How do you teach them about nutrition and healthy eating?
