Reminiscing About Life Before Kids with a Rock-n-Tots Giveaway

April 21, 2008 By Leticia

UPDATED: Congratulations to Anonymous for being our winner.  Enjoy Rock-n-Tots at UltraBar!


Wednesday is the last day to enter the drawing for free Rock-N-Tots tickets!

Last week we took a family vacation to Boston. The Boston area will always be near and dear to my Tech Savvy heart since it is where I spent two wonderful years during grad school. While I spent a lot of time studying, I also made sure to have plenty of fun.

This Tech Savvy Mama used to love rockin’ the clubs in Boston as an alternative to my coursework. Dressing up and hitting Lansdowne Street with a bunch of friends was always a great way to spend a Friday or Saturday night. 10 years later, those same clubs are still there but I’ve moved on to more family friendly venues.

Get your groove back on with your children and rock out at Rock-n-Tot. Rock-n-Tot offers an afternoon of fun for families geared with kids ages birth through twelve. Held at the very hip Ultra Bar, Rock-n-Tot has a cash bar for parents and offers children complimentary juice boxes and snacks.

Experience The Dance Floor with shakers and scarves, relax in The Lounge filled with toys, puzzles, and books, and complimentary Parent Services that range from mini-massages, paraffin wax dip, eyebrow waxing, and/or golf pro tutoring. Oh, and there will be giveaways and a swag bag of goodies to take home!

Channel your inner rock star and club hop on over to my comments section to enter to win 2 tickets to groove with your kids at this Saturday’s Rock-n-Tot event in DC. Leave a comment about something you loved doing in your days before kids and be sure to include your e-mail so I can contact you when you win.

Captain Computer will put all the names in his wagon and Little Miss Techie will draw the name of our winner on Wednesday.

Good luck and rock on!

This giveaway is dedicated to Annie, my always ready to groove girlfriend who introduced me to all of Boston’s best clubs! Love you! 🙂

    Hi,
    Before the kids I DANCED a lot more…club dancing in college, contra and swing dancing while married. I have even taken some bellydancing classes since the children have come along. This event sounds great!

    boy, Wylde Iris sounds like my long lost twin sister! Dancing is my favorite form of exercise, and pre-kid I used to go swing dancing 2-3 times a week. Since then, on the rare occasion we’d have a night out, the hubs and I would *gasp* rather spend time with each other than in a crowded dance venue partner-switching. I’ve since taken up belly dancing, but the weekly classes don’t come close to the excitement or challenge of partner dancing. It’d be fun to dance with a new partner – admittedly a pint-sized one!

Today we’re celebrating National Rescue Dog Day Today we’re celebrating National Rescue Dog Day because we’re so glad Goldie and Murphy are part of our family! 🐶 We gave Goldie her forever home when she was 6 months old. She had been given up by her original family because she was just too much for them. She was an enthusiastic pup who loved to jump straight up in the air when she got excited and she used to hop the fence in the mornings to go visit her best dog friend, Katy, over our back fence. She still jumps from standing when she sees a deer, meets a favorite dog friend, or gets a visit from @lisatasch but now at age 5, she’s more calm and forever faithful. 🦮We met Murphy and his 9 brothers and sisters just days after he was born although we didn’t know he would be the puppy we’d claim as ours. Murphy has that puppy energy but in his quiet moments is a total love bug. He hogs the free space in our king bed (he even has his own pillow!) and loves nothing more than to press his body into me or lie directly on me. 🐾 Goldie and Murphy came to us through @labrescuelrcp and we couldn’t be happier that they’re part of our family! ❤️ #rescuedogday #labrescue #labrador #adoptdontshop
After 3 days at St. Jude Children’s Research Hos After 3 days at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, I’m leaving Memphis so very grateful to be able to support St. Jude’s mission of working to end childhood cancer. ❤️ Spending time connecting, brainstorming, and absorbing the wisdom of fellow Hero Ambassadors from around the country was inspiring because the work we do fundraising through our endurance events helps St. Jude do the incredible work they do to ensure families never receive a bill for their child’s treatment, housing, travel, or food and continue important research that will continue to reduce rates of pediatric cancer and other childhood diseases. I am so looking forward to running in Memphis again this December! 🎉 If you’ve ever thought of running a race that does so much good in the world, join me! I’d love to have you come to Memphis and run with me! Or you can always donate through the fundraising link in my bio. ❤️ #stjude #stjudeheroes #memphis #stjudedmv

As a teacher and parent, I am well aware of the me As a teacher and parent, I am well aware of the mental health challenges our youth face and am really pleased to share that over the weekend I became certified in Youth Mental Health First Aid through the National Council for Mental Wellbeing! 🎉 I’ve always worked to build relationships with the young people in my life- whether my kids’ friends or students- and this certification has made me more mindful of the signs and symptoms of mental health challenges so I can have important and supportive conversations when symptoms first start to appear. 🗣️A big component of the training also included developing a self-care plan which is critical when supporting others. 💕 I’m so grateful to have taken this certification for free through the University of Maryland whose blended learning format (2 hours of self paced online work + 5 hour instructor led class over Zoom) was fantastic! 💻 The teacher in me really applauds the course design and I’m glad to join the 3 million+ in the U.S. certified in Youth Mental Health First Aid. 🏥 If this is something you’re interested in doing, University of Maryland has free courses on Saturdays or Sundays from 10-4pm between June-October. Swipe ⬅️ for more information, including a QR code with more information and a survey to take as part of the sign up process. And if you have any questions- leave a comment or DM me. I’m happy to help you get certified too! ❤️ #mentalhealth #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealthfirstaid #youthmentalhealth #mentalhealthawarenessmonth
