moms night out: martinis at brio recap


Many thanks to all of the moms who came out to our Moms Night Out event last Wednesday at Brio Tuscan Grille. According to Brio, we just may have set a world record for the largest number of martinis made in the shortest amount of time!

Many thanks to our swag partners! Shout out to Brio Tuscan Grille, Plum District Baltimore, Baltimore Orioles, Style House Realty, Wee Chic, Green Spring Station, Body Back Baltimore, Modern Life Portraits, KneeBouncers, Scholastic and Sugar Mountain PR!

It was so much fun to see everyone and catch up! Some of us munched on Brio’s delicious apps at the bar (I’m partial to the flat breads, myself). While others enjoyed a cocktail and were then seated in the dining area for a top-notch full dining experience (sans sippy cups).

20% of everyone’s food bill is going to the Downtown Baltimore Family Alliance. Not familiar with DBFA? You definitely should be. The organization no only organizes great activities for downtown families to mix and mingle, they do tons of things to advocate for families around the city. As an independent, nonprofit alliance, DBFA partners with local government, business, and nonprofit organizations to develop family-wise programs and policies, including initiatives for strong public schools and early childhood programs, enhanced public safety and environmental quality, and expanded recreational and cultural opportunities. Check them out online and become a member today!

We had a great time and can’t wait to see you all again soon! Cheers!

Heather is editor-in-chief of (cool) progeny. When not scouting the best in everything kid and family, you'll probably find her running The Weisse Group or adventuring around town with her daughter (the Bug) and husband. Can be won over with a good glass of wine or something homemade. Addicted to Pinterest. Only pretends to know what she's doing with her SLR, even though she's got a fantastic lens on it. Thankful it does most of the work for her.

we are modern family

Who, us? We’re putting (cool) back in to the crazy, upside down world of modern parenting. All about raising fun, fashionable, active little thinkers with a strong cuppa coffee on the side.

contributor love

Takes the Cake. You may know Mary Alice from her reality tv days or from her work at Charm City Cakes, but around this little slice of internet, we adore her for her wit. We love a mom with the two must-have senses for parenthood: common sense and a sense of humor.
