What the Helen of Troy is This?

“Dear PoPville,

but every night between 9:30-10pm for the past couple of weeks, there is a bright white light in the sky over upper NW DC (likely near / above the National Cathedral). But it’s high up!!! So I’m not sure if it’s a helicopter… and then after a while, it’s gone! It’s definitely bigger and brighter than a star. What is it?!? Who’s watching us?!? PS: It stays stationary in the exact same spot for at least half hour… and then it quickly disappears!!!”

Ed. Note: I thought it might be the oft reported imaging balloon but we’ve never had a night reporting before. Any ideas?

Finding a gift for moms can be difficult. Google “Mother’s Day gifts,” and you’ll scroll through endless lists of beauty products, candles and fuzzy robes. Sure, those are sweet, but sometimes it’s fun to surprise loved ones with something a little more, well, practical!

Here’s one idea: Give her a gift certificate for a home cleaning from Well-Paid Maids. It’s the perfect “thank you,” “I love you” or “you’ve got this” for any mom. She can schedule the home cleaning at her convenience and breathe easy knowing she has one less thing to do.

Our cleaners will take care of everything, including vacuuming and mopping as well as cleaning and dusting countertops, tables, mirrors, appliances and more. Sinks, toilets, showers and appliance exteriors also get a good scrub.
