From a press release:
“The Yards, DC’s most exciting waterfront neighborhood for living, dining, shopping and relaxing is ‘swinging’ into the holiday season with the seventh annual Light Yards!
This year’s holiday light installation, Swinging Bells, invites guests to become part of the artwork with interactive swings that animate the lights and amplify the cheerful sound of holiday bells. The five, 13-foot tall bells will illuminate The Yards’ Sun Deck and are the perfect stop for friends and family to take photos and get in the holiday spirit. Before making their way to Light Yards, guests can cozy up at one of The Yards’ 20+ restaurants and retailers for dinner, drinks or festive treats!

We’re about a month out from summer. That means you’ve still got time for spring cleaning!
Lexi Grant, an operations manager at Well-Paid Maids, shared her go-to spring cleaning tips with WTOP News. Step one? Declutter. Get rid of items you don’t use, find space for items that need a home and organize those areas.
Then, it’s time to dust. Lexi starts with high-touch surface areas (think: refrigerator, dishwasher, counters, microwave). One area she sees often neglected is the bedroom — and it makes sense. Heavy furniture is difficult to move around, but it’s important to really get in there so dust doesn’t affect your sleep.
