What's Up Wednesday: February 2023


What We've Been Up To
Skiing, skiing, and more skiing. We just returned from a long weekend in Okemo, VT.  We do an annual ski trip with our Somers crew. This was our second time going to Okemo. In the past we've been to Whiteface and Gore. I love watching the kids on the slopes with their friends and making memories together. 


What We've Been Watching


Brian and I have been watching the HBO series The Last of Us. It is intense and wacky! Definitely out of my comfort zone. Sci-fi is not usually my thing, but this series has me hooked. Based on the 2012 video game, the series is set in 2023, twenty years into a global pandemic caused. by a mass fungal infection, which forces its hosts to transform into zombie-life creatures and collapses society. It may seem far fetched,  but if you told me in March 2020 that schools would shut down for the rest of the year and everyone would have to wear masks, I wouldn't have believed you either. 

What I'm Reading
I'm currently reading Prince Harry's book Spare. I'm enjoying it when I'm reading it, but I'm not excited to pick it up again. I'm conflicted on the book. On one hand I love getting the inside scoop and I'm sure most of what he writes really happened. On the other hand, I don't love that he's airing the family's dirty laundry, royal or not. I'm only about a quarter of the way through the book, so it's too early to say if I'd recommend it.  Next up is my book club selection, All the Dangerous Things. My friend Monica just finished The Light We Lost and raved about it, so I'm excited to read that one too. So many books, so little time...

What I've Been Wearing
I busted out my cheesy ski sweaters for this recent trip. There's only so many times a year I can wear them! The first Ski Aspen sweatshirt was a purchased a couple of weeks ago from www.shopfado.com. The second Apres Expert sweater is from Loft last year.



What We're Eating This Week
Laura's been under the weather this week, so I'm making chicken soup tonight. Tomorrow night we're making our own pizzas. Nothing exciting. 

What I'm Looking Forward To
March is a busy month for the Resnicks! Laura and Jack both have early March birthdays, so we have two birthday parties and my favorite holiday, St. Patrick's Day! 

Thanks for reading!

      Thank you! Btw, you're my first comment ever! Lol. Thanks for reading. And I can't wait to read The Light We Lost. I heard it's a tearjerker!

    I can't bring myself to read Spare, despite the many people I see that are enjoying it. It just doesn't sit right with me how Harry is disrespecting the rest of his family. :-( Guess nobody has a perfect life, not even royalty!

      I totally understand. A big part of me feels the same way and feels guilty for reading it.

Happy Friday! The summer is coming crashing to an end and I'm not happy about it. But I am excited for the new school year. We're in Hampton Bays for one last weekend and I'm really trying to relax and enjoy every minute of it. We have friends coming out tomorrow for one last hurrah! Here are some of my favorites lately... 1. New Wall Gallery : Earlier in the summer we did a family photo shoot on the beach. One of my summer projects was to switch out the canvases in our hallway, which had photos from 8 years ago! The kids were babies in them....it was time! I moved the canvases to Brian's office. I went with something a little more modern and ordered these acrylic frames from Pottery Barn.   2. New Balance Sneakers: I just got these 327 sneakers from New Balance. I saw a woman on the train wearing them and had to have them. I didn't realize how popular they are right now until after I purchased them. My sister has several pairs and lovs them. She wears them to commu...

Friday, November 8, 2024 1. Joe McIntrye in Drag the Musical: On Wednesday I met some friends in NYC to see Joe McIntyre in Drag the Musical. I'm a huge NKOTB fan so I couldn't miss the opportunity to see my favorite New Kid on Broadway. We had bar stool seats right on the stage! Besides gushing over being so close to Joey, we really enjoyed the show. It was funny and entertaining. Afterwards we saw Joey leaving the theater and he was super nice and happy to take photos with us.  2. Old Navy Sequin Skirts: I wore this Old Navy black sequin skirt to the theater; along with my NKOTB BlockCon tee shirt. The skirt was really comfortable and not itchy at all. I also bought the long sequin skirt in the silver color. I haven't purchased the dress yet because I can't decide on a color but it's in my cart. These pieces are affordable and perfect for when you want a little sparkle.  Old Navy Short Sequin Skirt Old Navy Long Sequin Skirt Sequin Dress 3. Target Bow Heels : I ...

July 19, 2024 We're wrapping up on second week of camp and summer is flying by....I'm trying to enjoy it instead of thinking about summer being over soon. On Wednesday my cousin Gerard and I took the train into the city to see the Irish band the Saw Doctors perform at Central Park Summer Stage. We had about a 25 block walk from Grand Central to Central Park and we popped into bars as we made our way uptown. We even made an impromptu visit to my sister at her office building. It was so much fun! The concert was great but the band had to stop after an hour because of lightning and thunder. Just as we were walking out of the park the skies opened and we got SOAKED! The train ride home in soggy wet clothes was NOT a favorite.  I have a long list of small house projects to accomplish this summer. This week I did a deep cleaning of Jack's room. One down, several more to go!  HeyNuts High Waisted Leggings:  I didn't do much shopping on Prime Day, but I did score these Hey Nuts...
