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.

                                   It has been a BUSY but fun couple of weeks around here. Today is my last day of work for awhile and I'm hoping to enjoy some down time as we head into August. I have lots of favorites to share this Friday start with... 1. ENGLISH FACTORY DRESSES: My friend has this dress and it's adorable on her. I had my eye on it for awhile and pulled the trigger when it went sale. I can't wait to wear it this weekend! Sunni Color Block Dress 2. BASEBALL LIFESTYLE : My son Jack is very into this Baseball Lifestyle 101 brand. It's all the rage with the baseball players. He typically wears hand me downs so I treated him to these shorts in blue and pink and the short sleeve hoodie. Baseball Shorts 3. CHERRIES: My obsession with cherries continues. I picked up this straw bag at a local boutique, a cute tank at Old Navy, and some fun items at Five Below.  Old Navy Cherry Tank ...

August 22, 2025 1. GIRL TIME: I spent a few days in the Hamptons with my mom this week. Brian and the kids stayed home since sports have already kicked off. Even though Mom lives with us now, we haven’t had much one-on-one time, so it was really nice to catch up. My friend Carrie was also out there solo, so we squeezed in lots of shopping! Such a nice little break before the craziness starts next week. 2. OOFOS flip flops: One of my neighbors has these and swears by them. I bought them in black and have to admit, they are VERY comfortable. I expect to be wearing these to lost of games in the fall.  Oofos Original Sandal 3. NEW RUGS: Carrie and I were both on the hunt for rugs and I ended up finding this beautiful blue one at HomeSense. The navy, red, and white rug is from Pottery Barn, and I scored it for an amazing deal on Facebook Marketplace! 3. TUCKERNUCK SAMPLE SALE: The semi-annual Tuckernuck sample sale is live and it's sooooo good. There were so many pieces I loved but I...

LOW LEVEL GOALS FOR 2025 Today I'm linking up with Erika to share our goals for 2024. I like that they are calling these "low level" goals because I don't want to set myself up for failure. I've made the mistake in previous years of setting lofty goals that weren't attainable. So here we go.... Read 25 Books in 2025: Last year I wanted to read 24 books in 2024 and I fell a little short. I think I read about 20. But this year I'm committed. I really enjoy reading so it shouldn't be too hard. The issue is finding the time. We have a vacation planned in April and I love to read on vacation. I also love hunkering down under a blanket with a good book during the colder months.  Take Online Classes: I'm a teacher and our district offers pay increases every time you earn an additional 30 credits up to 120 credits. This year my goal is to earn 30 credits (10 classes) before September 1st. A couple of years ago I earned my first 30 and I've slacking...
