 1. ST. PATRICK'S DAY: Today is my FAVORITE holiday of the year! My father was born in Ireland and my family and friends have always loved celebrating this day. In high school our parents used to let us skip school and go to the parade in NYC.  Tomorrow we're going to the parade in Hampton Bays with a few other families. I can't wait. I'll be wearing green and playing Irish music all weekend! And reminiscing about and our trip to Ireland last summer. 

2. Dresses! Spring means it's almost dress time! I love throwing on a comfy dress and sandals for work or play. I'm over bulky sweaters right now. This dress at LOFT caught by eye recently. but I didn't buy it (yet). I have SO many dresses and I want to do an inventory before I buy anything new. I've also been trying to declutter and have less "stuff" which directly conflicts with my shopping habit. 

3. Fair Harbor swim suits for boys. My friend Carrie introduced me to these bathing suits. Her son has them, and Jack recently borrowed one to go in their hot tub. The inside has a lining, almost like spandex, instead of mesh. When we're at the beach and swimming in the ocean, Jack often gets irritated inside his suit from the sand, salt water, and even clear jelly fish. He has a very scientific name for this - "jelly balls," I'm hoping these suits will help. Here's a screen shot of what I bought:

We're going away for Spring Break, so I also ordered a few things from Old Navy for Laura:

4. All the Dangerous Things: I just finished this month's Book Club read and....wow! The ending had quite the twist!

6. Buy Nothing Facebook Groups: As I mentioned, I'm trying to declutter and get rid of stuff we don't use anymore. Our town has a "Buy Nothing Group" and it's been really helpful. I'm happy to find local people who can use the items we no longer want/need. This week I gave away Fortnite party supplies leftover from Jack's birthday, a SuperMan nightlight, an unopened pack of wee wee pads from when Millie was a puppy, and unopened games and legos. If your town has a Buy Nothing group, check it out! It is also a great place to find things. I have my eye out for an air hockey table.

Have a great weekend! xo Heather

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...
