What We've Been Up To..... We've been enjoying lazy days and not having to set an alarm. There's been a lot of screen time and lounging around the house, sprinkled with some fun like making our own pizza, sibling sleepovers, and a trip to the library.  I've been able to do a couple of small organizing projects like a kitchen cabinet, the junk drawers, and laundry room. There is still SO MUCH to be done (like the garage - oy! and Brian's office) but I felt good to check a few items off the "To Do" list. BEFORE: AFTER: BEFORE: AFTER: And I forgot to take before photos of the laundry room and linen closet so here is the AFTER: What We've Been Watching...... Brian and I just watched the Arnold Schwartenegger documentary on Netflix and I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. It's amazing how he came from this small town in Austria and became a famous body builder, actor and Governor of California.  What We've Been Reading.... I'm currently rea...
1. The Brooke Fringe Bag by Monogram Mary . A fellow baseball mama had this bag and I thought it was adorable. I debated between the blue and pink (love both!) and ultimately went with the blue. It's a nice size tote and really cute for spring/summer.  2. Five Star Weekend by Elin Hilderbrand : One of my favorite authors has a new book coming out next week! I can't wait to read it. Elin Hilderbrand books are the perfect summer beach read! 3. 10 DAYS LEFT OF SCHOOL! As exciting as it is that summer is right around the corner, it's also super stressful trying to get all the things done to wrap up the school year. Field days, concerts, retirement parties, end-of-year celebrations, report cards....it can be overwhelming. But there is a light at the end of the tunnel! I can't wait for summer!  4. Cowboy Caviar: I had this dip at my cousin's house last weekend. It was SO GOOD that I immediately asked for the recipe. I'm looking forward to making this....it taste real...
FRIDAY FAVORITES - June 2, 2023 1. Vineyard Vines outlet score!  When I was in Chicago we went to the outlets, and I found this dress on the clearance rack. It was already on sale for $70 plus an additional 60% off! I paid around $28. It's really hot in NY today and I'm wearing it.  2. J. Crew Factory smocked midi dress with puff sleeves I also picked this dress up at the outlets. It's much prettier in person and can be dressed up or down with heels or flats.  3. Harry Potter Jack just finished the first Harry Potter book. It took him forever, but I'm proud of him for sticking with it. We're going to watch the movie with him this weekend. I read all the books and saw all the movies; but it's been so long that I forget a lot of it. I'm sure it will all come back to me. I can't believe Harry Potter came out over 20 years ago! I'm looking forward to experiencing the magic again through Jack's eyes.  4. Call Me Daddy Podcast - The Interview with Aria...
