1. Wonka Movie: We don't often go to the movies, but last week we took the kids to the Wonka movie. It was great! I didn't know what to expect and I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. And of course, we needed lots of candy for this one! If you're looking for a family-friendly outing, check out this movie. 

2. Chicken Meatballs in a Lemon Caper Sauce: I saw this recipe on Instagram and wanted to try it. Laura loves chicken francese and Jack loves capers, so it was a win-win. The sauce is very similar (if not identical) to a francese sauce. Laura doesn't like capers, so I went light on them and Jack added extra to his portion. It was easy to make and a big hit in my house. I'm going to add it to our meal rotation. 
3. Madonna - The Celebration Tour: On Monday night I trekked into the city with 3 of my girlfriends to see Madonna at Madison Square Garden. When we originally bought the tickets, the show was supposed to be in August. I was not excited about going into the city on a Monday night, and even less excited when I heard she comes on super late. The show was scheduled for 8:30, and Madonna took the stage at 9:55pm. It was worth the wait! She was amazing! It's hard to believe she's 65. I've been a Madonna fan since I was in fourth grade so this was a bucket list concert. 

4. True Botanicals Products: My friend Tara introduced me to this skin care line when we in Mt. Tremblant. Tara has rosacea like me and raved about True Botanicals. I normally don't spend a lot of money on skin care, but I decided to give it a shot and take better care of my skin in 2024. It arrived this week and so far I love it. I'm using the Ginger Tumeric Cleansing Balm, the Pure Radiance Oil, and the Phyto-Retinol Sleep Serum. They all smell SO GOOD and feel great on my skin. 

Thanks for reading. Have a great weekend!

                                   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...
