LET'S LOOK: LITTLE THINGS WE DO EVERY SINGLE DAY

1. MAKE MY BED: I have to make my bed every single day. If I don't, I feel unsettled. Weird, I know. In college I never made my bed because I figured what's the point, I'm just going to get back in it. Well I've done a complete 180 and now I have to do it. Laura to makes her own bed, and Jack still needs a little help with his. When I leave for work in the morning, all the beds are made. 


2. LAUNDRY: I am doing some form of laundry every morning and evening. Doing one load a day helps me stay on top of it. The down side is that there is never a break from it. It is part of my daily routine, like brushing my teeth. Usually I throw in a load in the morning put it in the dryer before I leave. Then fold it when I get home from school. 

3. TO DO LIST: I make a to do list every day. There is the personal to do list, and the work to do list. It helps me stay on track and keeps me from dropping the ball (although that still happens from time to time). Whatever doesn't get crossed off the list, gets put on the list the following day. 

4. SHOWER: I take a shower every weekday morning. It isn't necessarily about being clean but more about my hair. I have very curly hair that needs to be wet to reshape it after sleeping on it all night. So even if I took a shower before bed, or I'm going skiing or doing some activity where I'm just going to get dirty anyway, I shower. I also do it because it is part of my routine and wakes me up. Sometimes on the weekends I'll skip the morning shower and just shower at night, but Monday through Friday I have to shower before starting my day. 

Things I try to do everyday:

5. WATCH A SHOW WITH MY FAMILY: I love when the four of us watch a show as a family. Lately we've been binging Friends. Laura and I are watching Gilmore Girls together. I also like to watch a show with Brian after the kids go to sleep. Although they've been going to bed later and later so this is hard.

6. READ: I love to read. It is my favorite thing to do on vacation, or any time I take a break from house chores and school work. I try to read a little bit each night. 

7. MAKE A PHONE CALL: I call my mom almost every day, and I try to call at least one other family member or friend every day to check in. I usually do this when I'm driving home from school. 

8. COFFEE: I almost forgot this one. I need caffeine! I stop at Dunkin Donuts on my way to school each morning and order the same thing. A large hot coffee with milk and a shot of espresso. On the weekends Brian makes a pot of coffee and I have about two cups. 

That's it! I'm sure there is more I should be doing but I'm a work in progress!

Thanks for reading.

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...
