Happy Friday! Every Friday brings us closer to the end of the school year and summer! While I can't wait for the break, I'm also trying to soak in this last month with my class because I know I will miss these kiddos next year. Yesterday we had "GLOW DAY" and it was a blast! I won't ever post pictures of my students, but trust me, they loved it! I covered our windows with black plastic and we had black lights, disco balls, and glow sticks that I bought on Amazon. We did all of our work with highlighters. I found great resources on TPT and I'm happy to share more if any fellow teachers want to reach out to me directly. 

1. GLOW DAY is a Friday Favorite!

2. TARGET Women's Quarter Zip Mock Turtleneck Pullover Sweater: I'm loving the "A New Day" line at Target. I've bought some of their shoes and they're cute and comfortable. I just ordered this sweater and hope it's as cute in person. 

3. TARGET Woven Slouchy Shoulder Bag: Another score from A New Day and a dupe of the designer Bottega version. I love the size of this bag and think it will be a staple this summer. Can't beat the price point!

4. TARGET Straw Detail Belt Crossbody Bag: I saw this on a couple of influencers on Instagram and thought it was very cute. I like the black, but I wish it came in other colors like navy blue. 

5. Millie's Birthday: We celebrated Millie Roo's 4th Birthday on Monday. I can't believe we've had this pup for almost 4 years. I don't consider myself a dog person, but I feel like we hit the puppy lottery with Millie. She's sweet, affectionate and wants to be around us ALL the time. Millie loves running on the beach and wrapping herself up in blankets and snuggling. The best part of having Millie is seeing how much the kids adore her, especially Laura. Millie completes our family. 



6. Our 13th Wedding Anniversary: Tuesday was our 13th wedding anniversary. We celebrated by me attending a hockey board meeting until 10pm and Brian running a baseball practice! This is our life right now. We were supposed to go on an overnight to Woodstock last weekend just the two of us; but the kids had so many games it just became too complicated to get coverage. We'll do it another time when life is less busy. We did get to the Rangers game on Monday night which brings me to my next favorite!

Derby Party: May 4, 2024

7. NY Rangers in the Playoffs: It's no secret we're big Rangers fans around here! On Monday Brian and I went to Madison Square Garden for Game 5. Not only did we lose, but they played terrible. I wish we saw a better game but it was still fun! Last night they defeated the Carolina Hurricanes and we advanced to the next round! LGR!

By the way, these "favorites" are in no particular order or our anniversary, Mille, and the Rangers would've been at the top of the list! 
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...

October 24, 2025 1. GIRL TIME: My college bestie and I took our daughters to the Shawn Mendez concert at Forest Hill Stadium. It was a beautiful night for an outdoor concert and we had a blast! I love that we have daughters the same age and they get along so well.  2. LULUS: Lulus is my go-to spot for dresses. They always have such a great selection at reasonable prices. I usually order a few different styles and sizes to try on, then just keep my favorites. I have two events coming up in November and December, and these two dresses are definite keepers! Loira Midi Dress Celebration Time Navy Dress 3. LOFT: I had some time to kill before the dentist so I popped into Loft. I left with this denim dress...the material is a nice heavier weight and I think it will be super cute with boots. I also got 3 sweaters. Everything is on sale and they offer and additional teacher discount.  Denim Dress Fringe Sweater Floral Sweater Spacedye Sweater 4. SCHOOL PICTURES : We just got our sc...
