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 (the name cracks me up!) leggings in both red and charcoal gray. My friend highly recommended them and they get rave reviews. They are a Lululemon dupe.

Floral Summer Dress: I saw someone on Instagram with this Amazon dress and loved the colors and style. It hasn't arrived yet, but I'm hoping it looks half as cute on me.

Writing desk for USB Port: Laura needed a new a desk and this one fit the small space perfectly. She uses it more as a vanity to store her skin care products. I'm hoping eventually it will be used more as a writing desk1

Reusable Water Balloons: These reusable water balloons were another Prime Day purchase. We had a heat wave at the beginning of the week and used these to keep the kids cool at camp. My kids also love taking them to the pool. They seem to be the water toy of the summer!

Laura plays flag football on Tuesday nights, and this week it was a beautiful evening to be outside. I enjoyed my book while she was practicing with her team. Speaking of books, I finished Elin Hildebrand's book Swan Song and loved it! If you're an Elin fan, I highly recommend!

Thanks for reading. Have a great weekend!

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 ...
