    This week is extra special because my cousin's twin daughters from Ireland are here staying with us. We've been looking forward to their visit for months! We're having so much fun showing them around New York. They are big Harry Potter fans so on Sunday we took them to the city to see Harry Potter and the Cursed Child on Broadway. It was fantastic! 
WHAT WE'RE EATING THIS WEEK...
    Laura LOVES Ramen, so on our city adventure day we went to Ichiran. The line is usually around the corner but we got there before a little before they opened and didn't have to wait. Instead of tables, they have these individual dining booths. It was outstanding! 
WHAT I'M READING....
    I'm currently reading the Summer Pact by Emily Giffin. It's about four friends who meet in college, share a traumatic experience, and vow to always be there for each other. Fast forward ten years later they are all at a crossroads in their lives and come back together. It's a quick, easy read and I'm enjoying it. 
WHAT I'M WATCHING...
    I'm probably the only person who is isn't watching the Olympics. I'm not binging any shows at the moment. This week I watched A Family Affair with Nicole Kidman and Zac Efron. It reminded me of The Idea of You....same premise with an older woman and her relationship with a younger man and the impact it has on her daughter. It was cute. 
WHAT I'M DREADING....
    Back to School. For all my teacher friends out there, you know what I mean! I'm trying not to think about it and enjoy the next couple of weeks. I'm extra anxious about this fall because Jack is playing hockey AND football for the first time and Laura is playing travel soccer and it is going to be a LOT! 
WHAT I'M EXCITED ABOUT....
    I have VIP meet and greet tickets to see the New Kids on the Block next weekend and I CANNOT wait. I pulled my NKOTB gear out of the closet and I am ready!
Thanks for reading!

                                   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...
