Heather's Curly Cues

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...

WHAT WE'RE EATING THIS WEEK With all the practices, it's been hard to have a regular dinner routine so been picking something up or having leftovers, cold cuts, pasta, etc. I'm hoping to get back on track with meal planning when school starts. This week Brian made tuna and rice using tuna we had in the freezer. Our friends in the Hamptons caught a tuna and generously shared it with us. There was so much that we ate some of it fresh and then froze some tuna steaks. Brian and Jack LOVED it!  WHAT I'M WATCHING/READING We just started watching Bad Monkey with Vince Vaughan. He plays a detective who is on leave and not supposed to be doing police work, but he still manages to get mixed up in a murder investigation. It's funny and quirky. We watched The Devil Wears Prada with the kids. Laura didn't want to watch it at first, but ended up really liking it! I just finished Summers at The Saint by Mark Kay Andrews and loved it! It takes place at a resort and has family d...

August 16, 2024 My first favorite today has to be this guy. It's Brian's birthday tomorrow and we're celebrating by having friends over tonight. I have the Kona Ice Truck coming as a surprise! Tomorrow we're going out as a family for hibachi.  It's no secret that I'm a huge New Kids on the Block fan. They played at Jones Beach and I had VIP tickets. Getting to experience their show (again) with my some of my oldest and dearest friends was one of my favorites of the summer!  I have more time in the summer to do some small home project sand redecorating. I freshened up our lounge with some new pillows and a new coffee table from Walmart. I had been eying the table for awhile and it was out of stock, and one day I checked and it was back! It says it is out of stock now, but if you're interested check back now and then.  Linen Throw Pillows from Amazon :  Coffee Table with Storage by Drew Barrymore : One of the projects I did this summer was an update of our fir...
