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 drama, romance, even murder!

Now I'm reading The Turn of the Key by Ruth Ware. I'm only a few pages in so I'm not sure yet if I like it. 


WHAT I'M LOVING

Jack went to golf camp this summer and it was his first time trying golf (aside from mini golf). When the camp ended, Brian took him for their first outing together. My dad was an avid golfer so seeing my boys hit the links together makes me smile.
Yesterday we made a last minute plan to visit my friend Jenna, who lives about a half hour away. She has a beautiful pool and the kids had a blast. I'm going to miss these impromptu summer hangs!

WHAT I'M REMINISCING ABOUT

Last week I had a girls trip to Charleston to celebrate our friend's birthday. We had a blast! I was looking forward to the trip for so long that now I'm bummed it's over. 


WHAT I'M DOING THIS WEEKEND

One last summer weekend in Hampton Bays, where I'll try not to think about all the work and stress that await for me next week!

Hope everyone has a great Labor Day weekend!

    That girl's trip sounds like so much fun! I enjoyed Summers at the Saint too.

                                   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...
