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.

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 ...

July 19, 2024 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...
