What We're Eating This Week

Laura was under the weather with a cold so I made this lemon chicken orzo soup. I've made it several times and it's always a hit in our house. You can find the recipe here.

What I'm Excited About

Last Thursday the New Kids on the Block announced a residency in Las Vegas. The pre-sale started yesterday and I snagged 2 tickets in the 4th row for the June 28th show. Brian and I are headed to Vegas! I've been there several times but not in many years. I'm looking forward not only to the concert but to our weekend away.

Speaking of concerts, Laura and I are heading to this "We Can Survive" concert on Saturday with my college bestie and her daughter. This will be Laura's first real concert and I'm excited to experience it with her.

What I'm Watching/Reading

I'm currently reading The Turn of the Key by Ruth Ware. I'm about a third of the way into it, and it's just okay so far. I'm hoping to carve out some reading time this weekend and the book will start to pick up.

I'm a true crime junkie, and I'm watching Into the Fire on Netflix. It's about a woman who gave her daughter for adoption only to find out she went missing at 14.

What I'm Wearing

First, I'm clearly terrible at taking selfies, but wanted to show you this cute top from Amazon. It's a lightweight sweater and perfect for the fall weather.

What We've Been Up To

On Saturday night we went for a sunset cruise on our neighbor's boat. It was a gorgeous night and we had a great time.

Hockey is back in full swing. Jack had two games this past weekend. Hockey is my favorite sport to watch so I'm loving it. I don't love the early mornings, but it's worth it.

That's what's up on this Wednesday. 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...
