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!

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...
