What I've Been Up To...

Last weekend my friend Cat and I headed into New York City to see Joe McIntyre in a solo performance. He put on a great show! I'm really liking his new Freedom album and I always love an excuse to wear my NKOTB merch.

What I'm Reading......

I recently finished Sandwich by Catherine Newman and wow, did it resonate with me. It's about a mother navigating a new phase in life where her children are grown and her parents are aging. The story takes place during their annual family vacation to Cape Cod. My children aren't grown (yet) but I know I'll be in that phase one day too.

My book club read this month is Broken Country by Clare Leslie Hall. I just started it but I think it's going to be good!

What I'm Watching...

I'm obsessed with the Karen Read trial. For those of you not familiar, Karen is accused of running over her boyfriend John O'Keefe (a Boston police officer) after a night of drinking. I'm still not sure if she did it or if she was framed by corrupt police officers.

What I'm Listening To...

I've been binging the 20/20 podcast "Bad Rap - The Case Against Diddy." I grew up listening to 90s hip hop and I'm enjoying this podcast more than I thought I would. It's crazy what he got away with for so many years.

What I'm Eating...

Last night I made Trader Joe's pesto chicken cutlets and served them with rice. I cooked the chicken in a pan with a little bit of olive oil but they'd be great on the grill.

What I'm Reminiscing About...

We had an amazing spring break trip to Baha Mar in the Bahamas. I wish we could go back!

Have a wonderful Wednesday!

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...
