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!

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...

October 24, 2025 1. GIRL TIME: My college bestie and I took our daughters to the Shawn Mendez concert at Forest Hill Stadium. It was a beautiful night for an outdoor concert and we had a blast! I love that we have daughters the same age and they get along so well. 2. LULUS: Lulus is my go-to spot for dresses. They always have such a great selection at reasonable prices. I usually order a few different styles and sizes to try on, then just keep my favorites. I have two events coming up in November and December, and these two dresses are definite keepers! Loira Midi Dress Celebration Time Navy Dress 3. LOFT: I had some time to kill before the dentist so I popped into Loft. I left with this denim dress...the material is a nice heavier weight and I think it will be super cute with boots. I also got 3 sweaters. Everything is on sale and they offer and additional teacher discount. Denim Dress Fringe Sweater Floral Sweater Spacedye Sweater 4. SCHOOL PICTURES : We just got our sc...
