This Friday is a favorite because I'm off today and Monday and Tuesday. We didn't use all of our snow days so we have the extra long weekend. Laura and I are heading to Philadelphia today for a soccer tournament and then I'm hoping to get to the Hamptons for Monday/Tuesday. We've been doing some updates around the house - new furniture, fresh paint, new fixtures, etc. so I have some of those here to share. 

1. Refurbished Cabinet: I inherited this cabinet and I've had it for many years. It fit the space well and I like displaying our wedding china. But it is out dated and the dark wood didn't fit my aesthetic anymore. I found a local woman on facebook who specializes in refurbishing furniture. Some blue paint and gold hardware and it looks like a brand new piece! I love how it came out!

2. Sam Edelam Rowan Sandals: For those who follow Motherchic, I saw these on her last year and admired them. Now they are on sale at Nordstrom so I decided to go for it.

3. Trader Joes: My co-worker recommended this combo to me and it's such an easy weeknight meal. It is the Trader Joes chicken apple sausage combined with their Fiochetti (in the frozen section). First you slice and brown the sausage and then cook the Fiochetti in the same pan according to the directions. It only took about 10 minutes and the kids loved it. Next time I would make two bags of the Fiochetti to even out the pasta/sausage ratio. My co-worker adds in spinach but I didn't think the kids would go for it if I did that.

3.  Amazon Chandelier: We added this light fixture at the top of the stairs. I think it's so pretty and looks expensive (it's not!). 

4. Kendra Scott Jewelry: I'm loving the red/white/blue collection at Kendra Scott. They're so cute for Memorial Day and July 4th and summer in general. They're having a 25% off sale. I ordered a couple of necklaces and I'm hoping Laura doesn't steal them!

4. May School Events: Yesterday Laura had a pep rally and the 7th graders had to wear pink. She and her friends all wore hot pink "bob" wigs. I'm so happy she has a friend group with really nice girls. Then last night we had the National Junior Honor Society ceremony. Below is our annual pic with her bestie Juliana - this year and last year. 

5. Dudley Stephen Memorial Day Sale: Dudley Stephens is having a 25% sale. They have so many cute pullovers but I tried to retrain myself. I did snag a pair of shorts which I do need. The shorts come in navy and red and I loved both, but went with the red for our school color.

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...
