1). NYC: Happy Friday! This month is flying by and I can't believe the holidays are around the corner. We had off from school on Tuesday for Veteran's Day so I took Laura, Jack and my niece into the city. We went to Bryant Park, Rockefeller Center, and visited Brian and my sister at their offices. It was a great day and I hope one that they'll always remember. 

We went to St. Patrick's Cathedral and lit candles in my Dad's memory. While we were there I had the girls recreate a photo that my sister and I took many years ago. They even copied our sullen expressions!

2). Old Navy Fleece Sweatshirt: I'm loving this fleece mock turtleneck from Old Navy. It reminds me of Dudley Stephens but at a much lower price point. I bought the hot pink and the red, which I think will be nice for the holidays.

3). Aspen and Arlo: My friend introduced me to Aspen and Arlo, and now I'm obsessed with their wrapping paper. They have fun sports-themed prints and I purchased soccer for Laura and hockey and baseball for Jack. I also couldn't resist the hydrangea paper for birthdays or other occasions.

4). 67 Wrapping Paper: If your kids are like mine and think "67" is the funniest thing ever (I don't get it!?) here's another fun wrapping paper option from Walmart.

5). All Her Fault on Peacock: We started watching this show this week. I'm two episodes in and I'm hooked. I can't wait to watch this weekend. If you're looking for something to binge this weekend, I highly recommend. 

6). Lasagna Soup: I made this lasagna soup this week and it was a hit. Laura even brought leftovers for lunch. Brian told me it reminded him of Chef Boyardee and I should take that as a compliment! Lol.

Have a great weekend!

                                   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...
