Hi Friends! I am bopping in today just to let you know that Thursday is monthly musings! This month, Patty and I are talking all things Spring Fashion- one of my favorite topics! We hope you will join us as we answer the questions below...
Hope to see you back here then!
Hi Friends and Happy Monday! I am here with Sarah and we are chatting about our weekends. If you did the same, please grab our graphic above and link back up with us below. C'mom! It'll be fun :)
Here is what our little weekend looked like...
Friday Night
It was My Mama's Birthday so my Dad took us all out to Davio's in Lynnfield. We had a spectacular meal and my brother made us laugh as hard per usual that our stomachs hurt- ha!
After dinner, we headed back to my parents to sing Happy Birthday and my mom could enjoy her cake. It was a great night of celebrating!
Diana was with the cheerleaders in Worcester. They took a bus and stayed in a hotel overnight for Regionals. It was one last time for some camaraderie and fun!
Saturday
Happy Birthday Papa Bob!
Rob headed out to do some yard work. We are prepping for the prom in a few weeks and want to make sure the yard is clean. I headed to Home Depot to pick up some flowers to plant but nothing was out yet- still too early- boo! I then headed to get gifts for the cheer coaches as our end-of-season banquet is this week.
I then got us takeout for lunch and watched a series my parents recommended- only three episodes- Adolescence on Netflix. Wow! It is dark and scary but I couldn't stop watching. It is about a teen killing another teen. Yikes.
Anyway...quick pic of my loves :)
Then my parents got to our house and it was time to hit the road for the Regionals/New Englands Cheer Comp in Worcester.
Ally and Alex making it more fun ;)
The Routine
It was really fun. We did get to catch a good amount of teams. Windham did well but did not place and no one expected them to. Only the top 2 in each division go to Nationals. It was a great end to a fabulous season. We were really happy for Diana because she had a blast and this season brought her so much joy and really helped her to establish some goals for college. So part of our college process now is meeting with cheer peeps and learning the requirements. It is kinda fun even if she doesn't end up cheering. It is something to work towards for sure.
We crashed as soon as we got home!
Sunday
Rob and I were up first thing and headed to our much dreaded tax appointment- BOO. Gotta say, however, I had myself so worked up but it ended up being not so bad. Our tax person Judee is always so helpful and calming. Just glad it is over.
After that, we picked up Pidge and headed to mass with Papa. Diana headed to her first job.
After mass, we drove right into Boston to take Papa to the North End to celebrate his birthday. We enjoyed a nice lunch at Artu and then walked over to Bova's so he could have his request- pasteries! If you are ever in the area, Bova is the best Italian Bakery in the North End and it is the only one that is not a tourist trap- it is a family run Italian bakery which is open 24 hours and has the best pastries, cookies, breads, pizza and more!
We then headed home to relax for a bit and then it was time for one more event for the weekend (yes tiring- ha!) It was the middle school championship ice hockey game! Windham won! They are the champs and Eva was on Cloud 9. My parents met us there so we all went to support her and she was thrilled. It was such an exciting game!
Diana worked her 2nd job. Yes we crashed early and hard last night. What were you all up to?
Leaving you with a little chuckle...this is something we saw on Tik Tok...with babies...but Rob and Eva decided to recreate it...Slice O Cheese always does the trick ;)
Hi Friends and Happy Friday and most importantly- Happy Birthday to My Momma and our Mimi! Woohoo...we are celebrating tonight..can't wait...she is truly forever young...
and here are some faves from our week...

Next Stop New Englands this weekend- woohoo!
Rail Trail
I had missed it...I have been so busy that I let my days get away from me and hadn't been in like a week...felt so great to get back this week and to bring a long my little sidekick...though he was too excited...he pretty much beat me up...ha!
Remi
Speaking of my sidekick, with Rob's new job, I am the only one in the house now during the day so he is STUCK with me...ha! We have become even closer if that is possible...just love my little buddy :)
Under Contract!
So with my first listing, I learned so so much. I felt like I learned more in one week than I did in my three month real estate class. I really enjoyed the selling side of the transaction. It is not over until we close in May but I loved the open houses and showings and signage and answering questions and learning from my amazing boss Laura. Best of all I got to help some best friends and they are very happy and said that I made the process very easy FTW! We went under contract in 6 days!
and my bestie Janie supporting me as always...she is truly one in a million
Book Club #37
It was my turn to host and we read "The Let Them Theory" by Mel Robbins. The book is life changing...check it out!
That's a wrap! We have a busy weekend here- celebrating my mom's bday tonight and Papa Bob's on Sunday and in between we are all headed to the New England Cheer competition in Worcester Mass- woohoo! Have a great one friends!
