Hello Monday (March 16, 2026)

 

Hi Friends and Happy Monday!  Sarah and I are so glad you stopped by!  If you blogged about your weekends, grab our graphic above and link back up with us below...c'mon it'll be fun! 

Here is what our little weekend looked like...Winter is still hanging on...Boo...can't wait to be able to tell you that Spring is here...anyway, I digress...back to this weekend...

 

Friday Night

 

Rob brought Eva to her indoor softball game up in Epsom.  Diana worked and I took Lynn out for her birthday.  We enjoyed dinner at Dreo complete with so many laughs and Mama stories.  Grateful for my people who I can raise my kids with for sure~ 

Saturday

 

We were up bright and early to enjoy our coffee/tea and enjoy the latest episode of Love Story- so good!

 

Diana started her homework and Rob, Eva and I headed to her besties' basketball game - we love to support our friends- it takes a village 

After the game, we went to grab Papa Bob his birthday gift then headed back home.  I started working on Blackout 2026 Sponsorship Work

 

Then Rob and I headed to our tax appointment- fun fun

 

After that, we headed home and watched an episode of Brothers and Sisters.  I got us Chinese takeout.  I just wanted a soup- battling a cold- got so rundown after this rough week.  

Diana worked and then headed out with friends.  Rob headed out to his gig and Pidge, Remi and I crashed early. 

Sunday

 

We were all up bright and early.  I couldn't sleep in.  Rob and Eva got up to get ready for softball.  Diana was up at 6:15 to get ready to head into Boston for the St. Patty's Parade with her friends so I couldn't sleep.  I got up and got ready and headed to 7:30 mass then grabbed a tea at Nutrition Corner. 

When I got home, I got organized for the week, did some more Blackout Work and watched Sweet Magnolias. Even though I am already all caught up on this show, it always puts me in a good mood- so light and full of love and joy- just what the doctor ordered

Later on, we were chilling and I made us dinner

 

Chicken Vesuvio

 

Couple shots from the parade- living their best lives

 

Rob and Eva headed to the gym for a quick workout 

 

Then we grabbed some festive McFlurry's for dessert- the Shamrock McFlurry

 

 

 It was a pretty chill weekend which I needed...what were you all up to?

Friday Favorites (March 13, 2026)

 

Hi Friends and Happy Friday!  Friday the 13th? Well let's just not mention it shall we?  We are treading lightly...it is March and all...anyway, here are a few faves from our week....short and sweet...

 

 

MEMEs/Images That Brought Me A Smile

 

Grammy's Anniversary

 

This week marked 8 years since my mother in law passed- we visit her often, at the cemetery down the street, but we miss her all the time.  We feel her presence, always, especially as we celebrate special moments with the girls.

 

  

Diana's College Cheer Signing at WHS

 

Last night, we attended Diana's very last Sports Awards Night at WHS.  At these awards, they also hold ceremonies for athletes who are signing to play a sport at the college level.  Diana got to sign last night.  It was very special.  The grandparents were all in tow and we enjoyed the ceremony and then the Sports Awards right after.  We all agreed that we know so many of the kids after attending so many games and you find yourself celebrating all of their victories!

 

 

Can I be raw and candid here for a moment friends?  Yesterday ended up being a really hard day for us.  Thank God we had this special ceremony at night to cheer us all up.  I kept thinking back to Tuesday and how it was one of my favorite days personally and professionally and then yesterday everything seemed to fall apart- work wise- kid wise- drama and heartbreak and such- I felt the hits just keep on coming- checked if there was a full moon- there wasn't- then I really started questioning my faith- I have been lately and it got real yesterday- I have never had doubts like I have recently and that makes me sad- anyway- onward and upward- no other choice

 

Have a wonderful weekend XOXO 

10 on the 10th!

 

Hi Friends!  Years ago I would participate in a 10 on the 10th linkup where you would share 10 photos, in chronological order, from the 10th of the month.  It was really fun to see how my blogging friends would spend their days.  That linkup is long gone but I see friends do something similar from time to time here.  Who knows, maybe I will start up another 10 on the 10th linkup-we shall see!

 

I was lucky enough to remember that the 10th was upon me and I actually remembered to snap pics all day!  

 

It was the perfect day to do so.  I had some exciting work things going on.  The girls were off from school for our town election day AND....the BEST PART?  It was 71 degrees and sunny out- can I get a what what??  Ha ha!! 

 

So I give you my 10 from the 10th of March 2026!

 

Devotionals and Prayers- Reading Blogs- Jumping On My Work Day Early Early! 

 

Sucked Down My Protein Coffee in 5 Minutes- ha!

 

 It was already an awesome work week by Tuesday!  I had some productive sales calls AND picked up a new search so I was giddy even before our really fun team meeting :)

Lunchtime was for my next three photos- Time to Vote- Eva and her besties were in tow because they got to vote between a school dance and a movie night- can you guess what they all voted for?

 

Food at their Fave- Chic Fil A

 

and a quick trip to Griffin Park to enjoy the warmth and sunshine- they played manhunt while I went for a power walk 

 

 

Back to work and back at my desk

 

 A Day with the Windows Open is a WIN in my book!

 

 

 My Best Boy is always nearby :)

 

 Dinner was Homemade Taco Bell (Copycat) Burritos

 

 and...that's a wrap!

 

*Election Results- disappointing again- for the third time, over the last several years, our track failed- our town is really difficult and I often wonder why we still live here- our taxes keep going up and our D1 High School does not have the athletic facilities to support it- I guess I stay because I have no choice right now and the people, for the most part, are great.  Anyway, I digress.  Eva and her friends at least got their wish.  They voted for a school dance and that choice won by ALOT :) *
