Hello Monday (September 28, 2026)

 

Hi Friends and Happy Monday!  I am here with Sarah and we are chatting about our weekends.  If you did too, linkup with us below!

 

Here is what our fall weekend looked like

 

 

Friday Night

 

It was our BIG Blackout Week....recapping Blackout 2026 tomorrow...until then...leaving you with this...

 

 

 Saturday

 

So...we could not rest yet...we were up bright and early for Eva's hockey game..it was with her girls' team...they did so well with an amazing win and Eva even scored two goals!

 Her bestie Francesca had slept over after Blackout so she came to the game too :)

 

 

After that, we headed home, packed up the car and headed to Merrimack for Homecoming.  Not sure if you are following the news but we were hit with a Nor'easter this weekend here...we were so lucky the rain and wind held out until after our Blackout game...but Saturday not so much...the wind kept blowing our Blackstone out so the plan of Breakfast Tacos and Potatoes was out the window :/

 

with Kathleen (Diana's roommate's mom)

So what did we do....we pivoted when my family got there...we headed into the stadium and grabbed chicken fingers, fries and beer....all just amazing and hit the spot!  Then we headed to the stands to watch our girl do her thang!  When I saw the team on their knees praying before the game, I was reminded once again why this school is so great for Diana :)

 

 

 

My Girrrlll....so proud!

 We stayed for the first half only then watched the rest on NESN at home...we didn't let the weather get in our way....it was great.  MC won 17-10!  WOOHOO MACK!

 

We did takeout for dinner then it was finally time to exhale and decompress.  Eva had a couple of besties over for a "Fall Sleepover" as they dubbed it.  Rob and I?  We went to bed....seriously I fell asleep around 5 before waking up for awhile but then slept again the rest of the night....it was finally time to catch up on rest after this very big week!

 

Sunday

 

We had a nice slow morning.  I made breakfast for the girls which was the perfect finale for their "fall sleepover"

 

 I got organized for the week and then Rob and Eva headed out for more hockey.  I headed down to Merrimack to bring some food to Diana and take her for lunch.

 

We enjoyed a sushi lunch and catching up...

 

After I dropped her back off at school, I went grocery shopping and then made the fam dinner.  I crashed early and hard!  Whoosh...what were you all up to?

Hello Monday (September 21, 2026)

 

Hi Friends and Happy Monday!  Sarah and I are so glad you are here!  If you chatted 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...

 

Friday

 

Rob, Papa and Eva took off in the afternoon for Vermont.  They were headed to Eva's hockey tournament with her girls' team.  I worked

 

I was running solo...with Remi of course :)

 

I had some besties over for apps and wine and we had a great night relaxing and catching up!

 

 

 

Saturday

 

I was up bright and early.   I picked up a bag of things from a friend's house and then I was off to North Andover.  I picked up my girl and we went for a Starbucks date and a drive around!  My heart was happy :)

 

We even drove by the house I grew up in, in Andover....ahhhh nostalgia :/

 

 We had a great time catching up.  I dropped her back at school, headed home to feed Remi then headed up to the high school for the home opener football game.  Lea had her fat head of Brooks ready to go...we took some silly pics :)

 

 Windham beat Alverine...it was a great game!

 

After that, I went home to relax for a bit then fed Remi and headed over to Red's to meet with Tina and Misty for dinner and catch up- it had been WAY too long!

 

 

 I crashed hard!  (with Remi of course)

 

Sunday

 

I was up bright and early.  I then headed over to Letizio Tower for our 2026 Windham Blackout Opening Ceremony!  It is officially here!

 

 The Flag Raising (including the Pediatric Cancer Flag).  They will also be lighting up the tower in GOLD each night for the month of September

 

Hayden sang The National Anthem for Us and did a beautiful job

 

 

 

 

After that, I headed to Walmart to pick up the annual mums we have with us all week

 

 Then I got the grocery shopping done and ordered pizza to be delivered to our volunteers during tee shirt distribution tomorrow.

 

I got home to unload everything and the rest of the fam got home too.  I made us ramen bowls for lunch...

 

 

 Then I got organized for the week and then enjoyed a nap- woohoo!

 

Last night, I got to see Eva's Hockey Game with her Co-Ed Team

 

 and finished the weekend watching Patrick Clancy on 60 Minutes.  Anyone else watch?  It was heart wrenching :(
