Friday Favorites (July 10, 2026)

 

Happy Friday Friends!  I am so happy to see this day.  I have been sick all week with a sinus infection...completely run down so I am looking forward to some rest and recovery with just a few things on the calendar this weekend.

 

Before the weekend is upon us, here are a few faves from our week... 

 

Triple Threat Theater Camp

 

and...we are back!  My girls are LOVING their time there... 

and friends?  I haven't seen this kinda happiness in awhile...warms my heart!

 

 

Lunch Date!

 

Rob was off on Monday...I wasn't...so to do something special together we enjoyed a lunch date!  It was just what the doctor ordered.  We had a nice outdoor meal at Tuscan Market.  I got the Chicken Milanese and Rob got the Chicken Parm...it was so yummy and I got another meal out of mine! 

Then he wanted to try this ice cream place at the village too- Salt  & Straw.  Do you have one near you?  They have such unique flavors and most are only for a limited time.  He chose the "Strawberry Pretzel Salad".  It was a cream cheese based ice cream with strawberry jam and graham crackers in it- he loved it- I took a bite and loved it too- yum!

 

 

The Blackstone

 

 

Friends?  This has quickly become a family and friend fave.  Highly recommend...so so easy to whip up dinner on this bad boy.  This is only a tabletop version. They have large, stand alone versions too that can cook so much food on them at one time!

 

 

 

My Patriotic Tea Cup

 

Nuff said ;)

 

 

College Dorm Organizing

 

Almost have enough courage to start recording our dorm haul- Eva is prepared to film it all and do the editing for me so I can post and share.  We were thrilled to find that the fridge and microwave we got Diana fit on this shelf.  All three purchases were scored during Amazon Prime Days FTW!

 

 

 

 

Fave Bible Verse of the Week

 

 

 

 

 Best for Last!

 

Our 2026 Windham Blackout Tee Shirt Video was released this week!  I had a WHS student help me this year.  I did the filming and he did the editing and we love the finished product!  This is our WHY...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hello Monday and Hello Blackout 2025!

 

Hi Friends and Happy Monday!  As always, I am here with Sarah and we are chatting about our weekends.  Hope you will join us!

 

I am taking today to recap Blackout 2025!

 

We started at the School Board Meeting on Tuesday Night September 16th.  We spoke about Blackout and the monies we have raised over the last several years and then we presented the School Board with their shirts.

 

On Sunday September 21st, we officially kicked off Blackout Week 2025 with our Pediatric Cancer Flag Raising Ceremony at Letizio Tower in Town.

 

 

 

Then...time to grab the mums!

 

Monday, September 22nd was the Blackout Tee Shirt Pick Up at WHS.  We were there from 2pm-8pm...so tiring but so worth it!

 

 Then...a surprise for me from the town's Rec Director....it is everywhere!

 

Tuesday, September 23rd meant the Varsity Girls Soccer Blackout Game and then Shirt Pickup and Raffles at Common Man

 

 

 

 

 

Wednesday, September 24th meant selling leftover shirts to students at the WHS lunches.  

Then it was time for the Varsity Field Hockey Blackout Game...

 

 

Setting Up at Red's Blackout Ladies Trivia Night...

 

 and then the Girls Varsity Volleyball Blackout Game

 

 

The Varsity Boys Soccer Team had a Team Dinner and made a Blackout Banner- check out the pics they sent us :)

 

Thursday Night was time to set up the Honored Children's Banners. (The Varsity Boys Soccer Blackout Game was rained out and rescheduled)  

 

 

Friday was the BIG DAY

 

 

 One of my favorite parts of Blackout is that you spot shirts around town all day AND peeps send me pics all day too....enjoy...

 Our customary lunch at Red's and spotting a few more...

 

 

 and now time to get to work...at the field...

 

 

and still getting more pics...

 

 

and the food vendors started to arrive...

 

 

 

 

Let The Games Begin...

 

 

 

Recognizing Our Honored Families at Half Time

 

 It was epic....best yet in my opinion...can't wait to see the numbers but happy with the most ever sponsors...the most volunteers and the most student involvement...my heart is full...the rest of the weekend was rest in between hockey and softball games.  What were you all up to?
