Friday Favorites (October 23, 2026)

 

Hi Friends and Happy Friday!  We made it!  Woohoo!

 As always, sharing a few faves from our week...

 

Rail Trail

 

Yes..all year long but there is something about the Fall...the golden light...the glow..the orange....ahhh

 

 

 

 

Fro Yo

 

When there is a half day, a fro yo date is a must!

 

 

My Hubby

 

So proud of him ...he had a great conference up north and I saw his company post this pic!

 

 

 

My Bub and Faithful Companion

 

 Remi gave us a big scare and I am almost crumbled completely...French Bulldogs are prone to spine issues and a disease called IVDD.  One morning he was shaking and hanging his head and wouldn't come to see us in the kitchen which is so so wrong and not him at all...Rob rushed him to the emergency vet...they couldn't find any issues just yet but said it could be the start of spinal trouble...he is on meds and ordered to "rest." Friends?  That is like telling me to rest...and he has more energy than I do!  He loves to jump on the beds and run up and down the stairs...jump on the couches...you get it.  For now, we have our upstairs blocked off with our kitchen chairs...he still gets up on the couch here and there but he is much less mobile for the next few weeks until he finishes his meds...we have to keep him mobile and healthy...I would die without him :/ I am glad he is ok for now and we have caught things early

Holding On To "The Beach"

 

Any way I can my friends....

 

 

Cryo Thermo Firming Gel

 

 I am going to share my Tik Tok finds that I support and that have worked for me.  If you follow me on Tik Tok then I am sure you have seen some of my videos.  I am obsessed with this firming gel.  You put it on your body and you can feel it tingling- it is supposed to add moisture and help to tighten up "crepey" skin...I have already seen a difference in the last couple of months.  Highly recommend.  Including the link here and in full disclosure, I will get a small commission if you purchase it.

Have an amazing weekend friends! XO

Wednesday Hodgepodge

 

 Hi Friends!  I am joining Joyce for her weekly hodgepodge of questions...shall we get to them?

 

1. This week's Hodgepodge lands on 'Back To The Future Day'. October 21, 2015 was the date the movie characters (Marty McFly, Doc, and Jennifer Parker) traveled to in the future in the 1989 film Back To The Future Part 2. 

 Did you see the movie? Tell us a something about what was happening in your life in the fall of 2015. 

 

 

 I haven't seen the sequels which is strange because the first one is in my Top 5 of Favorite Movies of all time...go figure!

 

In the Fall of 2015, I had a 7 year old and a 1 year old-  WOW...

 

 

 

Professionally, I had started at Willmott this year...and I am still there almost 12 years later!

 

2. Which -ber month is your favorite? (September, October, November, December). Explain why. 

 

 September...it's my birthday month...it is typically Back To School and the weather is still beautiful enough for beach and pool time and more time outside here in New England

 

3. Red, yellow, orange, bronze...your favorite fall color to wear? To eat? To see in nature? 

 

 

 Favorite to wear- bronze

Favorite to eat- orange

Favorite to see in nature- orange 

 

 

4. What do you miss most about being 20? 

 

 

Being in college...always surrounded by people...always something to do...such happy times

 

 

5. We're roughly three quarters of the way through the year. What's one goal, habit, or mindset you want to purposely carry into the final weeks of the year? Elaborate. 

I want to continue on my weight loss journey and keep losing weight...not stopping...for me it's about balance...allowing myself the things I love just smaller portions and more moderation with regular exercise  

 

Some Before Pics

 and...Some After Pics!

 

 

6. Insert your own random thought here. 

 

 

 

Love you Joyce and love this linkup...but...most of the time, when I get to this question/prompt I go blank!  So much pressure- ha ha!  So I am turning this one around on all of YOU.   Share a random thought please.  Make me laugh.  Talk about anything...I am here for it! ;)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hello Monday (October 19, 2026)

 

Hi Friends and Happy Monday!  I am here with Sarah and we are chatting about our weekends.  If you did too, grab our graphic above and link back up with us below!

 

Here is what our Fall Weekend looked like...

 

Friday Night

 

I ran an open house in the next town over then headed home to change, picked up Eva's friend and took them to grab some dinner at Chic Fil A.  We then headed home and they watched the Celtics and had all kinds of fun.  

 

Rob had a gig.  I took my dinner up to bed and turned on Hallmark for the first time this season- no shame.  I was absolutely exhausted from a productive week and I was asleep by 7:30- eek!

 

 

Saturday

 

We were up bright and early.   I headed to the nearby real estate office to drop off some signs I borrowed for the open house then headed home to hang with the girls for a bit.

 

Then it was time to head out- Rob took the girls to Eva's hockey game and I met Lea and the crew for breakfast and then we headed to the football game.  It was their PINK game :) 

 

The Jags dominated over Nashua and won 38-0.

 

 Meanwhile, Diana headed to a farm with her sorority sisters where they hit the pumpkin patch and apple orchard- so cute

After that,  I headed home to get started on dinner.  My parents were coming up.

 

Rob brought Eva to her friend's house as her parents were taking a group of them to the Olivia Rodrigo concert at the Boston Garden- complete with a limo ride and private suite courtesy of the mom's company...these girls were living their best lives!

 

and Eva kills me!  She had our friend April take her picture in front of the Bobby Orr Statue at The Garden- love this kid!

We had a cozy Saturday night with my parents- so good for the soul!  We were in bed early....yeah!!  

 

Sunday

 

We slept in a bit then it was time for more hockey.  I got to see most of Eva's first game with her girls team- though the game ended in a tie, Eva scored and they played so well!  Rob and his Dad stayed for the 2nd game which was with her co-ed team.

 

 Sunday Morning Warmups

 

I headed down to MC to pick up Diana and we met Cass and Alexis for brunch- Lex was home for the weekend for a concert and it was a great chance to catch up and spend some QT together!

 

 After that, I brought Diana back to school and then headed home for a quiet day to rest and recover.  I did some organizing and purging.

 

Rob left for a business trip...up at the Mount Washington Hotel...lucky duck!

Eva and I enjoyed a quiet night at home with Remi and leftovers :)

 

What were you all up to?
