Hello Monday and Hello Summah! (June 22, 2026)

 



Hi Friends!  Happy Monday and Happy "Summah!" Weeee....we are here!  As every other 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 so we can see what you were up to!  C'mon it'll be fun...promise :)

 

Here is what our little weekend looked like...

 

Friday Night

 

It was time for Friday Night Pizza Night but before Diana and I indulged in our pizza and salad, we headed out to do some college shopping.  We made stops at 5 Below, Hobby Lobby and Home Goods.  We did pretty well!

 

We headed to 5 Below first because I saw the cutest pink cheetah trash basket that would go well in her room.  She and her roommate decided on a pink theme with cheetah accents. Not only did we score the trash basket, but we also found a matching pillow and blanket and a great storage ottoman!  She also picked up the cutest little framed print that reads "How Lucky Are We" which are lyrics from one of her favorite Zach Bryan songs.

 

Our next stop was Hobby Lobby and she got one of those weighted stuffed animals for her bed and a jewelry organizer for her desk/vanity.  We spotted this mirror and she said she wanted a full length one of this exact one.  So...I started doing my research and found a similar one on Amazon that I will purchase during Prime Days and I ordered a decal, with those exact words, from an artist on Etsy so I will stick the decal on the mirror when it comes in! 

 


 

After that, we went home to eat then headed out to get a couple of Father's Day essentials and stop at Home Goods.  We only picked up a couple of small things for her there- some hangers and a glass holder for Q Tips.  We were underwhelmed there.

 

We will hit Target and Walmart at some point too but we think most of the purchases will happen on Amazon during the big sale next week- fingers crossed!

 

When shopping was done, we curled up to watch an episode of Smash before Mama feel asleep before 8- ha!

 

Saturday

 


 

It was softball allll day for Pidge!  We headed up to Barrington first thing and we were up there for the day- three games with her town tournament team.  They lost all three-not a great day but love being on the field and watching my girl do what she loves!

We got the cutest pics sent to us of Sylvie attending some summer festival- look at our beautiful little patriotic girl- precious!

 


 

When we got home, we Door Dashed Reds...we were wiped!  Eva had mac and cheese and we enjoyed their awesome Steak Gorgonzola salads.  Diana worked and then headed out to two grad parties and had a blast!

 

We crashed early and hard!

 

Sunday

 

Happy Father's Day! and Happy SUMMAH!

 


These are our 3 GOATs! :)

 

My Dad Pete


 

 My Father In Law Bob


 

 My Hubby Rob


 

 Rob, Papa and Eva headed up north for more softball.  I headed to grab coffee and breakfast sandwiches with Diana and we caught up on her fun night.  Then I headed to mass.

 

When I got home, I caught up on prayers and blogging.

 

A little while later, the gang was home from softball and... 

 

 we celebrated our favorite Dads with Chinese Food and Ice Cream Cake and treats.  So sad I didn't get any pics with our Dads but we were able to snap one of Rob and his kids (and granddaughter) :)

 


 So fun!   What were you all up to?

Friday Favorites (June 19, 2026)

 


 

Hi Friends and Happy Friday!  I can't even believe it has already been a week since Diana graduated...this week of getting back into the swing of things and exhaling has proved to be exhausting...ha!  Or maybe it was all of the activity with our adrenaline carrying us that finally caught up to us?  Either way...happy to see the weekend!  Here are a few recent faves...





 

Eva

 

She crushed 6th grade!  As she wrapped up school, she managed to balance it all: her school work, hockey, softball and a social life.  She is our Easy Kid and as long as we let her go go go...she doesn't complain :) I can't believe she is done with elementary school!














and...I can't believe she will be in middle school in August!  Eek!







 

Diana

 

Still living off that grad high...kind of depressed that school is over...she said she loved high school so much and wish she could go more...guess that is a good sign?  She completed her orientation at Merrimack and she is keeping busy working...working out for cheer and socializing of course...love the pics that were sent to me by other parents from this exciting time...and some flashbacks :)














 




 

MEMEs
 













Cooking

 

I always love it...it's therapeutic for me and a way for me to be creative...even during crazy busy times...these are some pineapple chicken tacos I whipped up during grad week...yum!

 



 




Rail Trail

 

Ahhh....best way to decompress while getting my steps in...and I actually had some company one day this week :)

 

 



 




Popcorn Favors

 

They were a big hit at Diana's Party and I found this pic in my camera roll...glad I did..disappointed that I forgot to capture all of my sentimental work.  We had pink and yellow popcorn bags (half looked like this with strawberry popcorn) and the other half had bags that read "Thanks for Popping By- Diana Class of 2026" with butter popcorn and caramel popcorn. Our theme was Pink and Gold.

 

 

 
 
 
 
 This reminded me to share a post I created for Instagram... a then and now if you will....sending her off to kindergarten and now we will be sending her off to college...in the blink of an eye...
 



 

 
 
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 Have a wonderful weekend friends XO

A Day In The Life

 



Hi Friends!  I am joining Joyce for her Day In The Life linkup.  I am capturing this past Tuesday the 16th.

 

Here is what my little day looked like... 

 


 

Rob and Diana headed off to Merrimack for Day 2 of her orientation.  Eva headed off to school for one of her very last days this year and I got praying, blogging and working!

 



Real Estate Meeting First Thing!

 


 

 

and then Team Meeting for My Full Time Job



 

 Lunchtime meant taking the dog out, stopping to smell the roses (metaphorically) and making dinner which was Steak Tacos with Rice.  I used this recipe HERE as a guideline.

 


 

 Back to work...and a quick glance to appreciate our yard this time of year


 

 That night meant a Fro Yo treat and diving into another episode of Smash and starting Season 5 of Sweet Magnolias!

 


 Pretty basic and boring day...we are still recovering from our big graduation weekend.
