Hi Friends! I am here with Amy and her fun linkup as we share what's happening with us...currently. This month, we are sharing what we: are saying "NO" to, Thanking For, Eating/Drinking, Cozying Up To (literally or figuratively) and Watching/Reading...so let's get to it!
Saying "No" To
Over-extending myself...protecting my energy and peace and making sure I invest my time where I find JOY and don't have to kill myself to get it!
Thanking For
Having Diana so close to home...thanking God for her wonderful college experience thus far...and for Eva's great middle school experience thus far...just grateful
Eating/Drinking
Eating Protein- Veggies- Fat and Fiber...enjoying a glass of wine or two on the weekends...and still loving our Friday Night Pizza Nights! A new place in town has my new fave pizza. It is called "The Drunken Uncle" and it is essentially a Margherita Pizza with vodka sauce on it- delish!
Cozying Up To (Literally or Figuratively)
Hallmark Movies- tis' the season!
Watching/Reading
See answer above and I am reading "The Thorougbreds" by Elin Hilderbrand and her daughter Shelby Cunningham this month
Hi Friends and Happy Friday! Yeah! Favorite Day of the Week! Here are some recent faves...
ChatGPT Prompt
Have you tried this? Scary how dead on it is...
Ask Who I Think I Am, Who The People Closest To Me Probably See, Who Strangers Think I Am and The Real Me (Hidden Inside That No One Really Knows)
MEMEs
Voting!
We voted! Gronk voted! Did you? Rob and I met at our polls at lunchtime and so glad we did!
It was thrilling to see Gronk at our polls...he is just as big as you would imagine after seeing him on tv- NH had an initiative to send retired famous athletes to the polls to encourage people to get out and vote and it worked- our polls were well attended all day and night! Voting is such a privilege.
Date Night!
This week, Eva was at science camp with her school through Wednesday so Rob and I got a true taste of what empty nesting will be like and honestly friends? It wasn't as bad as I had feared.
Now I am going to go off on a little tangent. Rob and I have never been alone...we never had that luxury. When we started dating, he had three kids so we have always been raising kids together. That is what made me more nervous about being alone and being without kids. Call me crazy. Anyway, though I have been dreading that alone time, I can tell you, we thoroughly enjoyed our time together and slept SO WELL! We truly got to catch up without flying around to practices, etc. We talked about work in great detail and even enjoyed a date night together on Tuesday night!
Lea and Mike had given him a gift card to Windham Gourmet for his birthday so we bopped on over there for some delicious sandwiches for dinner. It was a great night.
First, the fit...
The meal
and just us :)
Rail Trail
Our weather was glorious this week! I was able to get outside for a walk at lunchtime a couple of days and even took Remi one day! Just beautiful and refreshing
and Yoga and Lifting were pretty awesome this week too....
Lunch at Mimi and Papa's
So mad I didn't snap a pic or two...my mom made me a wonderful fall lunch...annual tradition...we enjoyed her Veal Piccata, Lobster Fettuccine, Fall Salad and Sour Cream Corn Bread. For dessert, she made her Pumpkin Toll House Cake...to say I was stuffed was an understatement! Everything was so delish but the company even better. My dad is a bit sick but I hope he bounces back quickly- he is in great shape for his age (85) ...just don't like to see him slowing down...I know I am spoiled. I also came home with a HUGE Halloween bucket for Pidge...she was thrilled!
Eva's Home!
She had a blast at science camp but I was so happy to pick her up Wednesday...loved that she had a great time...we enjoyed our couple of days of empty-nesting but glad that she is home and back in the swing of things!
MC Basketball Home Opener
and Diana was chosen to cheer at it. The cheer team alternates the members during basketball season so she was thrilled to be able to perform for the home opener and....I went to surprise her...so fun!
That's a wrap...have a wonderful weekend friends and one more thing...
BONUS POST! I will be back tomorrow with this month's edition of Currently...Amy's link up...be sure to stop by here to see what is happening here...currently!
Hi Friends! I have been working on gathering my content on this topic. I have tried several different skincare products on Tik Tok because they are so much more affordable than the department stores.
A recent trend and one I have fully embraced is Korean Skincare. Now, don't get me wrong, I have tried a few products where I have not seen a difference and quite frankly, didn't like them. Those are the ones I will not mention.
At my age, it is all about hydration, collagen and firming up! Who is with me?
The products I am sharing with you today are the ones I have tried, loved and are now using regularly. So follow along!
I am including links should you decide to purchase and just know/disclaimer: I receive a small commission for any of those purchases.
Welcome to The Pink Lady! I'm so happy you're here!
I'm a New England wife, proud mom, recruiter by day, and lifestyle blogger by heart. Here you'll find easy family recipes, favorite finds, faith, travel adventures, celebrations, and all the little moments that make life sweet.
Whether you're looking for tonight's dinner, a great Amazon find, or just stopping by for Friday Favorites, I hope you'll grab a cup of coffee and stay awhile.
I'm so glad you're here!
💗 Holly
