What I'm Reminiscing About
Summers past.....
What I'm Loving
The Weather this summer in New England...although our golf tournament got postponed this past weekend, we really can't complain...it has been hot and sunny for the most part- my favorite kind of weather!
What We've Been Up To
We enjoyed our town's annual fireworks night with besties!
Mama enjoyed her first corporate event with her firm!
We loved our weekend at the beach and in Portsmouth with Mimi and Papa!
Diana made us proud at her voice recital
Everyone had a ball...especially in the pool...at Caden's Bday Party!
We loved chilling with fam and besties on the 4th at home!
The girls loved hanging with their besties at their pool- their favorite day so far this summer!
Diana loved audition camp and is loving Triple Threat Camp even more!
We played Sea Wee dolls in the yard!
and Mama and Daddy enjoyed learning to shoot!
Someone is having a ball riding her big wheel!
and Mama and Diana LOVED every minute of the Annual Mom Daughter Boogie Board Day at the beach!
The girls finally got to enjoy the ice cream truck in our neighborhood!
Miss Pidge ROCKED swim lessons!
and after many tears, did enjoy her time with big sis Ally :)
of course Diana had to get in on the action too ;)
Mama and Cass saw Shania Twain at the Boston Garden and re-lived their youth!
We had a blast at Laurel and Tom's Lake House!
Diana is determined to get better at softball and is super focused at her lessons
Miss Thing also LOVED seeing Aladdin with friends from camp
and Mama got some golf practice in with besties
While Daddy and his fellow School Board friends got through The Escape Room :)
There have been family dinners....
and nights out with friends...
and a very fun visit from Uncle Matt complete with lobsters and a mad game of corn hole! :)
What I'm Dreading
Nothing at the moment!
What I'm Working On
Diana's 10th Birthday Sleepover Party- seriously though, where does the time goo???
Wasn't she just shoving peas and potatoes in her mouth?
What I'm Excited About
All the August fun we have planned especially our Annual Storyland and Santa's Village Trip with the Grahams
What I'm Watching/Reading
My new FAVE show...can't get enough of it is
Outdaughtered on TLC. Have you seen it? It is the documentary show about Adam and Danielle Busby, their daughter Blayke and their Quintuplets who are the only set of all female quints in the U.S! Just a precious show- I love watching how they do life...they just amaze me :)
and I read Elin Hilderbrand's new novel and her first Murder Mystery- The Perfect Couple
LOVED IT of course!
I am also just finished our book for Book Club and that is
The Undomestic Goddess by Sophie Kinsella- it is really cute!
What I'm Listening To
Listening to as much Taylor Swift as possible so I recognize songs at her show on Friday night! :)
What I'm Wearing
Sooo...during the day it has either been workout clothes OR business attire....on the weekends, when going out, it has been jeans and sleeveless tops for the most part...looking forward to wearing more Lilly for special occasions in August! :)
(Jeans, Old from INC at Macys, Black Wedges from Nordstrom Rack, Leopard Scarf, Old from Old Navy and Black Sleeveless Top from Macy's HERE )
(Jeans, American Eagle same as above, Flip Flops Vionic from Zappos, Top Macy's)

What I'm Doing This Weekend
We have the big T Swift show on Friday night and Diana is very excited, Saturday just chilling and Sunday we have Charlotte and Henry's bday party - going to be a fun one!
What I'm Looking Forward To Next Month
All the August Fun....August is our crazy month but in a good way...our Anniversary...my Dad's Birthday...Diana's Birthday...concerts...more beach time......summer forever!
What Else Is Going On?
We made our first Back To School Purchase- I know I can't even think that far- we still have 6 more weeks left of summer here in New England- we are only half way through!
Our purchase is Diana's backpack- thank you Pottery Barn!
Bonus Question Of The Month:
My Favorite Thing We Have Done This Summer?
Well considering our summer is not even close to being over here, there is still plenty of fun to be had BUT if I had to answer today, I would say all of the quality time spent with family and friends especially QT that happens outside :)

LOVE that tassel tank you wore, SO cute!! How fun for you & Diana to go to the Taylor Swift concert this week, can't wait to hear all about it :)
I have been loving this New England summer; we only had two weeks of sticky heat and humidity but for the most part it's been warm or hot with a nice breeze... perfect!
You all have really been living it up this summer!!! Love the throwback summer pictures and your sassy, super fun outfits!!! I would LOVE to see Shania in concert. I really want to read the Perfect Couple. Elin H is so talented and I just read my first book by Sophie Kinsella. Loved reading about your July!!!
Oh wow--I'm going to look for that TV show--something I would like! Looks such such a fun and FULL summer! Enjoy the rest of July.
