What I'm Reminiscing About
I have been reminiscing about Diana's Junior Year quite a bit...all of the highs and lows...it was an exciting and exhilarating year as well as stressful and heartbreaking and I am proud of my girl for riding all of the crazy waves
What I'm Loving
All of the Senior Year Traditions for Diana- The Kick Off Cheer Dinner- Senior Sashes- Senior Mom Buttons and then Dresses on the First Day of School...Senior Sunrise...a real HOCO this year with the big game AND dance happening in October...so much fun!
Oh and check out this modeling shot for iCheer Cookies- just love it!

Eva had a blast at her hockey's team party on a lake
Diana and I enjoyed a morning on the beach until I was attacked by a seagull- no joke-worst nightmare
but I didn't let the seagull win and hit the beach the very next day with my girls to accomplish our Annual Mommy Daughter Boogie Boarding Day!
There were some Playa Bowls Dates with Besties

We went Back To School Shopping

The Summer I Turned Pretty- Season 3- Duh
and my book for August was
Murder At The High School Reunion by Lee Hollis (Book 3 in Series)
After all these years, Maya and Sandra have mixed feelings about
seeing their high school classmates, but in one sense the evening
promises to be something of a red carpet event. A shy wallflower in
school, Alyssa Turner has blossomed into an Oscar-nominated actress—and
she’s coming to the reunion.
To their surprise, before the event,
Alyssa contacts Maya and Sandra. She’s going to be playing a private
eye and would like to hear about their experiences. When they meet, she
confides she was bullied in school by cheerleader Tawny Bryce and her
mean girls’ clique while also having a huge crush on Tawny’s boyfriend,
the star quarterback.
When Tawny’s body is discovered the night
of the reunion behind the bleachers, the spotlight is on Alyssa. She
turns to Maya and Sandra to find the real killer. But is she as innocent
as she seems—or turning in another Oscar-worthy performance?
Loved it! This series is light, fun and keeps you guessing!
What I'm Listening To
The Beginning of Diana's Senior Year Play List which includes hits by The Weekend, Drake and Benson Boone to name a few
What I'm Wearing
Workout Clothes- Business Clothes and Fun Outfits on the Weekends
What I'm Doing This Weekend
It's Labor Day Weekend and the Unofficial Close of Summer...sigh....
We are heading out to see Jaws on Friday night for the 50th anniversary with our best friends- since it is Cass and Rob's absolute fave of all time, we are kinda making a big deal about it
Then Saturday we are heading up to Maine with my family to go to dinner on the water to celebrate my brother's and my birthdays
Sunday we are going to grill with some friends
Monday we will spend around home...maybe swimming for the last time...Rail Trail....grilling....getting organized for the week!

Oh my goodness- how did I forget to put The Summer I Turned Pretty on my post?? Can't wait to watch today's episode!
So much good stuff going on- it's hard to keep up with and it's not even my life, lol!! I enjoy following along- your fun traditions, how hard you work and play, your beautiful family- really it's all inspo :). I hope that your girls have the best school year ahead. It will be a big year and you will make wonderful memories.
What a busy August full of some great things! Can't believe next week is September!!
Me too! Watching it tonight with my girls :)
You are such a supportive friend- thank you so much for making me feel good when I feel like I am failing miserably sometimes!
Me too Marilyn- crazy how time is flying!
Your menu sounds delicious! I’ll have to check out that recipe. When does hockey start back up for you guys? Mason has leveling games (where they see what division we fall in) the weekend of Sept 6th. We are stoked! Happy belated anniversary!
Thanks! Hockey started over the summer- they had the leveling games in July and then started a camp two weeks ago and now we start regular practices- let the games begin- wishing you a fabulous season!
What a fabulous and full month you've had! I just watched Jaws for the first time a couple of weeks ago. My husband couldn't believe I had never seen the whole thing from start to finish. I honestly don't get the hype at all! LOL
A very busy but great month! It does make me sad that summer is coming to an end, but I'm also excited about the Fall festivities! Good luck to both girls and the upcoming school year! And yes to The Summer I turned Pretty! I can't... I'm totally team Conrad.
That Asian Beef Broccoli sounds so good and it's something my family would love.
It sounds like such an exciting time for Diana.
August was such a great month for you and your family, you did get up to so much.
Have a fab weekend!
Ha! I am sure it was low budget for the time- if they had only known! I do enjoy watching it once/year but I am not as obsessed as my hubby and BFF- they are both funny- it is their favorite- they love sharks AND they are their biggest fears- don't get it!
Thank you Ali :) Sending you all the wishes for a wonderful school year for you and Addyson too! I am Team Conrad all the way too!
Thanks Kim! Hope the weekend is wonderful for you too :)
Haha oh no! I'm sorry about the seagull attack! I love FNL, it's one of my comfort shows!
Thank you- ha! Yes FNL total comfort!
