Hello Monday (August 3, 2026)

 

Hi Friends and Happy Monday!  I am here with Sarah and we are chatting about our weekends. Hope you will join us!

 

Please bare with me as ChatGPT and I redesign my blog- it is coming along but my pages aren't live yet...it's a work in progress!

 

Here is what our crazy busy and fun summer weekend looked like...

 

Friday Night

 

Eva had her first Brazilian Blowout appointment with the lovely Taylor.  It came out beautifully!  This process takes out the frizz and makes thick hair much more manageable.

 

After that, she made me promise to take her to one of our old favorites for dinner- Coach Stop in Londonderry.  She missed their grilled cheese.  We were also excited to get the Mud Pie dessert again but they were sold out!  Boo...anyway...

 

 

We had a great time together and then headed home after dinner and I crashed immediately.  Eva stayed up for a bit to chat with and play RoBox with friends.

 

 

Rob had a gig at BWG.

 

Diana was up at Vermont State University for her Shrine practice and banquet.  She had a blast. 

 

Saturday

 

We were up bright and early and hit the road to Vermont.  It took us almost three hours but the weather and traffic were on our side.

 

It was fun to see Diana and WHS friends cheer again.  It was hot and sunny so we baked!

 

 

 

 

We really enjoyed their halftime routine...

 

 

Then we whisked her away before the 2nd half started so we could make it back to the area so she could get to cheer practice at Merrimack.

 

Eva went to hang with Papa and Rob and I headed to our last grad party of the season-  so bittersweet and had an absolute blast with my favorite senior mamas.

 

We are starting to schedule regular dinners together to keep in touch. Our first one will be after we get all of our kids moved into college so in September and we are going to make it special.  I can't lie- I had a lump in my throat most of the night even when we got into some laughing fits.  So glad these ladies came into my life this year...just wish we had more time together while our kids were in school...but again, everything happens for a reason.

 

After Diana got out of practice, she met us at the party.  We only got to see her for a few before we headed home to crash.

 

It was a long day and we squeezed so much in-we were wiped!

 

 

Sunday

 

We were up bright and early  and the girls and I headed to the beach for our Annual Mom Daughter Boogie Board Adventure.  The beach was so so comfortable...I almost feel asleep!  Though the water was cold, we got pretty used to it and road some waves.  That lump in my throat was still hanging around.  I wanted to freeze time this day :/

 

We got home around noon and Rob came grocery shopping with me to save some time.  I was grateful.

 

Diana got ready and headed to her next cheer practices and dinner at Merrimack. After that, she headed to a besties' house for a sleepover with the girls before the first one leaves for the University of South Carolina this week :(

 

I watched a documentary on HBO Maxx then made us dinner.

 

We watched some women's college hockey reels and talked about some of Eva's goals.

 

Once I finished this post, I read and crashed early so I could hit my early yoga class at the gym.  What were YOU all up to?
