Remember when it was Memorial Day Weekend?

And remember when I stayed on top of blogging? Yeah, me neither. Ugh, maybe I have caught a case of spring fever but my head has been in the clouds. I feel like the students I counsel….totally counting down the last days of school, which is 16, but who really keeps track of that stuff. Anyway, finally getting around to sharing MDW pics which included a Mets game with the whole family (starting to be a new tradition), a friend's 30th birthday on the water at this fabulous restaurant, and some BBQ action at my parents house in the country. It couldn't have been a more perfect, and busy, weekend :)

Big apple home run. One of the first dates D ever took me on was to a Mets game (great seats behind the dug out) so we really was aiming to impress! So this holds a special place in our hearts.

I'm not sure this Corona is big enough. What do you think?

I guess we cleared out the whole nose bleed section, huh?

the moment we found out we were both Mets fan we knew it was true love.

We bonded over a lifetime of disappointment and losing. 

Me and my momma.

Bunch of crazzzzy people we are. And I love every second of it!

Like sister like brother I guess.

After the game, even though we were exhausted we headed to my friend's birthday where we, well…..had a blast. And maybe a few too many drinks too! 

Reminiscing and catching up with your girlfriends is sooooo necessary. 

Also went a little out of my comfort zone with my saturday night look. Sorry for the poor quality of this photo but I wanted to share my out of the ordinary (for me) look.

Because it rained at the Mets game, my hair was a hot mess when I got home. Rather than take on that nasty battle with my straightener, I decided to work with the natural texture (and the braid I had in all day) and I think it came out pretty cute.  I felt very Carrie Bradshaw….a little wild and sassy. And add the red lips and it was all over ;)

On Sunday I went home to PA to grill at my parents house. The boys played golf and the girls got manis and shopped. Just the way I like it!

Again, sorry for the lack of blogging. Once the school year comes to a close I hope to kick up my blogging like….full time! Stay tuned :)

memorial day festivness.

Whether you're heading down the shore for MDW, going to a BBQ or just hanging out -- Memorial Day is the unofficial kick-off to summer. Where did spring go by the way!? Pools start opening up, shorts and sandals make their appearance, and our hearts get just a little lighter with the thought of summer. But  let's also remember the reason why we celebrate, which is celebrating the wonderful women and men who protect us, make us safe, and allow us to live free and eat as many hot dogs we want --which by the way, I just heard the ingredient list of hot dogs on the radio and it is SCARY! No hot dogs for me....looks like I'll be sticking to the veggie burgers this year. But I digress.

Snag up some red, white and blue goodies for this patriotic holiday:

Maxi dress (cute option) // Tory Burch shoes // Tory Burch straw bag // Red bubble necklace // Straw fedora hat // Deborah Lippmann Red polish // Deborah Lippmann white polish  // American Flag Trays

D and I are spending the weekend down in Philly to get out of dodge for a while. I just realized we have not taken any weekend or overnight trips in I can't even remember. It seemed like last year I was complaining all the time how I was living out of a suitcase because we were traveling so much, and now we have the opposite problem! We decided to book a Bed & Breakfast in the Old City section of Philly and act like little tourists. This is extra special for us too since we both used to live in Philadelphia but didn't know each other. So exploring the city together for the first time together should be fun. Check out the liberty bell, get a cheese steak, run up the Rocky stairs....you know the deal. What are your plans for Memorial Day weekend?

Hope you all have a great weekend and -- Happy unofficial start of summer! : )
