Date Night

 

Mark Your Calendars!

 

The miovie that the girls were extras in (originally called Love is Brewing) will premier on Hallmark Channel on Saturday July 20th! Mark you calendars, set your DVRs, pop some popcorn (and make some hot chocolate) and enjoy! Can't wait to see it! xo 

Weekending

 On Saturday we brough the girls up to Pilgrim Lodge for their first ever week as CITs. 

Emma all set up in her cabin. 

And Grace in hers. 

One final picture before we head back to Massachusetts without our babies. 

We hae no doubt they are going to be amazing counselors-in-training and cannot wait to hear all their stories when we pick them up this coming Saturday. 

On Sunday, we went to Flour Flour in Cambridge for breakfast (and treats). 

We ran a few errands on our way home and then did some house chores when we got back before (finally!) playing BotanyBotany! 

The girls and I attenpted to play it once abouta month ago but it felt overwhelming so Dave said he would spend some time figuring it out and then he'd teach us. It's much simpler than we originally thought and I have to say it might be my new fave! 

Violet came to hang out with us. 

In which I win the game and am awarded the Queen's Prize in Botany! 

Clover and Violet make relaxing an art form! 

We enjoyed a yummy dessert (from Flour) while watching Food Network's Tournament of Champions V Tournament of Champions V. We're such party animals! xo 😂😂😂

On Indepdemce Day

Before June Comes to a Close

Judging bunnies. Clearly, breakfast is late....again! 

How is it the final day of June already? This year is flying by at warp speed and it's hard to believe that we are more than half way through 2024 already. The girls first month of summer has been a busy and fun filled one, and I am proud that I managed to blog more this month than I have in a long while (even if I didn't always get a post fully up until a lttle bit later).July brings "birthday month" and many trips to Maine for the girls to be at camp (both as CITs and as campers) and I am sure a few other fun filled things! We are still hoping to get to NYC to see Hadestown at some point this summer (maybe in August?), too. Fringers crossed we can make that happen! xo 

In Which Emma Earns the Girl Scout Car Care Badge

 

On Tuesday, while Grace was at the dance intensive, Emma and the rest of the Girl Scout troop went to a local mechanic and learned all about changing the oil and tires. A very timely badge for this crew who is all learning to drive (or relatively new drivers)! xo 

So This Just Happened

 

When you're having a low key family night and get some incredible (and unexpected) news from Convention! So grateful to my team for all they do to support the amazing Delta Gamma's at Brown! So thankful/grateful/blessed to be Theta Delta's ATC! I  💓 my Providence daughters! xo
