Happy Friday and official start to summer. Marin and I have a special and fun girls weekend planned with some friends from Vermont and I’m so happy the weather is going to cooperate. We have picnics and beach days on the agenda and I’m just so grateful after the last few years that Marin gets to experience the magic of a sleepover and the fun of hosting a friend. Things I probably would have taken for granted not that long ago. Wishing all of you a great weekend.

If you’re in the mood to enjoy a cocktail, I’ve picked some of my favorite recipes for you to try at home. Going out to restaurants and ordering cocktails feel so fun and luxurious but it can get pricey. Making fresh cocktails at home is actually much easier than you may think and super fun. Especially during the summer when you can use fresh mint, rosemary, strawberries, jalapeños and lemon thyme right from your garden or the farmer’s market.

I’m not even going to complain because I just keep reminding myself of what a long winter we had. It feels good to see people again, stay up a little later and have plans. It always goes by too fast so my mantra is less stress more yes (and sometimes yes means no too, lol). Have a happy weekend.

Happy Friday. It’s an 11/10 day today on the island and we decided to take the day off to spend with Marin. It’s been a pretty rough few weeks between Covid, recovery and other stuff going on so we’re long overdue for some fun. We’re going strawberry picking and then headed to the beach. Looking forward to some quality time offline. Have a great weekend.

Happy June. Marin and I are back in Rhode Island while Craig finishes his quarantine up in Vermont. Luckily we’ve had some nice weather to welcome us back to the Ocean State. My garden is in full bloom, especially my peonies which is such a treat. All the planting I did 3-4 years ago is really starting to pay off. I’m planning to get some veggies and compost to get my raised beds going this weekend. Wishing you all a good one.

My husband and I love hosting parties. We enjoy being able to hold a space for everyone to come together and enjoy each other. Now that we have hosted several events, we have the prep and setup down to a science. Ahead of the holiday weekend I thought I’d share some tips for hosting a fun, stress-free cookout that all your friends and family will enjoy.

This is my number pick for a tennis dress. It’s comfortable and lightweight, and has a built in shorts liner with pockets large enough to hold tennis balls. The straps are adjustable too. It fits true to size/slightly big. I sized down to an xs. Tennis Socks, Tennis Bag, Tennis Sneakers, Tennis Dress, Tennis Clothes, Head Racquets, Pro Tennis, Play Golf, Tennis Players

Happy Friday! It has been a bit of a hectic week (Pepper was spayed, keeping a puppy calm for 10 days is going to be interesting). Needless to say we are beyond ready for the weekend. It’s another crazy warm forecast with temps tomorrow in the 90s. Hopefully that means more swimming. Lots of great links this week. Wishing all of you a great weekend.

Tennis gear has changed quite a bit since I was playing frequently and there are so many great options. Having the right tennis gear can help you be more comfortable while playing tennis, and the type of gear and accessories you need will depend on your level of play.

The battle for control over the thermostat is on. The weather took a quick turn and it’s cold! Indoor heat is on, fireplace is going and the outdoor air is drier than ever which means my skin is THIRSTY. As someone with already dry skin, fall and winter can really do a number on it, so my focus is always moisturize, hydrate, and (occasionally) exfoliate. So this post is about glowy skin and fall makeup that works best for me!
