1. Last night, some of my mom friends here in town (we used to call ourselves the “first grade moms,” but since our boys are entering second grade in the fall, I guess that needs to change!) got together for a paint and wine girls night at my friend J’s house. I’ve done the whole paint thing before, but either at a studio or a restaurant.
But in this case, the artist — the boys’ art teacher! — brings all her supplies to your house. Which is genius. We came prepared with all sorts of snacks and goodies and bottles of wine and relaxed, chatted, laughed, sang, dance and, yes, painted late into the night. Such a great idea for a ladies night, birthday party, etc. (And if you’re in the Boston area, check out Noelle’s Paint Parties!)
2. We are headed to Water Country tomorrow — so excited! The weather looks beautiful and we made arrangements for our neighbor to check in our dog during the day so we don’t have to rush and can even stay in New Hampshire for dinner. I’ll post a recap/review early next week.
By the way, have you entered my giveaway to win two tickets? The clock is ticking … it ends on Monday morning. And don’t forget, you can also use the code Blog30 to save $3 off each ticket.
3. I can’t believe my little niece is turning 2! We have her birthday party on Sunday and I can’t wait to celebrate with her. Mimi is so lucky to have a cousin so close in age!
4. I realized this morning that I’ve been taking barre class for almost a month now! How did that happen?! For those not familiar with it, barre (or bar method, as it’s also known) is a fitness class done at a ballet barre that combines core conditioning, yoga, Pilates, and weight training. Sunday will be my fourth class, and I’ve been going once a week. I am totally loving it — it’s so different from any other workout I’ve ever done and I love the way I feel after. I’ll have to plan a blog post soon!
5. This is our last weekend in town before we head out on vacation!!! Cape Cod, here we come! Time to start stalking the weather forecast …
That’s all for today! Have a great weekend, everyone!
