Five on Friday {Fourth of July Weekend}

Happy Friday! It has been a hot minute since I’ve posted on the blog.  I switched to a different Bluehost service and what I thought was going to be a quick fix turned into an unexpected several week hiatus. I’ve been busy though and have a lot of blog posts coming up so stay tuned! 

Summer is in full swing here with the temps this week in the mid-90’s! The kids have been out of school and my daughter started her CIT gig at the local town camp. This weekend we are heading to my parents house in Rhode Island to celebrate the 4th of July.  This is an annual tradition for us and my sister and her family will be there as well. The weather isn’t looking great, but it will be nice to get away for a couple of days. 

Here are five from this week:

1.  Date Night – Last week D and I had a date night.  We went to Gleason’s in Peekskill for their trivia night.  My husband is really good at trivia. Me…..not so much.  I go for the food and the support!  This was our first time going to trivia night here and we came in second place!  It was a fun time and we will be back again.

2. Reading – This week I finished The Soulmate Equation by Christina Lauren which I really enjoyed!  I’m almost finished reading People We Meet on Vacation by Emily Henry which is really good as well.  Both are perfect, light summer reads!  

3. Eating – This week I got lunch from Root 2 Rise, a new plant-based restaurant that just opened Monday in Pleasantville.  I tried the Dan Dan Bowl which was good, but was different than the traditional Dan Dan Bowls that I’ve had in the past. 

I tried Ben & Jerry’s limited edition Totally Unbaked ice cream.  It tastes almost exactly like what I remember Half Baked tasting like, so wasn’t that impressed.

The kids love acai bowls and we got them bowls this week from Shimmy’s Acai in Jefferson Valley.

4. Watching  – This week we watched Raya And The Last Dragon as a family. I’ve also binged the first season of Manifest on Netflix.  

5. Lake Time – Our friends moved to a new house and had a couple families over for a BBQ last weekend. They have lake access right from their backyard and I was able to kayak. The kids kayaked, went swimming and SUP. It was a fun time!

Sharing with Friday Favorites. Have a great weekend!

  1. Yeah the weather is looking just awful for the weekend but we’re planning to make the best of it too and still get together with family. I hope you have a great time in RI! I have that Soulmate book waiting in my reading pile.
