FORE! vs. STRIKE!

We had a wonderful Father's Day breakfast at our favorite spot in the town harbor.

Much discussion if we should keep our family plan to golf for the day. The cold, wet, misty rain and increasing wind drove our decision to cancel our scheduled tee time. Wouldn't be fun! Plan "B" brought us to a few crazy games of bowling! Much fun!If you golf, http://www.ameandlulu/ have fab golf accessories and I thought these preppy pink and green bowling pin earrings I found on etsy; oogieboogiebaubles, were a hoot!!

A space for Reflecting.....

I'm writing today in a somber mood. I have spent most of my day in a special place that brings peace to me. I lost someone very dear and beloved. I still hurt. I still grieve. I still miss that person. Today is the 1st anniversary. My family has been wonderful to me throughout this. They have been there for me. My special place started with church this morning. Peaceful.
Prayer is consoling. Next, I spent a good part of the day at a spot near the beach with a beautiful view. I wrote down thoughts in a journal. I wrote some notes to a few special people in my life. But most important, I was in deep thought about this person, who was so special to me. This person is at peace and looking down on me lovingly. I know that. I can feel that. Today was my day to stop, take a breath and just think. I hope you all have a special place for reflecting.

Boat lovin' Man!

...and one more idea for Father's Day...

these nautical chart tile clocks are handmade in Massachusetts. Many North Eastern coastal areas, the Islands and Florida are offered to be made as a nautical chart or tide clock. I have a chart clock of my town and have it displayed in our family room. Great for a den, office, enclosed porch.........Visit PicturePerfectGifts on Etsy.

"Tie one on" for Dad!

....Ok, there's atleast one tie planned for someone on your Father's Day list be it hubby, father, grandfather, uncle, etc. To kick-off summer and baseball season, the variety of MLB ties and sport-themed ties and bowties from Vineyard Vines are sure to be a hit....I love them!

The Sun is Finally Out Up Here!!!

The sun came out this afternoon! Glorious! I was out doing errends today and couldn't pass on these Sperry canvas boat shoes. I just love navy and kelly. I thought these were just too adorable! !

A "Belted Cow" for Dad?

...Are you still hunting for that Father's Day gift? Here's a good pick from New England; The Belted Cow. Handmade belts from Maine. Fun styles to choose from for the Dad who loves golf, lacrosse or other sports and also for the Dad who has a sense of humor and would appreciate the many choices of whimsical designs; http://www.beltedcow.com/ -A New England find!

About me!

As I read so many different blogs, I discovered I'm also reading about you; your good humor, creativity, sense of style and uncanny skill to hunt for those fabulous preppy finds! Well, I should only repay the kindness and present a little preppiness about myself to you!



I'm a preppy 40ish SAHM to two; Miss Preppy/Sporty Tween and Mr. Baseball Guy (for now, until next sport season) and married to the fab, sometimes preppy, Mr. Boston! I love the crazy life I'm in right now juggling their school life, my school volunteering (just two more days!) , their sports, music and theatre interests in true preppy style of course; navy, kelly, pink, and madras.

I love my children's friends, and their play time together! In between that, I manage to happily jaunt off to my manicure and pedicure appointments for that fab massage chair....(ahhh!!!)

As for me and Mr. Boston, we love great conversation over dinner together or with friends locally or in Boston. We have fun playing golf together..(well I think he does!) we enjoy the theatre, and spending time with our children. Watching baseball and rooting for the Red Sox is a huge summer past-time with the occasional treat to attend Fenway Park! We love our family beach time during the day and early evening wind downs with other families. Nothing like summer drinks and fun appetizers at the beach watching the sun set! We love our evenings on the deck watching the children play! Mr. Boston likes to cook and yes, I'll admit, sometimes, he is better than me...(gasp!!!!) We love to do day trips, and plan vacations visiting family or new places.
My little ones are well, not so little anymore. (...sigh...)So many blog sites dedicated to that stage and I truly miss that. I'm now in the middle of the "tween scene" with my oldest. Challenging yes, but fun! My youngest is my little baseball guy!
We love New England and I hope to share some great things about this beautiful place with all of you. Thank you for reading and thank you to those who started following me. It's so much fun to click on "Followers" to discover someone new and from what area they are writing from!
Enjoy!
