My cousins came down from Maine for 5 days last week and we made the most of every moment. Of course, with Mike here the band commandeered the garage and had multiple days of band practice. They put on quite a show for the neighbors, and fortunately all the feedback we got was positive and… Continue reading Mini Concert Weekend
Last summer, Aaron and our friends Bender and Eric started messing around playing some music together, and before we knew it they formed a band. We and the Benders would switch off hosting duties each weekend and we'd spend our days lounging by our respective pools for a few hours before the guys would disappear… Continue reading Worth the Wait!
It has taken me over a week to fully recover from the epic time that was had here at Casa de Strojny over the weekend of the 19th-21st. That had promised to be a great weekend anyway because Nancy Lee Grahn was hosting a Zoom fundraiser for ALS One, which I was super excited about.… Continue reading Epic Weekend
The pandemic has been looming over us since March. The end of spring and start of summer were very restricted and we couldn't do much of anything beyond our houses and neighborhoods. Though I will say that my neighborhood is the best, and we rocked the socially distanced driveway fire pits for months, which at… Continue reading Cousin Time
Last night was ALS ONE’s annual Snow Ball Gala. It was held this year at Lombardo’s in Randolph. I was sad that my parents couldn’t join us this year. My father is in the middle of chemotherapy for pancreatic cancer and we couldn’t take the chance of having him around a lot of people with… Continue reading ALS One Snow Ball Gala

My aunt Kathy, cousin Kerri, and goddaughter Piper also made the trip from MA and we had an amazing time! The wedding was beautiful, and we had a fantastic time catching up with family… Continue reading Road Trip

A huge thank you to everyone who helped put this together and to all who attended.… Continue reading 80s Night!
Scratch another one off my bucket list! Actually, this may scratch off a couple. Back in April I wrote about my adventures in getting tickets to NKOTB. After a misstep or two, I managed to get tickets for my cousins Lauren and Kerri, my friend Cheryl, and myself. Last night we headed into Boston for… Continue reading So This Happened…
To ring in 2019, we hosted a big family New Year's slumber party weekend. My cousin Lauren and her daughters came down from Maine, so it was the perfect opportunity to get the family together. I think it was the first time we all celebrated New Years together, at least as far as I can… Continue reading NKOT(Son of a)B; but first, Wahlburgers!
For the second year in a row, my cousins and I have planned a weekend getaway in NH. My husband, my son, and I are joined by several of my cousins and their families and we have a blast. It's two days of fun, laughter, and love. This year's trip came one month after my… Continue reading #Strength
