Friday 5

{1} After work today, AJ, Coco, and I are off to my parents' cape house! I love going to the cape. The second I go over the Sagamore Bridge I am calm and turn into jello. It's such a relaxing place for me. Speaking of relaxing one of my favorite spots is on our hammock! Last year, I bought this hammock from L.L. Bean as a Christmas gift to my family. Everyone loves it! 

{2} I am trying to decide what to get AJ for his 30th birthday next month. I know he would love to take a trip to Nashville...so I'd kinda love to surprise him with tickets to Nashville. But, we are really working hard to save for a house! #priorities? 

{3} In precisely 7 days AJ and I are on vacay. We are going to spend some time at the cape and then venture off to AJ's favorite place...Saratoga! We will be staying at the The Nest on Saratoga Lake. I think it looks super adorbs. I will be sure to post about my trip when we return! 

Here we are at Saratoga last summer. I SWEAR we did not color coordinate! 

{4} Speaking of Saratoga, I am excited that I bought some fancy hats to debut at Saratoga this year. I bought two hats from a cute Etsy store called Real Housewife Hats. The price is certainly right on these hats as hats sold at the racetrack can cost upwards of $200! Although I don't want to completely give my outfit away here is a sneak peak at the hats I purchased.

{5} I really need to start focusing on losing my next 20 pounds. I have about 35 pounds to go until I reach my "goal" weight. For me, it's not so much what the scale says but how I feel in my clothes. I keep saying I am going to get serious about eating smaller portions but damn girl, it's so hard on the weekends. During the summer, there are yummy cocktails to be had and of course my weakness seafood and ice cream!
