1. We officially have a preschool graduate, and I can hardly believe it.
Lucas had his graduation ceremony on Wednesday evening, and it was great. I honestly wasn’t sure how it was going to go for most of us (me, because I’m a hot mess and emotional, Lucas, because whew, he’d had a pretty tough day, and Alex, because it was right at his bedtime). Turns out, I think Alex did the best out of all of us.
BUT, I only cried once, so I was rather proud of myself.
Lucas really has had an amazing two years at his preschool, and his wonderful teachers are going to be sorely missed.
He’s also made some wonderful friendships, which makes for a bittersweet ending to preschool, since most of them will actually be heading off to different elementary schools (we have five different elementary schools in our district). But I guess that’s a big part of what growing up is all about, right? Yeeesh, hand me a tissue…
2. I can’t look at this picture from our bedtime shenanigans the other night and NOT laugh.
Get ’em, Alex! ; )
3. In line with #2 above…
Sounds about right.
4. Still rockin’ the cookie dough iced coffees over here!
I’m tryyyyying to limit myself to like, 3-4 a week. Is that terrible? I mean, I know it’s full of sugar, and the $$$ adds up…but it’s probably only going to be around for another month or so! So is it justified?
5. YES.
6. I have also approached two different stores asking if I could purchase a whole container of the cookie dough syrup. I was denied both times. HOWEVER, a reader told me that she was successfully able to purchase one from a store, so now I’m super jealous.
7. Enough about cookie dough syrup…I’ve also been on a BIG cottage cheese kick lately.
I know cottage cheese is sort of a love/hate food (Jay won’t go near it) but I just love it mixed in with some fruit, especially with the warmer weather.
8. I’ve been taking some outfit of the day pics at home lately. Is this anything you guys would be interested in? Or shall I leave that to the fashion bloggers? ; )
9. I’m sure you already know I love me a good alcoholic beverage (especially during the summer!), and I totally switch around between beer, wine, and hard seltzers. Last weekend, we purchased some of this new (I think?) Corona Premier and Jay and I both loved it.
It’s lighter, at only 90 calories, but has more of a regular Corona taste (vs. Corona Light), and is delicious with a couple of fresh lime wedges. Yum! Totally reminds me of our vacations to the Outer Banks.
Mannn, I want to get back there.
Alright friends, that’s all I’ve got for today! I hope you all have a fabulous Friday and a wonderful weekend ahead, whatever you may be doing <3
I googled the Duncan Fonuts Cookie Dough Syrupand it appears iris available online “Dunkin Donuts Cookie Dough Swirl with Pump” ecrater.com
Definitely hit up eBay for the syrup. I just got a jug of the Girl Scout peanut butter one. It’s was only $21 shipped to NY and so worth it. The seller told me to contact him anytime if there was any other syrups I wanted. His seller ID is : mjcc367
Aww man! I tried finding the seller OR the syrup on ebay but no luck :(

Here is a listing for one of his other DD items. I would message him and see if he has it. He told me any other syrups I needed, just let him know.
OMG thanking these 2 comments above here because I’m totally about to go buy some syrup! And I’d love to see your outfit pics. TBH as a “regular” working mama, while fashion bloggers are fun to look at it’s rarely ever stuff I can see me wearing. I love getting outfit ideas that might actually work in the real world!
Haha, I totally get what you mean! Thanks, Courtney! :)
I’m obsessed with the cookie dough too!! Thanks to the commenter above I’ll be getting some!!
And yes to your fashion photos! I love your style and I can def relate as a working momma needing some help in the fashion Dept. If I work from home it’s a pj day but my work wardrobe and everyday wardrobe could use a boost lol.
Have a great weekend!
Cookie Dough iced coffees…I want to thank you for letting me know they are back, however I am mad that I know they are back. HA! I crave them entirely too much now! You are right though…its only a limited time so we should fully indulge! Outfits-yes please. Every day work wear ideas are always welcome! LOVE your blog! Have a great weekend!
I get DD butter pecan flavor iced coffee every weekend…LOVE IT!!! Outfit pics-YES!!!! Congrats to Lucas!!! He is just so darn cute. Have a wonderful weekend.
Maybe I should try the flavored DD coffee again? I just couldn’t get behind it last time! But then again, I’m kind of a coffee snob and I’m not proud of it. Perhaps hit up a smaller DD shop or just become a loyal regular. I worked at PJ’s (New Orleans coffee shop) and we did anything for the customers we super loved! – Kaitlyn | http://www.poweredbysass.com
Torani also makes a Cookie Dough flavored syrup (in regular & sugar free)! I’ve seen them on Amazon regularly and sometimes in stores. I’m not sure how it is compared to the Dunkin’ coffee but I bet it would be worth trying. :)

Cookie dough syrup on amazon. IF amazon wasn’t wonderful already!
The Torani cookie dough flavored syrup is delicious, too! Not sure how it compares to DD because I don’t have one near me, but I drink lots of different Torani syrups in my iced coffee and they’re all fantastic!
Torani (whole line of syrups) has cookie dough.
Awww the little graduate! They grow up so quickly! I’ve been wanting to try DD cookie dough iced coffee for a while and i told my man to pick it up for me. He said he had a surprise for me and have me the drank! But he gave me coffee with 1 ice cube with some coffee grounds still in it, crushed Oreos and piece of raw pizza dough in it. It tasted nasty but it’s the thought that counts!
Oh man I’m obsessed with cottage cheese lately too as is our son ( well he was…after I bought two huge containers he’s over it) isn’t that always the case! ha!
I would love to see your outfits especially because you shop at similar stores I do so I know I can easily copy them ha!
I would love to see outfit pics. You are extremely relatable and I just adore your blog!
