Weekend Sunshine_7.1.13

This past weekend kicked off with a much-needed girls night. We all missed Kim, but we all gushed about her bundle of joy... the new little lady in our life, Juliet. Saturday, I was surprised with tickets to Tim McGraw - he is such a exciting performer and we got a special treat with an acoustic performance right before the main show started. It was incredible and SO much fun. All in all, it was a great weekend - too short though, don't you all feel that way? I wish I could just press pause!

Sneak peek of Girl's night. I'll dedicate a post to the menu.

Geared up for country music with fringe, denim, & a VIP pass.

Tim, during the acoustic pre-show performance.

My absolute favorite place to get an ice cream cone is Peaceful Meadows farm. If you are ever visiting Plymouth, MA, go get one. (there are also locations in Middleboro & Whitman) . Get the cappuccino chunk. Runners up are peppermint patti and coconut chocolate almond.

Finally, whenever I have a case of the Mondays (like today). I always feel 100% better after my Monday night boxing class. It never fails. Remember, the mental benefits of working out are just as important as the physical benefits. What is your favorite workout to tackle after a long day?

Have an awesome week! xo

Weekend Sunshine_6.24.13

Happy Summer! What a beautiful weekend to kick off SUMMER... my favorite season. Sunshine, beaches, boats, ocean... rinse, repeat.

This weekend kicked off with the Boston JP Morgan Corporate Challenge. The "race" is a complete disaster as the first mile and a half is a walk/jog/sprint due to the thousands of participants. That being said, it is one of my favorite events! I love it when companies encourage their employees to GET ACTIVE. And, I LOVE the camaraderie.

Saturday night, I headed out with Rachael and Leanda. Roofdeck cocktails, Bruins game, & dancing. It was a much needed fun night out.

Nothing like watching the sunrise on a morning run.

Remember... Where there is a will, there is a way. Set your goals and do everything in your power to achieve them.

Yesterday, my family gathered at my Uncle & Aunt's house in Lakeville (where I grew up :)) to celebrate my cousin being home from the Marines for a short week. It was so nice to have (almost) the whole D'Alessandro clan together. We don't do it often enough. Here I am with my mom and brother. All smiles.
