I love June, usually not yet too hot, the fun days of summer have begun and I get the month to look forward to the 4th fun around the corner!! Hello sweet June and HELLO FRIDAY!!! Love these short weeks! Mr. Nine called me yesterday and said, we're headed to Chicago again to see U2 Saturday Night at Solider Field! Just a day trip but Super excited seeing as they were majorly a part of my 1980's!! Come on Bono and Friday Favs....
1. Family Day
Yep, I was one happy Mama last Saturday when we found a time that the whole crew could do a Family day!! Pizza at an old school joint we love, The Lounger Theater to see "Baywatch" (Super Funny) and the Apple store so one boy could replace a phone that went uh, swimming, lol.

2. DIFFERIN GEL
YES!!!! So, I am not one to have botox or stuff injected, so when I was at the dermatologist for my skin check a couple weeks ago, I sad "Doc, I wold like something for wrinkles." He smiled and said I was in luck because now, over the counter, right there on the shelves of Target is this amazing gel!!! Just came out a few weeks ago. It says it is for Acne but it is the latest advancement in fighting wrinkles and it is only $29.99. So far, so good, gives a little tight feeling to the skin, I have had no redness or breakouts and a small diminish in crows feet. Hope it continues to work magic!!

5. Impromptu Trip to Chicago
Monday was mine and Mr. Nine's wedding anniversary. The past couple years we haven't done anything major and didn't look like we would this year as weather looked kind of crappy. We kept watching the forecast and Sunday morning, just said "Let's Go!" We packed a bag quick and drove to Chicago and had the best time.
The weather ended up being picture perfect.
More on this Last Minute get away on Monday!!
And in case you missed it, Our 2017 Family AND Couples Bucket lists HERE
Now go get going on your summer fun, bucket list or no bucket list, just enjoy this sweet June weekend!!

What a perfect family day!! And I use to use Differin gel but it was prescribed, I did see that it's now over the counter and thought about trying it again, but now that I know it helps wrinkles, I'm totally getting it :) Can't wait to hear all about your Chicago trip!! Happy Weekend!
ReplyDeleteI need to try that Differin gel. Can't wait to read about your trip to Chicago! Have a great weekend!

How fun to go to Chicago twice in a week! Happy Anniversary. I love that you were able to squeeze in a family day. I have not tried those M&M's but I am sure they would be my newest favorite candy. I love that leopard clutch. Have the best weekend at U2. Say hello to Bono for me. Happy Friday Mama!
ReplyDeleteHappy Friday! I love that you are so close to Chicago!! Have the best time at the U2 concert. My brother was at Cindy's rooftop bar last Sunday and it looked picture perfect. What a fun family day you had too. Have the best weekend! xo Beautifully Candid
ReplyDeleteThat ruffle sleeve top is so cute! Love the color on you! Going to pick up that Differin stuff immediately. Heck yes! Family days are the best days. Glad you guys got to do a lot of fun things. Hope you have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteThat poppy red top is such a fabulous color on you! Happy Friday, have an amazing time in Chicago <3

Happy Anniversary!! Have fun in Chicago! I have always wanted to go there. One day! Have a wonderful weekend.
ReplyDeleteI love al the fun you have with your family- I hope that's us in 10 years
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous family Andrea! I am for SURE going to get some differin gel! And as far as your look, you nailed it. LOVE your top!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend beautiful!
Oh my...I have so much to say. Shocking! LOL First, you guys are so cool taking a quick trip to Chicago to go to a U2 concert! Love it! Differen...I just bought it a few weeks ago for my daughters acne at Target. (we actually ended up at the doctor for it this week and are adding a topical antibiotic along with the Differen) I've used it in the past for occasional break outs and fine lines and my son had it prescribed for acne years ago. (Now, on a side note. I wouldn't be a good blogger friend if I didn't say I'd love for you to try Rodan + Fields.😉😉 I absolutely love the products!!!!) So you liked Baywatch? I told the hubs I bet it would be super funny, but super stupid. Now I'm thinking we should grab Katie and head to our lounger theater and see it. Because let's face it, once you've watched a movie in a lounger theater you just don't want to see one if a regular theater. Last but definitely not least CARAMEL M&M's!!!! As soon as I complete this clean eating bootcamp I'm doing, I'll be on the hunt for those. I am an M&M girl through and through!!! Have a weekend as gorgeous as you are my friend!!! XOXO
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to spend your family day last Saturday! Good to hear you liked Baywatch -- we going to see it while we were on vacation but never got around to it. Thanks for sharing my post! I'm seriously obsessed with that top. I'm going to order a few more colors I think! Have a great weekend, Andrea!

So excited for your family day! Looks like everyone had a wonderful time. That color looks FANTASTIC on you! And a concert?! You have such a fun, exciting life!
ReplyDeleteYAY for a spontaneous trip!! Happy Anniversary you beautiful couple!! Love your Orange Nordy's top!! Have a great weekend Andrea!!
ReplyDeleteYay for having a family day with all your boys!!! Love that ruffle sleeve top - it's the best! And an impromptu trip to Chicago - how fun!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to hear about your anniversary trip! Love the turquoise/coral/red combo on you- super cute! Baywatch may be a fun date night for me and Robert. We always tease Ari that her boyfriend is John Cena, but she said she loves the Rock now, so she may be jealous if we go! Going to have to try those M&Ms! Have fun at the concert- they were just in Houston and made the news for stopping at Whataburger (a Texas burger chain) on their way to the airport.
ReplyDeleteI love your poppy red look with the jeans and necklace! I so want to re-create it. Have fun in Chicago.

A lovely 'copy' Andrea, also super looks of the week. Nice to link up again. x Jacqui
ReplyDeleteHandsome sons, great red/orange top and a good time in Chicago with your main squeeze. What more could you ask for? :o)) Happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteUmm? U2 and not one but TWO trips to Chicago? Mr. Nine is on a roll!! U2 was actually in Dallas last weekend - or maybe the weekend before? - and some friends of ours went. Wayne said if he had known, we probably would have gone too. NOW he tells me! Enjoy your weekend!
ReplyDeleteChicago AND U2?? How awesome! I haven't been to Chicago yet but it is on my short list! It's a quick flight and I think it would be a perfect girl's weekend trip!
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a fun family day!! Chicago sounds amazing!
ReplyDeleteSo funny - I was going to text you and ask what that gel was - and here it is! George and Thomas saw U2 a few weeks ago in Seattle and it was amazing - have so much fun!
ReplyDeleteGlad you got some much needed time with the offspring! I remember Differin gel but I swear it was Rx back in the day? Right? You looked gorgeous in your reds and oranges. I hope you and Mr. Nine have a fabulous U2 weekend and you find what you're looking for (get what I did there??? Yes, I'm a dork!) XOXOXOX
ReplyDeleteHappy Friday!!! You have such a fabulous life - love the Family Day...sounds like it was a blast. I think I need to try that Differin gel asap!!! You look amazing in all of this week's outfits and I love that red top paired with leopard print and a pop of turquoise - you look perfect in that outfit! Hope you have a wonderful weekend!! xo

Sounds like the perfect family day!! I have seen those M&Ms and I really wanted to try them! Now that I know they're actually good I'll have to pick some up!
ReplyDeleteYou had the perfect family day! Enjoy them before the boys all grow up and move who-knows-where. Love your outfits, especially the red top with the turquoise necklace. Enjoy your weekend! xoxo
ReplyDeleteYour family day sounds perfect!! I almost grabbed those caramel m&ms at the theater last weekend and now I'm thinking I need to find them!! Love your polka dot top and that bright coral top!! So cute!
ReplyDeleteI tried the caramel m&m's - so good! Love your coral top with the turquoise! I might have to look into that wrinkle product. Sounds like a fun weekend with family too!

An impromptu trip to Chicago to see US?! How fun!! Happy wedding anniversary to you and the Mr. So happy to hear you got the whole family together on Memorial weekend and got to enjoy a day together. I just tried the caramel M&M's this because and OMG yummy! I was immediately sold because I love caramel.
ReplyDeleteAwe! Your boys are super cute! I am glad you were able to spend some time with them. And I am obsessed with that red/orange top! I love your OOTD photos. I need to do that but I it's really hard. It might be easier now that it's light longer but I work 7:30am to 6pm so finding good light is hard! I hate taking phone photos but I just might have to! xoxo -Bri

ReplyDeleteHooray for family day! I can't wait to hear all about the Chicago trip. We need to get up there for a weekend again before my in-laws move to Pittsburgh. Though our weekend is sure to look more like parks, aquariums and zoos that I'm sure yours did ;-)
ReplyDeleteCaramel m&ms? I need to find those asap!
ReplyDeleteHappy Sunday!
ReplyDeleteWe saw Baywatch last weekend too; I thought it was so funny.
ReplyDeleteHope U2 did you lovebirds proud!
ReplyDeleteOh I can't wait to see Baywatch - it looks SO good!!! And glad you've gotten to spend some quality family time together - there is NOTHING better than that:)
ReplyDeleteWell, you're saying hello to June in skin fun and colourful way, Mrs N ! Lovely family times and I'd never think to put blue accessories to red, but in summer it works! Looking good.
ReplyDeleteFor 'skin' read 'a' !
DeleteThat bell sleeve top of yours is perfect! Love that color on you, yay for impromptu trips!
