There’s still plenty of time this season to sail away! ⛴️🌊✨

A trip to Block Island is the perfect way to soak up the last days of summer, beautiful beaches, amazing restaurants, local shops, and those island views that never get old!☀️

And getting there is half the fun! Hop aboard the Block Island Ferry and make a day of it. Whether you’re planning a family adventure, a day with friends, or a quick island escape… Block Island is calling! 💙

New running shoes = immediate motivation to go for a run 🏃‍♀️👟

You already know I love Yorker Shoes , but this time they helped me find the perfect pair of Brooks! They measured my feet, made sure the fit was just right, and then obviously I had to take them straight to the park for a test run. 🤭

Safe to say… they passed the test. ✔️

There really is such a difference when you’re wearing a shoe that’s actually fitted for YOU. If you’re due for a new pair, go see the team at Yorker Shoes! 🤍

The fake pool fall definitely got me 😂😭

But once I recovered from that, I got to tour one of the most beautiful homes I’ve seen in Bristol. Every detail inside felt so intentional, and the backyard… let’s just say I’d never leave.

Jenny Palm knows how to throw a Broker’s Open too. Great food, a bartender, live music, and a house that’s somehow even better in person than it is in photos.

Not a bad way to spend an afternoon. 🤍🏡

I had no idea how much there was to do here. 🎾🤍

From playing games in the Fan Zone, grabbing some free goodies, shopping (and trying very hard not to buy every tennis outfit 😅), sipping on their signature cocktail, and ending the day walking through the museum… this was such a fun way to spend the afternoon in Newport.

And if you’re a Roger Federer fan, definitely don’t skip the museum, the exhibit is so well done.

Whether you’re obsessed with tennis or just looking for something different to do this summer, I’d absolutely add the International Tennis Hall of Fame to your Newport bucket list. ☀️✨

Have you ever been?

Fourth of July weekend = brunch. 🇺🇸

Stopped by T’s and had to try the America 250 Waffle, the Bagel Me Crazy, a strawberry matcha, and their blueberry lemonade… and they all lived up to the hype.

If you’re looking for a spot to grab breakfast or brunch this weekend, definitely put T’s on your list. Good food, good drinks, and the perfect way to kick off the holiday.

Happy 4th! ❤️🤍💙

Summer with kids is amazing… but let’s be honest, it’s also expensive. ☀️😅

Between camps, ice cream runs, beach days, and trying to keep them entertained, it feels like your wallet is working overtime.

That’s why I thought this was actually pretty cool.

I stopped by Navigant Credit Union to learn more about their Embark account, which helps kids and teens start building smart money habits early. And right now, anyone who opens an Embark account is automatically entered to win prizes like Beats Solo 4 headphones and an Amazon gift card.

The part I loved most? Teaching kids about money doesn’t have to be boring. Small lessons now can turn into big habits later.

Would you trust your child with their own debit card? 👀 Let me know in the comments.

Sometimes the best friendships start with a bowl of chowder!

Lily shared the sweetest story about a longtime customer she lovingly called her “chowder friend.” She’d make sure he always had chowder, even freezing extra for him to enjoy later. Then one day, her kids finally got to meet the legendary chowder friend in person, and they were just as excited as you’d imagine. 😂

Proof that good food brings people together… and apparently creates local celebrities too. ❤️

Want to hear the full story? Make sure to watch the entire episode of with Lily Scott from Lily’s Soups & Scoops on WPRI.com or download the 12+ app on your TV to catch this episode and all of our conversations.

Nobody talks about oil changes until their car starts making weird noises. 😬

I stopped by Paul Masse and learned why this simple service can actually save you thousands in the long run. It’s quick, affordable, and one of the easiest ways to keep your vehicle running the way it should.

So now I’m curious…

Are you someone who gets oil changes right on time, or do you wait until the sticker is basically faded away?

Oh and one last thing…. You could win FREE oil changes for a YEAR! Go checkout their Facebook or instagram to learn more. 🤩
