Thanks for joining Coco and me for the June Ultimate Coffee Date today. Nothing better than sitting down for a cup of your favorite drink with a bunch of your favorite friends to catch up. I’ve got so much to tell you today so let’s get right to it.
June Ultimate Coffee Date
If we were having coffee, I would tell you…
I’m so happy that my daughter is back from her semester abroad in Israel. She has been studying in Tel Aviv since mid January and I’ve missed her so much. It was fabulous to live vicariously through all of her adventures through Europe the past few months but I am so glad to have her back for the summer. This momma is so happy when all of her baby birds are home in the nest together.
If we were having coffee, I would tell you…
This weekend officially kicks off all of our graduation festivities for son. My baby is graduating and next week and our graduation party is tomorrow. While I do miss the days of paper invites and correspondence, planning a party with Paperless Post is a breeze. They have so many great options for all kinds of party themes. Hoping the weather cooperates for our pool party otherwise, I will have lots of BBQ eating kids inside the house.
If we were having coffee, I would tell you…
This was my first week of following the workouts from Coach Amber for my triathlon training. She is a big fan of the heart rate training, which I have never done. I’d say my first week was tough and I really did not complete the workouts as directed. Baby steps!
If we were having coffee, I would tell you…
As soon as we finish all of our graduation festivities next week, we are jetting off to Italy for a fun family vacation. More on that later of course. I am already dreaming about Gelato and pasta…
I’ve been rambling on our whole Ultimate Coffee Date! It’s your turn, if we were having coffee together what would you tell me?

Aww, welcome back to your daughter!! :] + yay for graduation!! Best of luck to you on the triathlon training too!
It’s great to have everyone home for graduation.
It’s been a busy time for you! So happy that your daughter is back home. I bet she has so many exciting stories about her time abroad!
Yes she definitely had a ton of adventures and she was quite the world traveler.
Enjoy this exciting time with your family!
Thanks! We do have a lot going on
Yay on your daughter being home! And your son graduating! I hope the weather cooperates for the party. Wow on your trip to Italy. I’ve never been there. I guess you got a HRM for your Fenix?
Yes lots of exciting things going on! I am so over our weather though and it’s only June. I did get a HRM but I really have no idea how to use it for training. It has me in the default zones which I do not think are right for me. So I am already frustrated!
Happy Graduation to your son! How wonderful to have the nest full for a bit! Has Coach Amber given you the FPT test? That’s a killer but its the best way to calculate training HR zones. OMG Italy sounds divine. What parts will you visit?
I will check out the FPT test I am not familiar with it thanks! Yes it’s great to have everyone home together. We are going to stay in Lake Garda up near Milan with day trips to Venice, Bologna and Verona. I am sure it will do wonders for my figure lol
Have fun in Italy!!! I can’t wait to see your pictures!!
I am really excited about it!
Congrats to your son! And I bet it is so nice to have your daughter home.
Can’t wait to hear more about your trip to Italy!
Thanks for coffee 🙂
I am so happy to have them both at home.
Your daughter must have so many stories to tell! I’m so jealous of Italy!! I want to go.
She had so many adventures it’s fun to hear about them all. She was quite the traveler the last few months
Wow! What a wonderful post full of so many great things! Congrats on your son’s graduation, and I also love to have all my kids home together with me- something very comforting for a momma about that!Can’t wait to hear about Italy!
Thanks I am really so happy to have them both home with us at the same time!
So much going on! My previous tri coach loved heart rate training. I struggled at first but ended up loving it. I ended up with my best times by following HRT. I hope it works out for you!
Thanks that is promising to hear! I need to figure it out for sure
How great that your whole family is back together again. You guys are going to have a great time in Italy!
I’ve always wanted to try heart rate training, and I’m looking forward to hearing how it goes for you.
Thanks and I will let you know!
I totally understand the feeling of having all the baby birds in the nest …Mommas love having all of their chicks under their wings. Congratulations on the sons graduation… so exciting. Have so much fun in Italy … Its on my list of places to go back too because we loved it so much! Can’t wait to hear all about it!
Thanks I am excited to have everyone in the nest right now. Looking forward to my Italy trip as well
I’m glad your daughter got home safe and sound Deborah! I bet it was so much fun to hear more about her adventures. Fingers crossed the weather is nice for your son’s party too 🙂
For some reason this was in my spam just found it. Yes it’s great to have her home safe and sound
Nice that your daughter had the opportunity to study abroad but equally nice to have her home I’m sure.
I love Italy! I’ve only gone once but would live to go back. Have fun!
Thanks! We are really excited about it.
Congratulations to your son on his graduation! I did not realize that you are planning a tri. That is exciting! Good luck. I have done exactly ONE. I loved it, though and am glad I did it. Hubby and I are also going to Italy in September. We will have to get some tips from you. 🙂
Yes I’ve been doing sprint tri races for a few years now. Hoping to find a way to get better on the post bike run. Yay for Italy for both of us
How nice that your daughter is home and your son is graduating!
Thanks! Fun time for us all
I’m glad your daughter is back home in the best with you! Your week sounds similar to mine (a week ago) when we had a grad party on tap. Italy??? Oh, I’m so jealous !!
Yes I am exactly a week behind you with the grad stuff. It’s a crazy but fun time around here.
My parents took me to Italy when I graduated from college. We had gelato every day, and there are so many gelato shops.
I am excited about eating my way through the country 🙂
Wow, Italy! Can I be child #3?
Congrats to your son! We didn’t have a big party, just a small family gathering. It’s what Matthew wanted and i’m actually ok with it.
Yes I’m really excited that we all have a chance to get away together. Life is going by so quickly right now!
That’s so great your daughter is back! I love that you even went in to meet her… with a sign!!! not doing a semester abroad is my biggest regret from college.
I am so glad to have her back! The sign is kind of a joke but she loved it. Not going abroad was my biggest college regret as well ( well sorta…LOL)
How exciting! Congrats to your son!
Interested to hear about the HR training. My HR is always through the roof when I run but not when I bike. Maybe I’m not trying hard enough 😉
My hr is always higher running than biking. hope I can figure it out
I hope your son has an awesome graduation party and I know you’ll all have a blast on vacation in Italy – you have such a beautiful family!
Triathlon training with a coach sounds exciting – I’ve never done the HR training but heard great things 🙂
Thanks for hosting!
Yes I hope I can figure out the hr training!
congrats to your new grad!!! Have fun in Italy!
Thanks so much! So great to see you back in the blog world
I see you’ve bought the “new” Starbucks mug. I think they are pretty, but am having a hard time not collecting the other style. 😉 I agree! Having all the baby birds at home makes this Mom happy too! I hope you enjoy your vacation. I am beachside with my feet up as we speak. Thanks for the coffee!
So I never bought any of the original collection of the mugs and I felt left out 🙂 So-I decided to try with this collection.
