What's Up Wednesday {1/25}








WHAT WE'RE EATING THIS WEEK... 

I actually meal planned this week! We are having Chicken Caesar salads, Linguine with Tomato Cream Sauce and Meatballs, Pioneer Woman's Simple, Perfect Chili, and also her Ginger Steak Salad. What are you eating?

WHAT I'M REMINISCING ABOUT... 
Today is my Dad's birthday. He would have been 71 today. I miss him so so much. I am trying to remember the good times today.

WHAT I'M LOVING... 
That we have already had snow once this year! Here in Virginia, we get snow, but not a lot. Especially in my area. So, things shut down and you actually get a snow day when even just a little snow falls. I am hoping for another good snow before snow season is over! I know, random, right?

WHAT WE'VE BEEN UP TO... 
We've been crazy busy! Eddie and I went to the International Builders' Show in Orlando earlier this month (if you'd like to read more about that click here and here). Elliot started Full Day school (yippee!!!) after Christmas Break and after they went back from being sick and the snow, I am enjoying a little extra time to get things done! I am running errands, and catching up on things that have been put off.


WHAT I'M DREADING... 
I think I say this every month...cleaning up my house. As I have also said before, we are moving (hopefully) this year and I need to start purging and organizing now. It's such a bug undertaking, I dread it. Once I get into it, I know I will be happy I did.

WHAT I'M WORKING ON... 
Blogging more and more consistently. Again, with the house cleaning. Being more organized. Meal planning more. You know...typical SAHM stuff. 

Trina and I have been collaborating with Allie over at A Gal Named Al to do a linkup called Ladies Who Link every 3rd Thursday. We hope you will join us!

WHAT I'M EXCITED ABOUT... 
Have I mentioned we're building a house? I love to go several times a week to check on the progress. It's so exciting to watch something we designed on a computer screen (with a professional) come to life in real life. Today, was a perfect day to lounge by the pool there...Ha!


WHAT I'M WATCHING/READING... 

I am watching the new PBS show, Victoria! I love it! If you haven't seen it...you must check it out. Especially if you were a fan of Downton Abbey! And you aren't too far behind! Only 2 episodes have aired.



WHAT I'M WEARING... 
My uniform! Jeans, boots, tee, scarf!

Patriotic Wear inspired by my children on Inauguration Day (as seen on social media)


My kids wore patriotic clothing for an event they were doing at school on Inauguration Day


WHAT I'M DOING THIS WEEKEND... 

Going to attend a school function. Every year they have a Grand Auction and it is themed. This year's theme is Mardi Gras! These are my selections. I don't know if I will be brave enough to do the eye makeup. We shall see!

WHAT I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO NEXT MONTH... 

Super Bowl! Even though my beloved Packers didn't make it. SO close, until the last game. We love the Super Bowl around here no matter who is playing!

AND Trina and I get to meet up later in the month! I always look forward to our rare occasions to see each other. I miss her so much!

WHAT ELSE IS NEW...
I think that covers it! Hope you are having a great start to the new year!

Happy Memorial Day!

Grab a cup of coffee and get comfy! Here is mine below! I felt like I needed my coffee to take the preparation for this project on! On Saturday, my family and I had over 3 other families for a pool party and cookout. Here are some of the things we did! My homemade cold brew iced coffee! On Friday, I ran errands collecting supplies for the party. I came across these cute paper platters at Target! They were great for holding the hamburgers, hot dogs and buns. I also picked up some bubbles for the little kids, some juice boxes and water bottles, and of course, some pool floats and noodles, it was a pool party after all! Is there anything Target doesn't have?! Here are a few of the decorations I put up just to make it a bit more festive. These would be great for a 4th of July or Labor Day party too!

Stranded! September 14: Movies

This month's Stranded Linkup hosted by Shay at Mix & Match Mama and Erika at A Little Bit of Everything is all about Movies!! I don't know about you, but this is a tough one! I love so many movies! I think these three I could watch over and over and over. I think that I have to go with my all-time favorite movie as a child for the first pick. 1st Pick Oh my gosh, you guys! I LOVED this movie SO much when I was little! Hayley Mills is my favorite! This version was the only one in existence when I was young, so I am biased and think this one is MUCH better than the Lindsay Lohan remake. 2nd Pick I mean, who doesn't love Will Ferrell and his crazy antics?! And in a holiday movie!?! We have watched this so many times during Christmastime and every other time of the year! My kids can quote many favorite lines! 3rd Pick I think this one needs to be a newer comedy that my husband and I have watched so many times. I LOVE Paul Rud...
