What’s Up Wednesday: 1/27/21

It’s What’s Up Wednesday! 

Each month we share what’s going on in our lives. A little about what we are eating, loving, dreading, watching, listening to, and so much more! 

What we’re eating

Monday- Hambuger helper, carrots, and Caesar salad 

Tuesday- Leftover hamburger helper, corn, and Texas toast

And the rest of the week ??? I am not a meal planner as you can tell.  

What I’m reminiscing about

Our little getaway that we took a few weeks ago to the zoo! 

 It was so nice to escape the day to day. I am already thinking about a getaway to the beach in the spring. We have realized that having something to look forward to helps A LOT. 

What I’m loving

I am still thinking about all the goodies I found this weekend at Wal-Mart and Target.  Lots of great sweatshirts! If you missed it, you can read about it HERE. I’ll be going back to buy the Cool Mom shirt😎

What I’ve been up to

Prepping for Valentine’s Day! Gathering all the goodies to give to the boys, friends, neighbors, and loved ones.

What I’m dreading 

Organizing! I don’t necessarily dread it. It’s the getting started that is always the hardest part. 

What I’m working on 

Just working on my to-do list from 2021!

Staying connected✔️

Increase vitamins ✔️

Increase blogging and link-ups✔️

But I have so much more work to do!  

What I’m excited about

Valentine’s Day!  I love that the gifts do not have to be big to show someone they are loved. 

What I'm watching

We watched The Croods a couple of weeks ago. It’s really funny and it has such a great message.  There is a Croods 2 but we will wait for it to come out on Netflix. Of course, when I’m alone then it is on Bravo so I can catch up. 

What I'm listening to

Honestly, a sound machine while trying to get C to sleep. BTW- he did not nap! 

What I’m wearing

My day to day is usually a tunic and leggings but what makes the most impact are my N&S earrings! 





So many styles and the best leather earrings!  I would recommend following Kilee Nickels (Founder/CEO of N&S) because you will fall in love with her style, positivity, girl power, and adorable family.  I’ve had a serious girl crush on her since 2014. 

What I’m doing this weekend 

We are going to try and visit an outdoor dinosaur exhibit since this is the last weekend that it will be available. Of course, it depends on the weather. WAH! 

What I’m looking forward to next month 

All the pink, red, glitter, and hearts galore for Valentine’s Day!! 

 

Thanks for stopping by!  I will be sharing another fun link up tomorrow.

    You are so right that getting started is the hardest part of organizing. I've been putting off dealing with our basement all month. Ugh.

Happy Wednesday, friends!  Today, I am joining Anne from  In Residence  for her monthly  Currently   post.  The first Wednesday of the month she provides a one word prompt to discuss and share. These are so fun to write up and to read.   Currently Arranging: Our  new rug! We had been waiting on one we ordered back in December that was a Magnolia rug but after the date of arrival getting pushed back several times we just decided to get something in stock. We ordered both rugs from the furniture store we got our sectional. We are loving our new rug!  Currently Craving:  Ahhhh, without a doubt my mom’s home cooking. Nuff said!!  Currently Discussing: We have definitely been going round and round with the “what if’s” about my possible job opportunities. It’s a little exciting and scary to think about having to make a decision.  Lots of praying going on too!  Currently Enjoying: We got the pics back from the “personality photo” session.  Y’all, they are precious!  If you have older kids thi

Honoring Dr. King

Image
Hey there!   I am linking up with a great group of bloggers:  In honor of Dr. King, I wanted to share what I’ll be doing to remember and honor him. What remarkable words!  I thought it would be fun for the boys to color a picture of MLK. There are tons on  Pinterest but I really like this one from Crayola . If you have older kiddos, you can always google “facts about MLK.” It’s  a great way to discuss and learn more about him with your family. Martin Luther King, Jr. is taught in textbooks at school but how amazing would it be to bring the conversation into our homes about MLK and the Civil Rights Movement.  Did you know that MLK basically skipped high school? He attended Morehouse College when has was 15! He skipped 9th - 12th grade.  That is one of the facts I learned while researching about him.  I’ll leave you with a few more nuggets. Let’s DO better and BE better!  Make it a great Monday, friends.  -A-

Friday Favorites: 1/22/21

Ahhhhhh, it's my favorite day of the week! Anyone else feel like January is flying by?! Kinda loving it because spring is coming.  I am joining Erika and Andrea for their fabulous link up:  ONE:    We went on a little trip to the Tyler Zoo on Sunday.  It is a smaller zoo than Dallas or Ft. Worth but I tend to enjoy them even more because it is more manageable with the boys. We saw some great animals!  This longhorn was beautiful!  The lion was very active and kept roaring.   He was so loud and could be heard all over the zoo.  These guys scared me because I thought the cage was empty until I spotted them in the corner.   The only downfall for me was that there were way too many people not wearing masks for my comfort level.  We have visited 2 other smaller zoos in the past few months and generally most people will wear a mask even though we are outdoors. We kept our distance from people, avoided the enclosed areas, and avoided the animals that were crowded. It was a fun zoo and t
