WUW: February 2021

 Hey, 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! 

Linking up with:

What we’re eating

M- buttered pasta, green beans, and TX toast

T- chicken fried steak, instant mashed potatoes, carrots, and salad

???? 

What I’m reminiscing about

Since we are coming up on the one year anniversary of COVID, I have been thinking a lot about life before it hit.  My job, the kids going to daycare, seeing family without hesitation...just a lot of those thoughts.  

What I’m loving

These sunnies from Apple Blvd

What I’ve been up to

Just pinning away on my Pinterest boards.  I have completely remodeled our master bedroom, laundry room, fireplace, and pantry on Pinterest.   

What I’m dreading 

It’s not really dreading but now is the time to be submitting resumes and interviewing for the 21-22 school year. I feel like I have big decisions to make so just praying for guidance. 

What I’m excited about

My parents were able to get their first dose of the vaccine. They live in a small town and it felt like they were never going to have the opportunity but after about 200+ calls they finally got an appt. Hallelujah!  We know that they will still need to take precautions but it gave us a little sense of relief. 

What I’m watching 

 This is Us

To All the Boys I Loved Before 3

Firefly Lane, I am hooked!

Also, THIS


I had mentioned on Monday that D loves to say Grinch and he just loves this movie. So we have been watching it a lot! 

What I'm listening to

A lot of toddler music! 

What I’m wearing

Friday jeans day! It’s been fun getting out of my leggings and sort of a reality check about my weight. 


I promise, I wore jeans on this day but only focused on the earrings😹

What I’m doing this weekend 

There is rain this weekend so maybe just movies and cleaning up.  On Saturday, we will go to a play place that I rented for an hour just for us.  So thankful for businesses that have made it affordable for families to do this during this time.  

What I’m looking forward to next month 

Warmer temps, sandals, pastel colors and a little faux tan ;)

Thanks for joining me today! See you tomorrow for Monthly Musings.

    Those sunglasses are adorable. The TATBIL movies are the best. I don't think I've seen that version of The Grinch. I need to watch it. I also have Firefly Lane on my list of things to watch but I think I want to read the book first.

      This version feels a little more updated with current music and is super cute! We have been watching OnDemand. I thought about reading the books but I needed a new show and caved. HA!

    I loved To All the Boys I Have Loved part 3. It was so cute and light hearted. I finished Firefly and it is soooo good. I am dreading this upcoming school year as my girls will be in public school and I worry that all the pandemic stuff will still be going on. Ugh.

      I keep thinking about Firefly Lane and hope to watch a little more over the weekend. I know it is hard to think about next school year...let’s hope for a more normal year. That is what I am wishing for!!!

    Ugh -- my in laws have called hundreds of times {Iowa} and only one of them has been able to secure a vaccination. So stressful! :(

    Love your earrings!!

      That is so frustrating! Tell them to keep at it and to not give up. I will say a little prayer too! The earrings are Nickel and Suede...seriously the BEST!

    I'm so glad your parents got vaccination appointments. And yes, I think a lot of us are reminiscing about life this time last year. It appears to be a common theme this month. We have rain today too so we're staying home and cleaning up our basement. Enjoy your play place time -- that sounds way more fun!

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
