What's Up Wednesday

And just like that March is over next week. We are still trying to figure out our weather around here, but thankfully, we have had a few days of higher 50s around here. Now let's keep that up for April and only go up from there, but not too high....just yet.


What's Up Wednesday

WHAT WE ARE EATING THIS WEEK...

Sunday: Spaghetti Bolognese (I feel like every time I post this, we eat this on this exact week.)

Monday: Last week, Nadine recommended Honey Siracha Glazed Meatballs, so I made that along with brown rice and peas.


Wednesday: Magnolia Table's Grilled Raspberry Chipotle Pork Tenderloin with Yukon Gold Potatoes and Corn


Friday: We are celebrating my MIL's birthday again with other family members.

Saturday: Pizza

WHAT I'M REMINISCING ABOUT...

Our past trips to Mexico and when the girls were little. Recently, the girls and I were hanging out and I picked up my phone and we watched video after video of the girls when they were little. I posted a few on my IG stories because I just couldn't believe how tiny they were.

WHAT I'M LOVING...

I am loving J Crew's scalloped tank tops. I wore one on Rory's birthday and it was perfect. I can't wait to wear it with white jeans this Spring/Summer.

Back when Nordstrom had their semi annual sale, I scooped up this Long Knit Blazer and I wear it everywhere. I wear it on my date nights, nights out with my friends and to work. It is so versatile and comfy.

I am wearing both items here.

WHAT WE'VE BEEN UP TO...

Well I went to Israel and Estonia for work, we have been going to dance class weekly, we celebrated my MIL and husband's birthdays and we have been getting ready for Spring and the upcoming gardening season.

WHAT I'M DREADING...

Nothing really. As long as the weather keeps getting better!

WHAT I'M WORKING ON...

My blog and my Instagram like always. Along those lines, I have been writing my posts ahead of time and planning out my posts better. This has been helpful in getting posts out on time....cough....on Mondays.

WHAT I'M EXCITED ABOUT...

Well, we are headed to Mexico in a couple of weeks and I couldn't be more excited. This is a trip that just Rory and I are headed out on. I can't wait to sleep in, hang out with my best friend, eat good food and explore. The girls will be with both sets of grandparents and they couldn't be more excited.

Another thing I am excited about...surgery. Not the surgery itself, but breathing. The whistling in my nose has gotten pretty bad. Especially at night and I am constantly waking Rory and myself up from it. I can't breathe out of my right side, especially with allergies getting worse at this time of the year.

WHAT I'M WATCHING/READING...

I seriously made no progress this month on the reading front. I am a few chapters in The Good Daughter and I do really like it, but have chose to look at Instagram or do other things when I have free time. I had every intention on reading that one and then Hidden Bodies when I was on my work trip, but I chose Netflix and new shows on there. This next month, I will be better.

As for TV, I have been watching my usuals like Grey's Anatomy, Million Dollar Listing LA, Riverdale, This is Us, Sneaky Pete (on Amazon Prime) and I started watching Working Moms (so funny and it's on Netflix) and Northern Rescue (really loving it). I have a few shows coming back and I can't wait for them to start.

WHAT I'M LISTENING TO...

Just people's fingers typing. It is pretty quite around here.

WHAT I'M WEARING...

I am finally starting to wear more short sleeve shirts. I haven't worn shorts yet, but I am hoping for that very soon. My legs need it before we head to Mexico. 

WHAT I'M DOING THIS WEEKEND...

Taking Walter to the vet for his normal check-up and vaccinations, hopefully enjoying the sunshine and not much else. Sounds like a pretty good weekend to me if the weather holds up. Fingers crossed.

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

Well April brings Easter, Mexico and my surgery, so it is looking to be a good month!

WHAT ELSE IS NEW...

Not much. The girls did move up to a new room at their pre-school. Their teachers felt like they were advancing, so they moved them up to the pre-k room early. A few of their friends came up too, but many of them are still down in the classroom before. Though they still get to see them when they go outside to play.

BONUS: What IS YOUR FAVORITE EASTER SIDE DISH?

Deviled eggs. I am not even sure if that is a real side dish or appetizer, but I can eat ALL.THE.DEVILED.EGGS.

    1. I love a good blazer! It makes me cry too and want another, but the cost, where we would put that baby, etc. Right now we have it down and I love that. I just miss their little baby faces. I can't wait for a fun break!
