Since I do Recipe Club on the last Wednesday of every month, I've missed out on the opportunity to link up with some of my favorite girls for What's Up Wednesday. So today I'm showing up tardy for the party, or maybe I could say I'm just super early for next month.
- WHAT WE'RE EATING -
This week we've been eating Chicken Spaghetti. Not typical summer fare, but sometimes you just need some comfort food. I omit the green peppers and my kids gobble this up. With a big salad it's one of my favorite dinners.
- WHAT I'M REMINISCING ABOUT -
Summers past! That DANG Facebook app thing that tells you "what happened on this day" in years past is KILLING me! I have a total love/hate relationship with it. Why do babies have to grow up so fast?!?!?!

- WHAT I'M LOVING -
I've been loving some one-on-one time with my best girl while the boys are at VBS this week.
We've been running lots of errands and holding hands (errr.... I hold her wrist, she screeches WALK and tries to pull away, repeat).
We've been snuggling and trying on headbands way too late in the morning.
And yesterday she and I hit up Anthropologie and she walked around like she owned the place.
The sweet sales clerk gave her her own bag and she immediately popped Baby into the bag and strutted off toward the door.
WALK, MOMMY!!! ;)

- WHAT WE'VE BEEN UP TO -
This week has been jam packed with VBS, errands and swimming lessons in the afternoon. We've been loving every minute of it, but sweating our hineys off at the same time as it's been 95+ degrees every day. ICK.
- WHAT I'M DREADING -
The heat. I'm a total whiner about it and I am not looking forward to feeling sweaty for the next three months. ;)
- WHAT I'M EXCITED ABOUT -
I've been working with Ashleigh on something AMAZING and near and dear to her heart and I can't wait to tell everyone about it (hopefully) next week. It's going to be epic!
- WHAT I'M WATCHING -
Y'all. Where has Mad Men been all my life?!?! I started it a couple of weeks ago (maybe last week?) and I am currently on season 6. Yes, it's that awesome. I'm watching it on Netflix and I highly recommend it.
- WHAT I'M LISTENING TO -
Honestly? I'm listening to Sofia The Firsts Holiday in Enchancia play on the DVD player in my van as I cart my children around :)
- WHAT I'M WEARING -
I broke down and bought this jumpsuit from Anthropologie yesterday and LOVE it! I have plans to wear it to dinner on Thursday night and will share a pic then. But trust me, it's fabulous.
- WHAT I'M DOING THIS WEEKEND -
I'm hosting a baby shower (eeeek!) so fun!!! And am taking the boys to see Chuggington Live! We'll top it off with dinner with friends and hopefully some pool time. Can't wait!
- WHAT I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO NEXT MONTH -
We rented a place in Vail, Colorado and we have plans to road trip there and do nothing except enjoy time as a family in the cool mountain air.
I'm so glad that I made it to the party, even if I was fashionably late.
Tomorrow I'm so excited to show y'all a super fun "theme day" I did with the kids last week.
Get excited!
I've been meaning to do one of these too but I always link up to your recipe club instead. Lol. You are gonna rock that jumpsuit. I have no doubt. Can't wait to see!!
ReplyDeleteWe can have our own party the week after recipe club :) Sharing the jumpsuit pics tomorrow!
DeleteGirl!!! I can't wait to see that jumpsuit on Thursday night!!
ReplyDeleteHoping it lived up to the hype!!!
DeleteOooh, I want that Facebook app. Can you tell me the exact name? I looked in the App Store but couldn't find it.
ReplyDeleteLove the jumpsuit-it's totally you!
Timehop. You can link it to all your social media accounts :)
DeleteSarah, there is also a new feature on Facebook itself that allows you to do this. It's not a different app. It just show memories within Facebook for years past. Just go to www.facebook.com/onthisday and once you are logged in under Facebook there you just turn on your notifications for it. Timehop is great too for a app that shows all past posts for Twitter, Instagram and Facebook.
DeleteI've just beein using the feature "On this day" I am so not FB savvy apparently :) hahaha
DeleteSo fun!! I love this!!
ReplyDeleteYay! I'm so glad you posted with us!! I can't wait to see you in your jumpsuit tomorrow night! And I know your family is going to have the best time in Vail!!
ReplyDeleteHope it lived up to the hype! :) hahaha
DeleteHi there! I'm a big fan of your blog, adorable family and style. I absolutely love your swim suit you posted about the other day and was wondering if you had any suggestions for cheaper suits. Thank you!!
ReplyDeleteTarget has been hit or miss for me in the past, I haven' tchecked them out this year, but they may have some! I've also had occasional luck at TJ Maxx!
DeleteHi Andrea!
ReplyDeleteHave a great time in Colorado! I used to live there and my husband used to work in Denver, it's a great state and I'm sure you and your family will love it! P.S. LOVE the jumpsuit!
Thanks, Lisa!!! We're so excited!
DeleteGirl I am with you on the summer heat. I hate it ! Is it fall yet????
ReplyDeleteMaybe if I burn enough fall scented candles it will come :)
DeleteAwww! Loved your summer flashback pics! And I had an idea. As a teenager, Griffin needs to get a job at Anthro. Genius.
ReplyDeleteYES!!! She totally does. I'm setting my phone alarm to remind me to tell her that in 14 years :)
DeleteI love these type of posts, Several items... Love that jumpsuit - as others commented, totally you. I also dread the summer heat - major heat wimp here, and we have no humidity. Give me a day under 75 degrees. How is Ashleigh - I haven't seen any updated blog posts unless I am missing something. Keeping her and her family and "community" in prayers.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for thinking of and praying for Ashleigh! She's currently looking for a trial to be a part of.
DeleteCan't wait to see what you're doing with Ashleigh!!!
ReplyDeleteHopefully it will be ready on Monday or Tuesday!!!
DeleteYou are going to love Vail! My parents have a timeshare there and our family usually goes with them every other summer. It is amazing! You will love the cooler temperatures.
ReplyDeleteI'm soooooooooo excited!!! :)
DeleteWhile your staying in Vail drive down to Frisco, rent bikes (they have carriage hitches too for the littlies and bike around to Breckenridge. Catch the Gondola up to Peak 9 and they have an awesome FREE summer activity park set-up including a snow patch. There are flying fox swings, sleds and gold-panning. We went last summer and it was so much fun, and Breckenridge always reminds me of the Gilmore Girls town!
ReplyDeleteOOOOH!!! Writing these down to check out! Thank you!
DeleteWe just got back from staying in Colorado! The weather was a nice break from the Oklahoma heat and humidity.
ReplyDeleteI'm so looking forward to it!
DeleteYea Colorado! It's the best in the summer...y'all will have so much fun!! :)
ReplyDeleteWe can't wait!!!
DeleteThe jumpsuit is totally you! Can't wait to see the pic;) Loving the little slices you share of your life.
ReplyDeleteSharing it tomorrow - hope it lives up to the hype!
DeleteThat chicken dish looks delicious and your pictures of the kids are so cute.
ReplyDeleteIt's the best!!! and so are my kids :) hahaha
DeleteLove the Vail vacation idea! I'm hoping my husband and I can do an active vacation like that soon. It looks beautiful! Obsessed with the jumpsuit, as well.

We're not really "lay on the beach" people - so we're hoping to start this kind of trip as a family tradition
DeleteThose flashback photos are sooo cute!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Mattie!!!
DeleteI'm ready for fall already! Why would we want to sweat when we can wear layers and scarves!?!? :)
