What’s Up Wednesday (June 2024)
Today I am joining Shay and Sheaffer for their monthly link up, What’s Up Wednesday! I love these posts because they give a peak into day to day lives and truthfully, that is my favorite part of blogging and social media. I haven’t linked up for a What’s Up Wednesday in a long time so I am excited to join in today for another post!
1: WHAT WE’RE EATING THIS WEEK:
I shared our meal plan on IG this week and here it is again! Meal planning is so important for me so that we can stay on top of our food budget and because we are trying to eat healthy it helps us eat at home and eat better! I will be sharing our meals on IG throughout the week so be sure to follow me for some tips/recipes!
2. WHAT I’M REMINISCING ABOUT:
Last year we went to 30A for our summer vacation and I am thinking about all the fun we had in the sun and sand. We live in Florida so we get a dose of that weekly for sure but there is something about 30A that is just so special.
We went for spring break this week (we will save this spot for the summer in the future, it is still a little chilly there for spring break) and this summer we went to South Carolina to visit my Grandpa but I am excited to return again soon!
I have shared in the past a few blog posts about our time in 30A, if you have a trip planned you can check those out here…
3: WHAT I’M LOVING:
All the summer diffusing, the citrus oils paired with my favorite oils make me so happy!
4: WHAT WE’VE BEEN UP TO:
Just lots of summer stuff! Paisley did her last year of VBS earlier this month, we’ve been using our Disney passes (we did Epcot last week), lots of sourdough making and baking and truly, just really enjoying a slow summer.
5: WHAT I’M DREADING:
Nothing at the moment, thankfully!
6: WHAT I’M WORKING ON:
Currently working on revamping my social media, blog and boutique social media pages and websites! It is a slow time in retail so I always use the summer to revamp my systems and work on bettering everything for an efficient fall!
7: WHAT I’M EXCITED ABOUT:
All the summer fun we have planned while also working on all the behind the scenes stuff for my business!
8: WHAT I’M WATCHING/READING:
Watching a lot of Yankees games at night, even though they are really frustrating to watch right now, I still love watching my team and I love that having it on lets me do other things too without missing a show for instance. I love to read, scroll IG, do crosswords, etc while I watch!
Speaking of reading, I am on a Freida McFadden kick lately and working my way through her books on my Kindle.
9: WHAT I’M LISTENING TO:
Currently, I am rewatching Suits as I work in anticipation of the new season coming out soon so that is what I am currently listening to! If you have never watched the series, it is so good! I watched it years ago so I can’t remember everything but it all comes back to me as I watch. Currently, I am in season 2 so I have a long ways to go but it is the perfect binge-worthy show to rewatch while I work!
10: WHAT I’M WEARING:
A few recent outfits….lots of casual, cute and comfy!
If you follow me on LTK, I share all of my recent OOTD’s there throughout the week with links!
11: WHAT I’M DOING THIS WEEKEND:
The girls and I are kicking off the weekend by going to Animal Kingdom on Friday. We have never been to Ak so we are excited to check it out and spend the day having fun!
Then, we have a weekend of boating and cleaning the house this weekend. They for sure live their best lives on the boat and I do too! I love reading while they swim and the water is getting prettier every weekend.
12: WHAT I’M LOOKING FORWARD TO NEXT MONTH:
We are headed to Disney for the weekend with friends and we can’t wait! Since we visited my Grandpa in June and opted for a spring break vacay we aren’t traveling much this summer (especially since we got Disney passes this spring) so we are excited for a weekend away with friends!
13: FAVORITE AMAZON FIND OF THE MONTH:
Well this is perfect timing because I did a post earlier this week on what we have ordered recently from Amazon (you can read that here) and one of our favorite items is included.
I was sick of the many many many many summer dishes from the girls eating all day long (anyone else’s kids eat nonstop all summer long?) and I didn’t want to do paper plates because they are so wasteful and because they take up so much space in the garbage so I grabbed these and the girls have loved them
