What’s Up Wednesday (April 2023)

Hi friends! Happy hump day!

It's been a while since I did What’s Up Wednesday with Sheaffer and Shay — well, technically I just skipped March but when you have a monthly link up, skipping one month makes it feel like a long time! I can’t even remember why I didn’t do it in March but that is neither here nor there, lol.

It has been a busy few weeks around here and we are gearing up for another busy month in May as pop up season comes to a close and as school ends for the year. I don’t know about you but I am actually craving the slower schedules, the days by the pool and at the beach and the break from the non-stop on the go. By August I will be ready for it all again for but now, this mama is ready for things to slow way down for summer.

Anyways, let’s jump into WUW before I head to my pop up!

1: WHAT WE’RE EATING THIS WEEK:

We are keeping it simple over here since our schedules have been so busy.

Monday - BBQ chicken, couscous and salad

Tuesday - Leftovers from the night before and Sunday (Tacos)

Wednesday - Pizza, I have a pop up so Joe and the kids will have pizza and I will grab food at my event

Thursday - Hot Dogs and French Fries, not my fav but requested by the kids and we have cheer so its easy to put together

Friday - Order out

2. WHAT I’M REMINISCING ABOUT:

Not much actually. Looking forward to the future and not really reminiscing about a lot.

3: WHAT I’M LOVING:

Having the MLB channel. Lol. Is that silly? Maybe.

I have shared before but I have been having a hard time loving books or TV shows lately and when I am home working I like noise in the background. Usually I will rewatch Grey’s or listen to music while I work but I have been loving watching the Yankees instead. And its fun to watch at night too when I can’t get into anything else but just want to rest, its been so nice to have it!

4: WHAT WE’VE BEEN UP TO:

Work.

Cheer.

School.

Repeat.

5: WHAT I’M DREADING:

Thursday is 3 years since we lost my Grandma and I just dread the day so much. I am going to try to keep myself busy but I know emotionally, it is going to be a hard day for all of us. I dread this day every year and I just hope that it comes and goes quickly.

6: WHAT I’M WORKING ON:

I have a huge festival this weekend, the Brooksville Blueberry Festival so I have been hard at work prepping all my inventory for it. Next week I have new arrivals, Gathered and another big event on Siesta Key so it is a big work season for me before a lot of my events break for the summer.

7: WHAT I’M EXCITED ABOUT:

We are boat shopping right now so I am excited for a summer on the water and lots of new ways to make memories. We have always wanted to a boat and now that the kids are older it feels like a great time to do it.

8: WHAT I’M WATCHING/READING:

Currently, the Yankees game! Lol. My favorite picture of my all time favorite player below!

I am making my way through CoHo’s Hopeless series right now and Joe and I watched The Night Agent this weekend which we both loved.

9: WHAT I’M LISTENING TO:

Lot’s of country music. And JT always.

10: WHAT I’M WEARING:

My outfits have been lots of casual everyday outfits. Between work, volunteering in school and cheer I am on the go and outside a lot so easy outfits that are comfortable are my jam.

11: WHAT I’M DOING THIS WEEKEND:

Working all weekend at the Blueberry Festival!

12: WHAT I’M LOOKING FORWARD TO NEXT MONTH:

May is a big month for us — our anniversary, Mother’s Day, Savannah turns 12, end of school year! It is a busy one!

13: FAVORITE AMAZON PURCHASE THIS MONTH:

Mostly my Amazon is filled with stuff for work since I have been really trying to curb mindless spending and shopping but I did recently grab some stuff we needed for the house including new shower curtains, new bedding, a frying pan and this little handheld vacuum/44izRSD. We’ve had a ton over the years because they are cheap and don’t last long but I can’t bring myself to spend hundreds of dollars on one! This has been great and super easy to use.
