What’s Up Wednesday (June 2023)
Hi friends! Happy hump day!
Gosh, can you believe that it is already the end of June and that summer break is halfway over? It has been a busy and fun month over here in the Rogers house and while some days, I am ready for routine again of school most days, I am soaking in the relaxed schedules and extra time with the girls.
Here are 3 happy, sleeping in girls while I type this LOL
Today I am linking up for What’s Up Wednesday with Sheaffer and Shay to catch you up on a little life lately!
Let’s dive in…
1: WHAT WE’RE EATING THIS WEEK:
Monday - Leftovers, I cooked all weekend so we had lots of leftovers to get through.
Tuesday - Spaghetti and meatballs
Wednesday - Breakfast for Dinner (always a big hit around here)
Thursday - Homemade Mexican Pizzas
Friday - Tacos
I shared on IG over the weekend an easy meal that I made that was a huge hit with my family. I am going to share the recipe on the blog next week but if you are looking for a great weeknight meal, my family loved this one.
2. WHAT I’M REMINISCING ABOUT:
Quiet days in my house working…haha, kidding. Kind of. Working from home during summer is pure chaos sometimes.
But mostly, reminiscing about our last summer in Jersey a couple years ago. My Facebook timehop has been chalk full of NY/NJ memories as we did all our favorite things before our big move and dang, I miss the northeast so much!
3: WHAT I’M LOVING:
Watching Yankees baseball everyday. Even though they aren’t doing so hot I love baseball on in the background especially during the summer.
Also loving getting my house reorganized after a busy school year. I have spent a lot of time clearing out and cleaning cabinets, the pantry, fridge, craft closet, the girls rooms, etc. Feels so nice to declutter.
4: WHAT WE’VE BEEN UP TO:
A lot of time on the water. We bought a boat in May and have been out on it pretty much every weekend since we got it.
We also went to Top Golf for Father’s Day and we all fell in love with golf. I definitely see some lessons happening soon.
5: WHAT I’M DREADING:
Not much of anything right now which is always great.
6: WHAT I’M WORKING ON:
Shop Rooted and Free is having our first ever online warehouse sale. We have over 60 items on sale for $20 or less to make way for new inventory. Things are selling out fast and it has been so fun to watch the shelves clear so I can get some new stuff in.
Summer months in retail are always slow (they call them the “J” months) so it has been fun to see sales happening and hard work paying off in the summer.
7: WHAT I’M EXCITED ABOUT:
Joe has to go to Ft Lauderdale for work the end of July and we are going to tag along. We are excited for a few days away and bonus, it is where I grew up so I am pumped to take the girls to places I went to growing up. I have taken Cam quite a few times but the girls have never been so it should be a fun weekend away.
8: WHAT I’M WATCHING/READING:
I tried to find a new series to watch and I just couldn’t get into anything so I have been watching documentaries. I watched Shiny Happy People and Take Care of Maya recently both were 🤯…especially the Maya one since that happened here in our area and All Children’s is the go to hospital for kids in our area.
I also stumbled upon the Magnolia Network, which I love Joanna Gaines so this was exciting and I have binge watched her cooking show the last week. I love that I can half pay attention and still watch it and keep up plus, it has inspired me to start cooking again since I haven’t been great about being in the kitchen.
9: WHAT I’M LISTENING TO:
Lot’s of country music. Specifically Luke Combs and Lainey Wilson since we are headed to the concert next Friday.
10: WHAT I’M WEARING:
Lots of dresses, bathing suits and workout gear.
Ya’ll it is hot in Florida (and then freezing cold in the AC) so I am dressing for comfort and to combat two different temps. Lol.
11: WHAT I’M DOING THIS WEEKEND:
Celebrating 4th of July. We will be on the boat a bunch and enjoying the water.
12: WHAT I’M LOOKING FORWARD TO NEXT MONTH:
Our Ft Lauderdale trip!
13: FAVORITE AMAZON PURCHASE THIS MONTH:
I actually put together a favorite little Amazon lately a couple days ago…
CeraVe Makeup Remover Wipes - I was on the hunt recently for makeup remover that didn’t irritate my skin but also didn’t break the bank! I have been so impressed with these.
Retainer Case - This could not scream mom life more but these are amazing if you have a kid transitioning out of braces. We did the multi pack so we could have them at home, in my purse, in her bag, etc. Better to stash a few around so if she forgets or loses one we have a back up!
Taylor Swift Posters - We did a little refresh on the girls rooms to kick off summer and they both wanted some T-Swift posters in their room. These are super cute and I loved that they were smaller so that they could accept the room but not overpower.
High Waisted Bikini - High waists are moms best friend! I grabbed this for fourth of July (to wear with my Shop R+F USA hat) and I love it. Super cute. Super affordable and sucks everything in.
Maui Babe Browning Lotion - I realized when I restocked my sunscreen that my tanning lotion was almost gone. I saw this on IG and immediately grabbed some and fell in love!
