What’s Up Wednesday Link Up

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:

Each Monday I share our weekly meal plan so I will link that below! We are in the thick of school, work and cheer so we keep things very easy around here during the fall for dinner and we eat lots of leftovers.

This week’s meal plan with recipe links.

2. WHAT I’M REMINISCING ABOUT:

I’ve really been missing summer break and having the girls home with me. I usually love getting back into the school routine but something about this school year, I am just craving that time we had as a family. Slow mornings, day adventures, lots of giggles around the house and just them being home.

I don’t know if it is me getting older, if my anxiety is making me feel this way (I have been struggling with my anxiety a lot lately) or I am just absolutely loving the ages the girls are at but gosh, I am bummed school is back in and we aren’t driving up to Disney each week.

3: WHAT I’M LOVING:

I recently started making this yogurt and chia seed breakfast bowl and I am obsessed. I look forward to eating it every morning and it is super easy to whip up which I love too. I don’t like spending a ton of time preparing my breakfast/lunch and this being quick and delicious is right up my alley!

On IG, I shared a quick reel on how I made it and what I include, you can watch that here.

4: WHAT WE’VE BEEN UP TO:

Cheer season officially started a couple weeks ago, last weekend was jamboree and this weekend we have our first game! I can’t wait to watch my girls cheer another season. This is Savannah’s last year with Pop Warner, she tried out for High School cheer in the spring so I am soaking in the last year of them being together for a few years.

We’ve also been soaking in as much time on the boat as we can before windy season! The sunset last weekend was unreal.

5: WHAT I’M DREADING:

Nothing at the moment.

6: WHAT I’M WORKING ON:

New Arrivals for Shop Rooted and Free! I just ordered September’s new arrivals and they are starting to roll in. Next week are launching a new collection to us…tumblers and I am so excited for them to launch.

7: WHAT I’M EXCITED ABOUT:

A long weekend with my family! Hoping to squeeze in a date night with Joe, dinner with friends after cheer, a day on the boat and some rest in there too! Excited for 3 days of family time!

8: WHAT I’M WATCHING/READING:

Yesterday I shared all of my recent reads…lots of thrillers, some leadership development and Bible Studies!

Books I’ve Recently Read - Blog Post

One of the books I just started and I am loving - The Elevation Approach

9: WHAT I’M LISTENING TO:

Yesterday I finished rewatching Hart of Dixie and started Friday Night Lights so that is what I am listening to! I didn’t realize until today that George Tucker is Jason Street and my mind is blown, lol. I had to google it because I just listened to that voice for 4 seasons in Hart of Dixie and I was like uhhh, I know that voice!

10: WHAT I’M WEARING:

Lot’s of fun OOT'D’s! I have linked most of these on LTK or linked back to my boutique Shop Rooted and Free, just click the photo and it will give you all the details.

11: WHAT I’M DOING THIS WEEKEND:

Cheer.

Dinner with friends.

Boat Day.

Church.

Hopefully a date night.

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

Well, it’s the best time of year - football season! We are headed to the Bucs/Commanders game week one and I am so freaking excited to cheer on my Bucs and enjoy football season!

13: FAVORITE AMAZON FIND OF THE MONTH:

Ice rolling is my favorite! I shared the benefits in a recent blog post and this really affordable ice roller on Amazon does the job well!
