What's Up Wednesday

Happy Wednesday! I'm so thankful we are close to wrapping up this month! It started off great, but got really busy, and kind of went down hill. I'm ready for March and warmer weather, and gasp- spring football. 

Today I'm linking up and sharing a little What's Up Wednesday. 

1. What We're Eating This Week:

I'm not the meal planning type, but this week, I actually wrote down what we'd have for dinner!

Monday- Sheet Pan Chicken w/ Potatoes, Bell Pepper, Carrots

Tuesday- Ravioli

Wednesday- Panko Chicken w/ Mac & Cheese, & Broccoli

Thursday- Tacos 

Friday- Pizza or a quick Costco meal 

2. What I'm Reminiscing About:

Our family camping trip we took at the begining of the month. We've tried booking another trip for Spring Break, but can't get in anywhere that we wanted to go, but I've also had more days off than I had anticipated this month, and I think we'll have a mini staycation or take a day trip. Anyway, our camping trip was a blast. I loved being able to unplug, hike, and be together as a family. We went to west Texas and expored Davis Mountain State Park, the UT Conservatory, and drove in to Big Bend National Park for some hiking. 

You can read part 1, part 2, and part 3 if you missed those. 

3. What I'm Loving:

I made a commitment to myself to workout every day for at least 30 minutes. On Sunday, I hit day 50. There were days where I was sick, or tired, or traveling, but I pushed through and got it done. 

I use the aaptiv app for workout videos, but also to keep me accountable. You can use my referral for a free 7 day trial. 

I've also been loving the Bible Recap. I have heard about this for years and never thought it was something I could actually do. I've tried reading the Bible through on my own and it was sometimes boring and hard to get through. The Bible Recap makes it so much easier! You can search for it on your Bible app, but also be sure to listen to the podcast as well. I listen while I'm driving to work or getting ready for my day, and the podcast makes it so much easier to understand what I've read that day. 

4. What We've Been Up To:

Megan and Gretchen both attended DNOW with our church this past weekend. This was Megan's first big church activity and she had lots of fun! Gretchen loves youth group, and I'm hoping that since her play practice is over, that they'll both be able to go consistently again. 

While the big girls were at DNOW, DJ and Adalyn went to the Texas basketball game on Saturday and Adalyn scored herself a free shirt! 

Then they went to the Austin RV Expo to look at campers. We've thought about upgrading several times and we have a few campers that we love, but while ours is small- it was the right price, we can pull it easily, and we're not actually in it that often while we're camping. And as fun as it would be to have a big, bright, shiny, new camper- we always find a reason to talk ourselves out of it 

While DJ and the girls had a weekend full of activities, I went home for my uncle's funeral. I didn't like why I had to go home, but I'm thankful I had the chance to. I wen thome last Wednesday, and had a family dinner with my parents and brother's family. My mom and I went shopping on Thursday, and I spent Friday and Saturday with my extended family. I was reminded about the strong women in my life and the influence they've had over my life. I'm so thankful for them. 

5. What I'm Dreading:

Both Megan and Adalyn have decided to try out for their school's spirit teams. Megan is trying out for 7th grade cheer and Gretchen is trying out for her high school dance team. I'm so excited for both of them, but clinic and tryouts are on the exact same days, and they'll both find out next Friday. 

I have full confidence in them both, but gosh, I'm nervous, and the fact that they both find out on the same day is low key freaking me out. I'm not sure what I'll do if one makes it and one doesn't. I've already talked to them about being excited for the other one, but that it's also okay to be sad. Wish us luck! 

6. What I'm Excited About:

Spring Football is right around the corner, and while I never look forward to the longer hours, being able to take the girls to practice every once in a while and to the Spring game is always fun! 

7. What I'm Watching/Reading:

I read Layla on our camping trip. It may be my favorite Colleen Hoover book so far. 

I've spent my nights watching Friends re-runs or Golden Girls. I'm about to start watching YOU, but I need to make sure I'm not too tired because I know i'll want to binge a few episodes. 

8. What I'm Listening To:

I've been listening to the End Zone Wives podcast recently. I was interviewed a few weeks ago, and I've spent a lot of time in the car, so I've listened to a few of their interviews. 

9. What I'm Wearing:

As always, I'm wearing my favorite leggings on repeat. 

I found this thermal top at Old Navy on clearance and knew it would be perfect for work or cozy days at home. 

I needed a new dress to wear to my uncle's funeral and found this tiered linen dress that has the most beautiful lace detail around the hem. It also comes in pink and would be great for Easter! 

And grabbed this luxe top as well; it's perfect with leggings! 

10. What I'm Doing This Weekend:

Resting. I feel like we've been on the go every weekend in February, and I'm looking forward to just relaxing and keeping it low key. 

11. What I'm Looking Forward To Next Month:

Spring Break, Spring Football, and warmer weater please. 

12. What Amazon Purchase I Loved This Month:

Gretchen's 15th birthday bash was this month and I found the best 90s themed party favors for her. I ordered slap bracelets, butterfly clips, and tamagotchi dupes. 

Thanks for stopping by! If you're new here, I'd love to see you over on Instagram!
