What’s Up Wednesday (January 2024)
What’s up Wednesday! Today I’m linking up with Shay& Sheaffer. You can find the questions in blue so check it out and join the fun.
Let’s go…..
What We’re Eating
I am back on my macro plan and doing alot more meal prepping. This egg & cottage cheese casserole has been on the rotation because it is full of protein. All my protein snacks have been stocked and I’m already feeling so much more energy due to the reduction in sugar. Every time I get back to nourishing my body well, I wonder why the heck I ever stopped!
What I’m Reminiscing About
This picture popped up this week and I can hardly believe this sweet girl will be graduating from high school in a blink! Oh how she loved her American Girl doll and now she’s sharing them with Haisley.
What I’m Loving
This new mascara is a new favorite and the price is so good.
What We’ve Been Up To
I shared a little January recap Monday with all the details but here are a few snaps!
We celebrated this kid turninig 22!! Where do the years go friends?
Lots of time with our Haisley girl.
And some time to reconnect!
What I’m Working On
Embracing my new Word of the Year for 2024! Spending time daily embracing the quiet, intentionally looking for ways to brain dump and quiet my mind. Practicing my listening skills!
What I’m Listening To
Spotify posted the 2023 Favorites list and I’m so excited to have this new playlist with all the favorites I’ve listened to all year long. I giggled when I saw Elvis on the list. When I have my mom in the car we have Elvis on repeat because she loves it so much and can still remember the words. There is also lots of music from the Encanto soundtrack because #honeylife. If you want to see what I’m listening to, you can find my 2023 playlist here. Caution…LOTS of Taylor Swift!
What I’m Watching/Reading
I shared a wrap up of my 2023 books and have had a slow reading start to 2024. Much of my morning reading time has been replaced with The Bible Recap and digging into my devotional. If you have ever wanted to read the bible in a year, I highlly recommend using the Bible Recap plan.
I’ve been watching the Neflix series Beckham and loving it. Typically I’m not a huge soccer fan but I have really enjoyed it. We also have a few months of Apple TV for free so while I’m on a soccer high, Keith & I started watching Ted Lasso.
What I’m Wearing
My mother in law gave me these darling Kate Spade pajamas for Christmas and I have been living in them! They are so soft but not too heavy and the pattern is so fun! They also come in shorts and a fun red/pink print.
Another day, another two piece set! Of course Riley told me I was giving off Nana vibes in this one. These sets do remind me just a tad of some of the outfits we wore in the 90s! It’s so comfy and soft though and very similar to the spanx set at a fraction of the cost. My shoes are also still heavy in the rotation!
ADORE this new sweater from Avara! So far there has been nothing I’ve received that I haven’t loved. This one also comes in grey and I think it would be so cute for the rodeo coming up. You can shop my Avara pics and save with the code Shelly15.
And this dress is another Avara find that is perfect for these spring like days in Texas this week! I love the color and the trendy chain pattern. I tossed on my boots and think I could make this one rodeo appropriate too! Again, Shelly15 gets you a discount!
What I’m Doing this Weekend
We have one last free weekend and I’m looking forward to getting the back porch cleaned up a little and doing some meal planning.
What I’m Looking Forward to Next Month
It’s Carly’s last contest season and we are so excited to watch her perform with her team! Their first competition is on the 10th so get ready for lots of dance in my feed!
Bonus Question: What Amazon Purchase Did I Love This Month
This little gadget is fun! It sticks to the magnet on my phone and allows me to take a picture pretty much anywhere I can use a suction cup! You don’t have to be an influencer…I think this would be great for taking quick pics with the family too!
That’s alot of what’s up with me…what’s up with you?
