What’s Up Wednesday {June}
Today I’m linking up with Shay, Mel & Sheaffer for this months What’s Up Wednesday! The questions are in green so check it out and join the fun.
WHAT WE’RE EATING THIS WEEK…..
Roadtrip + baseball games all week leaves us eating hotel breakfast, snacky food all day and maybe a dinner someplace interesting in the Springfield area. We heard that Lambert’s is a must!
WHAT I’M REMINISCING ABOUT…..
Oh Timehop how I love you so! Look at this precious picture of my guys after an all star win 5 years ago. Where the heck did this precious little boy go so quickly?!! Now he’s taller than his dad and it’s no longer so acceptable to hug at the end of a game. In a blink I will be sending this one off to college too and I’m just not quite ready.
WHAT I’M LOVING…..
All the red, white & blue touches I added to my house this week!
WHAT WE’VE BEEN UP TO…..
Celebrating Summer some extraordinary fun like national fudge day and national ice cream soda day!
Crossing off items on our Summer Bucket List like throwing a puppy birthday party for our favorite Dutch Buddy!
WHAT I’M DREADING…..
For those of you baseball families, if you haven’t experienced your first tournament in which your team is required to stay at a host hotel let me just warn you to make sure you are on the hotel bandwagon early. This place we are in leaves a lot to be desired and I’m dreading trying to sleep in a standard double bed with my man all week!
WHAT I’M WORKING ON…..
Identifying a few things we might be able to fit in besides baseball while we are here. Will it be caves, ziplining, the lake? Tune in next week and find out what we fit in!
WHAT I’M EXCITED ABOUT…..
My oldest has been working on a guest post and I’m super excited about sharing it with you!! I’m hoping I will have it ready to go live tomorrow.
WHAT I’M WATCHING/READING
Am I the only one who has never seen the movie Killers with Katherine Hiegl and Ashton Kutcher? It was on TV this week and I seriously could not go to bed until it was over. Loved it! Maybe I was just super stressed and tired but I thought it was a great watch.
I finished Me Before You Me Before You
earlier in June and bawled my eyes out. I still haven’t made it to see the movie but I can’t wait. Starting After You
was a no brainer and I’m more than half way done. I can’t wait to see how it ends! If you love a great love story and don’t mind ugly crying I highly recommend these!

This song by Hillary Scott just captured me! How many times do we just hurt so bad and want to take things into our own hands before remembering we cannot play God?
WHAT I’M WEARING…..
All the swing dresses I can get my hands on! Between the heat and the fact I ate my way through spring the fit of these dresses has been perfect! I also figured out stripes with stripes can actually work! I’m loving all of these new Stella & Dot pieces too!
Work is tricky this time of year too so lots of crops with light weight tanks and blazers (mine is on sale at J. Crew Factory) have been finding their way to one another.
National pink day gave me the chance to pair these two for the first time and why? Isn’t this combo darling? Pleione tops are some of my very favorites. They are light weight, good quality and fit and come in a variety of patterns, colors and styles.
This week I will look more like this while I’m on vacation! I love a great hat to stretch out that hair just one more day!
WHAT I’M DOING THIS WEEKEND…..
Looks like we will for sure be in Springfield through Saturday and depending on how well the boys do we could also be playing Sunday before heading home.
WHAT I’M LOOKING FORWARD TO NEXT MONTH…..
A free calendar with no set plans and no sporting events! I love watching my kids do what they love but this mom needs a break!
Come back next month and linkup with Katy & I as we spiel the beans with you!
July 12th – A Summer Look
July 26th – A Favorite Summer Indulgence

Let’s Get Social
So much fun stuff
I am halfway through Me Before You and I can't put it down! I am already looking forward to reading the next book. Hope you guys have fun in Springfield!
Have a fabulous baseball vacation! My sister has talked about Host Hotels and said the same thing! LOL……..its hotter then HELL here in central valley of California and my backyard is SEMI – DONE so I am anxiously looking forward to that being done!
Cutest straw hat Evah!!! Oh good luck to the bball boys!!
Have fun on your trip!
I live in the Springfield area. Lambert's is a fun place to eat! There are gift shops behind the restaurant in a shopping center (within walking distance) you and your girlie would probably enjoy while you wait for seating. There usually is a wait during the summer months. Hope you enjoy your stay in our area, minus the host hotel, and good luck to your ball player and his team!
Dana we totally have Lambert's on our list!! They have 1st Friday downtown so we are hoping to check that out too!
Oh my goodness…I just finished After You! Loved both books!!
That is the sweetest Timehop picture. Sometimes I feel so bittersweet looking back at pics when the kids were little, because I miss all the spontaneous hugs and sweet times. But this phase has its own rewards, I just have to appreciate them in a different way! Oh, I cringed when I read "double bed." We had to share one for one night on our trip. We are so spoiled by our king size bed and multiple pillows! And love that song…hadn't heard it before. I sometimes get a mantra going in my head, "Not my will but yours." Hope you have a great week away and then lots of down time!
Do yourself a favor and skip the eye makeup when you see Me Before You. So good but girlfriend, you are going to cry.
I am looking forward to your oldest's guest post! Fun, fun! What's up with this Missouri heat and humidity, right? I was hoping for a break!
It has actually been decent here in Springfield and I was actually chilly at the game yesterday afternoon after a quick rain shower. We only have one game at 10 today and are going to head over to Silver Dollar City after. Hopefully we will still have enough time for a little fun!
I can only imagine Stephanie because I bawled just reading the book!!
That is so true Tanya….I love that…appreciate the moments in a different way. I'm going to remember that. I don't know if it's true for your kids but mine get along so much better when we are traveling. I love seeing them hang out and be silly together.
I seriously think every team should have someone assigned as travel coordinator. That's basically what happened…nicer hotels but were all full by the time we got moving for reservations. It's definitely quite a dive but so far we have made it work. Thankfully we don't need to be here much!
OH can't wait for your oldest's post! And lots going on. And yes to all of the swing dresses, give them all to me!
Oh Girl!! The Ugly Cry will come out when you see the movie!! Me Before You is one of my all time fave books and the movie did it justice I thought!! Have added After You to my reading list!!
Come join this GIVEAWAY I am hosting at the blog for yoga/activewear brand AIRABELLA ACTIVE till July 3 – Have a great weekend!

I need to add a swing dress to my wardrobe ASAP!!
Also, can't wait to read your oldest's post!
Happy almost 4th!
Shaunacey I cannot believe you do not have a swing dress yet!! Maybe it's just because everything else is tight right now but I'm loving them for summer.
Darn Rebecca….I've been on vacation and just saw this! Thanks for giving me the heads up. Hope you have a super 4th.
Katie I finished After You on vacation and it didn't make me cry but I really did enjoy it!
I've gotta get ahold of my free for all summer eating Sarah….the swing dress is all that's fitting right now! I cannot wait to share Jordan's post!!!
