What’s Up Wednesday {March 2016}
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
Well….I have been slacking with meal planning lately and we have seriously been eating leftovers for days. I love that Keith doesn’t mind me being a little creative. We had pork loin leftover so we mixed with a little BBQ sauce and made some yummy nachos.
Seriously if you can make a nacho or a taco out of something we are going to do it!
Now all our leftovers are gone so it’s time for me to decide on dinner for the rest of the week. Skinny Suppers
arrived last week and I can’t wait to try a few things. Thinking I also need a spiralizer to start playing around with some zoodles.

WHAT I’M REMINISCING ABOUT
Timehop has been killing it all week with all these bluebonnet pictures from years back. This is definitely somewhat of a tradition in Texas and we have not missed too many years.
WHAT I’M LOVING
Longer days and perfect spring weather. Of course I believe I have probably just jinxed this as we have lots of rain in the forecast the next few days!
WHAT WE’VE BEEN UP TO
We have been having lots fun this month!
We had four days of fun in Orlando which included Disney World. If you are planning a trip be sure to check out my Disney Dos & Don’ts .
Carly Jo and I ended Spring Break road tripping to Fort Worth with our besties! If a trip is in your future be sure to head over and check out this post on Fort Worth Fun for 10 ways you can experience this fun town.
WHAT I’M DREADING
Filing my taxes….boo
And filling up with gas….I know I will have to do it today and I just hate it. I can’t explain why but I will drive to the very last little drop before finally stopping.
WHAT I’M WORKING ON
Mastering using Wunderlist. As mentioned on Friday I decided this would be worth a try to help me get back on track with time management. So far I’m thrilled with what I’m finding and there are so many cool options like being able to use hashtags and adding a tool to directly save from your internet browser back to a specific list. It is going to take some time to learn everything it can do but it is proving to be handy.
WHAT I’M EXCITED ABOUT
We should find out shortly where Riley will be assigned to start the minor league season and I’m really anxious excited to find out where that might be. Yesterday a short interview was posted and it always cracks me up because he seriously was my shyest child and I just can’t believe he seems so at ease when he’s being asked questions! You can watch here.
WHAT I’M WATCHING/READING
I just finished reading Still Alice
and y’all it is a tear jerker but such a great read. Very well written and I am eager to watch the movie.

While I was in Florida I finished The Choice
WHAT I’M LISTENING TO
I have been loving this song!
WHAT I’M WEARING
Spring shoes…yea! The toes are ready so I’ve been wearing some of my open toe shoes this month. I’m loving all the options I picked up on sale at Target earlier this month. Still haven’t decided for sure whether I’m keepign these DV wedges but I’m 99% sure the answer is yes. I’m still really thinking I need to pull the trigger on these this year.
Halogen studded flats in lots of colors here||Merona Gladiator Sandals ||DV Wedge also in Camel||Similar Huarachi Sandals at Target almost identical to the Steve Maddens I purchased on clearance||Lace up Wedges
I’m also loving this new Halogen skirt which I received as part of a trunk club order. Thanks to Cassie for highlighting this perfect top because it helped me pull together this outfit for Easter.
I splurged on this NYDJ top and I’m so glad I did. It is so flattering and I can see myself wearing it tons all year long. It comes in so many fun colors and has the sweetest pleet in the back.
WHAT I’M DOING THIS WEEKEND
We only have 3 weekends between now and June that do not include a baseball tourney. Dillon has grown so much taller and gained lots of weight (muscle) in the past year and I am excited to see him play.
WHAT I’M LOOKING FORWARD TO NEXT MONTH
I have been saving to have the master shower and the tile around the kids bath redone for some time and April is going to be the month! While I’m not looking forward to the mess and hassle of having a renovation I am super excited to see the finished product!
WHAT ELSE IS NEW
I’m pretty sure as a chronic over-sharer there is nothing I have failed to share!
Wishing you all a fabulous Wednesday!
Sounds like you've been busy! 🙂
Love the shoes you've been wearing, and that printed pencil skirt is just beautiful, what a great purchase! 🙂
Away From The Blue
Cute top! Works well with those cropped pants!
Thanks Alexix! These Ann Taylor pants have seriously been on major repeat and I even snagged a 2nd pair when they were on sale for $25. I bet I wear them 3 of 5 working days. 🙂 Have a super day!
I have not been on a shoe role for years but this past year I've definitely been working on replenishing my stock! Have a great day Mica!
I just love those pictures of the kids and all those pretty flowers! So pretty! I too need to be better about time management! I'll have to check out Wunderlust! Well I'm co-hosting the Jersey Girl Texan Heart link-up today and just wanted to say hi/thanks for linking up!

Those nachos look so good! I am also ready for spring shoes and showing off my toes! I love the outfits you are wearing; that skirt is so pretty!
I hate getting gas. I drive around cringe when I look at my screen and it say 0 miles to empty 😂
Loved watching that interview too!
I enjoy your thorough Wednesday posts so much Shellie. I must say I love and want all those three pairs of shoes from Target and a pair of those studded Halogen Flats. Though I have bought plenty of new shoes lately, some of which at Target. I was there the other day buying some shoes and I thought of you (read tomorrow's post, for more).
I am in love with your NYDJ top as those kinds of tops are so versatile and classy, the shoes from the second outfit and that new pencil skirt. Two fantastic outfits. Also, I feel you on filling up the gas tank. That gif was meant for me. I have been known to run out of gas a few times lol.
Welcome by and linkup with me for "Thursday Moda" tomorrow. Come link up your latest looks – I would love to have you. Thanks, Ada. =)
Love reading the little details in WUW. I'm putting Still Alice on my to-read list. Look forward to hearing about your bathroom renovations. Our master bath is completely functional but definitely has a "1999" vibe with brass accents. Someday we'll get around to that project.
Tanya you must read….I was worried I couldn't handle it but it was so well written. Very heartbreaking but such a sweet story of love. Our tile has gotten so bad I am having to spray Tilex every few days. It's time….but it's so expensive to do a stand up shower. I've been saving forever so I'm super excited to get it over with!
Why do we hate it so much?!! So silly….but I dread it every time.
🙂 I love hearing him do interviews.
Thanks so much Mary! It's been fun pulling out my spring clothes
Thanks for co-hosting Nina! I loved your striped dress! So far I'm loving some of the features Wunderlist has to offer. Have a super week!
Target shoes have totally been on point lately! And seriously…this NYDJ top has been so worth the splurge. I've been amazed at how well it has washed and dried with no wrinkles too. I will see you tomorrow! Adding you right now to my linky page
Ooh I love all your spring shoes, and that skirt you got is gorgeous! I also love the color of your new top–I can't get enough of that turquoise color right now! I've been wanting to read Still Alice–that's another one I'm adding to my (too long) to-read list!
I love the outfit with the blue top and zebra print shoes! Too cute! Such a pretty color blue too!
Thank you Amy! It was like these shoes had been waiting for that top forever. Haha
Hope you have a super weekend!
My reading list is sooooo long too Shea! I have figured out I suck and setting aside time to really disconnect and dig in to reading. Traveling on a plane was a perfect opportunity to unplug. Hope you have a super weekend!
Great looks. Love that pencil skirt on you!
Thanks so much for sharing with Fun Fashion Friday!

Gorgeous outfits, love the bright white top and the print on the pencil skirt, your shoes in look 2 are a perfect match with the pretty turqouise on you. Disneyworld has held some great memories for me, sounds like fun. I keep looking at food people post and it looks so good!
Thank you for linking up to Turning Heads Tuesday
