What's Up Wednesday

Today I'm linking up with "What's Up Wednesday!", with Mix + Match Family, Pinterest Told Me To, & The Larson Lingo. :)

What we're eating this week...

Anything Aldi's! We love the money we save while still enjoying great eats. I made this Italian meatloaf recipe for dinner last night and it was delicious.

What I'm reminiscing about...  

High school! My 20th reunion was this weekend. How time flies! It was great to reconnect with these lovely ladies and other friends from the class of '95!

What I'm loving...


I'm loving Jergens BB Perfecting Body Cream.  I used a ton this lotion this summer and felt like I really saw a difference in the look of my skin. And, it's really reasonable. So, there you go, I'm loving this cream! :)

What we've been up to...

After our super simple summer, all of the kiddos' fall activities are back in full swing--soccer, violin lessons, scouts, kids club at church!  While I miss our laid-back summer, it's fun to get back into our fall groove!

We've also attended fun, creative birthday parties for our friends!  My friend Rebecca hosted this sweet bicycle parade birthday party for her 5-year old daughter at a local park.  How fun is that?

I've also been recharging my spiritual batteries at an uplifting Christian women's conference with these amazing women!  So blessed to call these ladies family!  #shine

What I'm dreading...

The housework that's next on my to-do list! But, I know it'll feel great once it's done. Baby steps all the way!

What I'm working on...

Figuring out my new normal now that my baby is off to kindergarten...

And, prepping for a Cub scout meeting tonight!

What I'm excited about...

Fall break is just around the corner and we're headed to Surfside Beach, SC again this year! Whoop!

I'm also excited that my husband and I just started Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace University. I love learning new things about how we can be better stewards of what the Lord has given us. And, Dave is a pretty entertaining guy!

What I'm watching/reading...

I recently saw The War Room with a group of ladies.  In a word--GO!  See it.  It's a powerful and inspiring movie.

I also just started reading The Red Sea Rules as a part of a women's Bible study taught by one of my favorite ladies. 

What I'm listening to...

As a singer I've been trying to vocalize more often... I'm loving Dr. Dan's vocal workout!

What I'm wearing...

Yay for fall! 

What I'm doing this weekend...

Hopefully, we'll take our annual apple picking trip!

What I'm looking forward to next month...

Fall break and Trunk-or-treat at the kiddos' school!  I think we've come up for a fun theme this year!  Pics to come! 

What else is new...

This blog! Thank you for stopping by! Y'all come back now, ya hear! ;)

What is your favorite Halloween tradition?

The costumes, trick-or-treating with friends and family, and the opportunity to get to know our neighbors better!  Here's a look at our Halloween Past.
