On the last Wednesday of the month I link-up with Shay to answer these questions:
1. What we're eating this week...
Getting back on track and making smart choices after indulging at some amazing restaurants during our trip to Las Vegas! Just look at all of this amazing food!! We went to Hussongs Cantina (this is where we held our rehearsal dinner for our wedding), Beauty and Essex, Lavo, and Cinnaholic! I would highly recommend all of these places to anyone visiting there.
2. What I'm reminiscing about...
Our trip!! It was a short one, Friday-Monday, and we almost canceled it because of the flu, but it was so great catching up with my cousins and getting away to one of our favorite cities with the hubby.

The best part of the trip was coming home to these sweet faces waiting for us at the airport!
3. What I'm loving...
For Christmas, Mike got us an oil diffuser from a Young Living distributor, and we are loving it! We have been burning lots of combinations of the oils that we got in our starter kit, trying to find the ones that we like the most. What are your favorite oil combinations to diffuse??

We took Vincent to see Marvels Universe Live. He's totally into all superheroes right now...
We took a trip to Palm City to visit Mike's cousins...
Can't wait to watch these three grow up together!
This beautiful mom doesn't look old enough to have 18-year-old twins!
I've been training for my run. Longest run so far was 7 miles, this week I'm planning on 8...
5. What I'm dreading...
The flu!! So far we have been flu-free in the Florio house, but we know so many who have it, including Mike's 102-year-old Grandma. We almost canceled our trip to Las Vegas over fear of the flu, we are totally dreading it, and ready for flu season to be over!!
6. What I'm working on...
I case you missed it, I posted my 2018 goals, so I'm working on being more patient this year!
7. What I'm excited about...
I don't know how it's possible, but this little girl is turning TWO on the 9th! I am excited to celebrate with her by taking her to Disney and having cake at the house with the family when we get back.
8. What I'm watching/reading...
The trailer for "This is Us" after the Super Bowl...I can't...I'm so obsessed with the writing for this show and feel like I will have a love hate relationship with the episode come up this weekend...I don't want to cry, but I can't not watch!
You know that every Monday night, I'm tuned into "The Bachelor"
"Big Brother Celebrity" starts February 7th, I'm excited to see how this show turns out!
Currently reading "Delicious" with my girls. This book is growing on me, but it's definitely been a slow read.
During our trip I started reading "You Are a Badass" and I am loving it!! Such a great book to put things into perspective and start out the new year.
9. What I'm listening to...
We just got tickets to Justin Timberlake's Man of the Woods tour in May, so I am excited for his album release on the 2nd. I like the new singles, although I prefer his old songs better, I think they will grow on me.
11. What I'm doing this weekend...
Celebrating Sarah's Birthday, doing a long distance training run, and watching the Super Bowl! I could care less about who wins the game, rooting against the Patriots, but I'm excited to see Pink and JT!
12. What I'm looking forward to next month...
Celebrating our little girl turning 2 and my Dad turning 70! Also, next month is the big Gasparilla Ultra Lime Challenge - I've been training for 3 months, and will be so proud of myself when I finish.

13. What else is new...
We attended "Kindergarten Roundup" with Vincent this month to find out the registration requirements for this summer and get a tour of his new Elementary School. He is so excited to move up, mommy is so emotional about it!! I can't believe he's almost 5, and will be starting Kindergarten in a few months!
14. Bonus Question - What is the your favorite soup recipe...
When it comes to cooking and following recipes, simple is the name of my game. I love this minestrone soup recipe. You can add as many beans/veggies as you like, and it tastes amazing! I recently found this reduced sodium vegetable broth base, that I love to use! You can probably find it cheaper at your local grocery store. Since Mike is a vegetarian, we can't use chicken broth anymore. I love the way that this tastes and is perfect to use to create a base for soups and other recipes.

Future Wizard!
We also had our first trip to the ER this month!! If you would have asked me, I would have sworn to you that Arianna would be the cause of our first trip to the ER, but it was Vincent. At his cousins' birthday party, he fell off of a bar stool and landed on his chin. Thank goodness he didn't need stitches, and we honestly probably could have just gone to a clinic, but I wanted to take all precautions and make sure that we got him checked out because of the size of the cut and the amount of blood. Praying that is our FIRST and LAST trip to the ER! My little man was so, so brave - he held back the tears while momma let them flow.
