What's Up Wednesday (9/26/18)

Hi everyone!! It's already the end of September, which means we're heading into some of my favorite holiday months.  Today's What's Up Wednesday, covers everything we've been up to during my absolute favorite month of the year, my birthday month.  Here's a little look at what we've been up to this month...

On the last Wednesday of the month I link-up with Shay to answer these questions:

1.  What we're eating this week...
The birthday celebrations are over, so I'm back to eating healthy and counting my points!

2.  What I'm reminiscing about...
We had another amazing cousin's weekend celebrating Labor Day this year.  We started out the weekend with a trip to Hollywood Studios to check out the new Toy Story Land...  

After that, we headed to Mike's cousin's house on the lake...

The next day we met my cousin and her sweet girls for breakfast...

And then we headed to Mike's cousin's for our family fun fantasy football draft...

Chunky Monkeys for the win!

3.  What I'm loving...
I have been loving these Drunk Elephant duos that I picked up during my last trip to Sephora.  The Rise + Glow duo and the NightBright duo were a great way for me to try out the drunk elephant products that I have been hearing so much about.  

Each duo comes with two drunk elephant products in them.  The products are perfect for normal skin, and I have already noticed a difference in my skin after only a few weeks of use! I will definitely re-purchase these products.  

The Rise + Glow duo set contains: 

- 0.27 oz/ 7.98 mL B-Hydra™ Intensive Hydration Serum 
- 0.27 oz/ 7.98 mL C-Firma™ Day Serum 

The NightBright duo set contains:

- 0.27 oz/ 8 mL T.L.C. Framboos
- 0.27 oz/ 8 mL Virgin Marula Luxury Facial Oil

4.  What we've been up to...
We moved Arianna to a Big Girl Bed!  She was ready, even if we weren't.  I love how it came out, and she does too.  Can you see her bed here, quilt here, and her sheets here.  Obsessed with Pottery Barn Kids for the kid's rooms...  

We have been teaching Vincent how to ride his bike...

Teaching yoga...

Cheering on Vincent at TBall...

We celebrated my birthday with family first, and then a #datenight for Mike and I!

We have been cheering on our Seminoles, even though their season is off to a rough start...

We celebrated baby Archer's 1st birthday with friends...

5.  What I'm dreading...

Fall allergies!  I'm already feeling them come on.  I will have an itchy, sneezy nose for the next few weeks.

6.  What I'm working on...
Getting used to my new iPhone XS!  Mike and I finally upgraded our phones after hanging onto the 6s for a while.  I love it already!

7.  What I'm excited about...

You guys have seen me talking about my girl crush on Rachel Hollis after seeing 

the documentary Made For More, and reading Girl Wash Your Face.  I also now stalk her on social media, and starting October 1st, I'm joining her #last90days challenge.  

It's such a great idea.  Instead of falling behind in your self care at the end of the year in picking it back up in the new year, why not start now?! WHY NOT!? So I am going to end 2018 with a bang, and I can't wait!  Anyone can join in, all that you have to do is sign up!

8.  What I'm watching/reading...

Still working my way through my The One Year Bible and finding moments for gratitude in each day...

I just finished reading Sometimes I Lie, another "thriller" with an ending that I wasn't expecting.  

I need to read more "happy" books, so I'm going to start on When Life Gives You Lululemons next...

My favorite show is back, This Is Us!...

Who's going to win Big Brother tonight?!...

9.  What I'm listening to...
Disney music and The Greatest Showman soundtrack! #momlife

10.  What I'm wearing...
Not what I'm wearing, but what my kids are wearing! I love them in their Halloween pjs...

11.  What I'm doing this weekend...
Baby shower, hopefully Disney, Book Club and visiting with friends...another busy fall weekend!

12.  What I'm looking forward to next month...
Can you say yoga retreat, in the mountains of Georgia, in fall weather with my sister-in-law?! so excited!!

Also, if you missed my post last week about "how we" do FALL, you can catch it here! I absolutely love this time of year, and am so excited for all of the fun things ahead.  

13.  What else is new...
These pictures deserved their own spot on my blog.  This month I took Vincent to his first Florida State Seminoles football game in Tallahassee! We had the best time!  We woke up early and hit the road to Tallahassee. Once we got there, I took Vincent to Westcott, to see the traditional fountain.  I hope that he will choose to go to this school one day...

We shopped, and then tailgated...

We got to meet Renegade and take our picture with Chief Osceola...

 

After a long rain delay, we made it to our seats.  This day was so special for so many reasons, but most of all that I got to share this special 1:1 time with my son and visit with my old friend and her boys!

 

14.  Bonus Question - What is your favorite way to eat/drink pumpkin...
As much as I love fall, I'm not a huge pumpkin everything fan.  I love a good pumpkin pie at Thanksgiving, and I just got some Dunkin Donuts pumpkin flavored coffee for my Keurig.  So, I guess my answer to that is pie/coffee :) However, I'm not a fan of the pumpkin spice lattes! lol
