What's Up Wednesday (10/31/18)


Happy Halloween!  One of my favorite holiday's OF THE YEAR!  I can't wait to do all of the fun things with the kids today from their school parades, parties and trick-or-treating tonight.  I hope everyone has a fabulous holiday!  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...
Not this week, but last week at my yoga retreat, we had the most amazing food options!  For breakfast, lunch and dinner, each day we had fresh meals to choose from.  Here's a look at a full day of meals.  





Also, did you see my post a few weeks back about meal prepping?  Since that post, we bought meal prep containers and have been doing our best to meal prep for the week on Sunday nights.  

2.  What I'm reminiscing about...
The most amazing weekend away in the mountains during the Soulful Season yoga retreat...  







I spent 4 days/3nights in Dahlonega, GA with my sister-in-law doing yoga 2x a day, eating, sleeping and bonding.  If anyone has ever considered doing something like this, DO IT! It's the best self-care you could ever do for yourself.  We met amazing humans and enjoyed the beautiful fall season.  We visited wineries and went on an almost 4-mile hike in the mountains.  I am still buzzing from our trip, and hope to one day be able to hold space for people on yoga retreats like this. 



3.  What I'm loving...
I recently had a henna eyebrow treatment and last-lift and tint.  You guys, the before and after pictures are amazing!  It's not too noticeable, but I feel like I can leave the house with a little tinted moisturizer and be ready for the day.  The pictures below are with no makeup. 

4.  What we've been up to...
All things fall!  We definitely soak it up this time of year. We went to our first fall festival...


We started swim lessons for Vincent and Arianna this month...


Painting pumpkins with your bestie is certainly a fun fall activity...


A day off from work, but the kids in school, meant Food and Wine festival time for us!  It was so much fun and the best day!  You can see Mariseli's post about it on her blog here...



Skate night for Vincent's Elementary School was so much fun...



More T-Ball games...

We went to see Smallfoot as a family, it was a cute movie...

Morning dance parties before school...

Meeting Cinderella at our local cupcake shop...

Spending time with friends...

5.  What I'm dreading...
The next time I have to fly through DFW, which is hopefully never again! I had a horrible experience trying to travel for work a few weeks ago and got stuck in Dallas for HOURS when their airport shut down due to weather.  Here's a picture of the customer service line I stood in to get a new flight home and make sure my bag followed me, which they assured me it would, and then I finally got 4 days later...

6.  What I'm working on...
In November I have two yoga workshops that I'm working on.  

I've also been working on my #fivetothrive and completing the last 90 day challenge.  

7.  What I'm excited about...
Next weekend Vincent and I are heading to Austin to visit my niece and nephew, and also my brother and his wifey too! We will have so much fun and can't wait to see them all!

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 am almost through with When Life Gives You Lululemons and I can't wait to see how it ends...

I read When Things Fall Apart this month, and there were so many quotes that spoke directly to me...

My favorite show is back, This Is Us!  I have been enjoying this season, even if it is a little slower-paced...



9.  What I'm listening to...
Love the new album from Khalid, although I'm wishing it was more than 7 songs. Also, is it too early for Christmas music?!

10.  What I'm wearing...
I got this BP cardigan during the Nordstrom anniversary sale, and I'm obsessed with it!  It's currently only available in plus-size, but I would highly recommend it. 


11.  What I'm doing this weekend...
Yoga, t-ball, oil change, swim lessons and family pictures are on the agenda for this weekend :) 

12.  What I'm looking forward to next month...
Next month I get to see my brother, complete my yoga mentorship and celebrate Thanksgiving with family! I have so much to be grateful for. 

13.  What else is new...
Vincent has been working on his t-ball skills since he started a few months ago.  This picture has three of my favorite men in i! I love watching Mike, Vincent and my Dad spend quality moments like this together...

14.  Bonus Question - What is your all time favorite Halloween costume...
Vincent as Michael Jackson! I mean, just look at him!  My mother-in-law made this costume for him, and it was just amazing!


Happy Halloween everyone!
