It's the end of April ya'll! We made it through another month of quarantine! lol
This little family of mine has kept me sane and also driven me insane! I try to remind myself every day the things that I am grateful for, and having these three and our animals to spend our days with, is definitely one of them!
I missed last month's What's Up Wednesday, but I'm back today and excited to re-join this monthly link-up. Here's a look at what we've been up to this month!
1. What we're eating this week...
Snacks!! Anyone else's kids already ready for their first snack at 9:30am? Mike made the most amazing eggplant for dinner on Sunday, so we've had that for leftovers. Last night we had burgers and fries. I definitely feel like I'm over making all of the meals and snacks through quarantine. It will be nice to go out to a restaurant sometime soon.
2. What I'm reminiscing about...
Getting out of the house, and all of the things! Life BC (before coronavirus). It's hard to believe that just before all of this came to be, we casually walked around Disney and took it for granted. I am missing Disney and I am missing daily life.
3. What I'm loving...
All of the random acts of kindness that have spurred from the pandemic. Neighbors are more kind, strangers are kind, and I have a general sense that people are looking out for each other more. We have loved surprising our friends and families with little things over the last few weeks.
One of our favorite deliveries we received were from my brother's family for Easter. These cookies from a local small-business bakery in Austin were amazing!

4. What we've been up to...
Staying at home! Just like the rest of the country, we've spent the last 7 weeks quarantined as a family. I share a little look at Life Lately on the blog earlier this month. Here's the link in case you missed it.
We have been ending our nights with dance parties...
This slide from Amazon has been a life saver and hours of entertainment for the kids on the weekends...

5. What I'm dreading...
I'm both dreading and looking forward to the last 4-weeks of homeschooling this year. Florida officially said that students would not be going back to school, which was disappointing, but we knew it was coming. Luckily, some days I feel like we've gotten into a little routine with the kids. School is out for the summer, May 29th!
8. What I'm watching/reading...
Mike and I have been watching American Idol and someone recommended All American to me as a good binge watching show on Netflix, and I love it so far!

I finished reading a great book, The Death of Mrs. Westaway, by one of my favorite authors, Ruth Ware. This book was gifted to me by one of my best friends. She knew I would like it, and she was right!
I also started reading The 5 Love Languages, and am looking forward to talking with Mike after I finish reading it about what I think his love language is, and curious to see if he knows mine.
9. What I'm listening to...
Conference calls! I am grateful that the work I do is considered essential and that I continue to be employed, when I know so many who have been directly impacted by the pandemic.

10. What I'm wearing...
All of the loungewear! I am so excited about some of my Nordstrom orders that are coming in. Check out what I've ordered recently.
How cute is this spiritual gangster t-shirt?
I am so excited for these 1901 t-shirts to arrive, I have heard good things about them!
Here's the link for the Seaside, and the link for the Palm Trees, Ocean Breeze! Things I have been dreaming about and purchasing in quarantine!
11. What I'm doing this weekend...
More of the same thing we've been doing for the last two months. Friday we will hit 50 days of quarantine, and I have a fun little celebration planned, spurred by a conversation with Vincent last week. I asked him if he knew
12. What I'm looking forward to next month...
