What's Up Wednesday (5/27/20)

Today is my 8-year anniversary with my husband!! 8 years ago today we were celebrating our love with our family and friends overlooking the Las Vegas strip.  I wish I could go back and re-live that day, one of the best day's of my life!  

We have 2 more days of school, and Friday can't come soon enough.  Here's a look at what we've been up to this month!

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

1.  What we're eating this week...
By 9am everyday, my kids are still asking for snacks.  We made this delicious s'mores desert last week and we're still eating it.  It was super easy, and the kids have been having so much fun helping me cook around the house these last 11 weeks.

2.  What I'm reminiscing about...

Our wedding day, 8 years ago today!  8 years married, two beautiful kids, spent the last 11 weeks with our family...what else could I ask for!?

3.  What I'm loving...
This month our community pool re-opened. We have probably taken the kids every day, it has been so nice to get some of their energy out and let them swim and play.  We are loving this time together as a family every day!

4.  What we've been up to...
Honestly, this month looks a lot like last month...staying home and spending time together as a family.  Quarantine feels...

We celebrated Cinco de Mayo, and my nephew's birthday, with margaritas and homemade crunch wraps from Broccyourbody's recipe...

Lots of walks in our neighborhood.  I'm so grateful for where we live...

We got to celebrate Mother's Day with my mom, which was so special to me...

Lots of lazy days...

We also finally made it out to the beach!  This was a highlight of this month for sure...

5.  What I'm dreading...

Right now I am not dreading anything.  I am more looking forward to the end of the school year this week and the official start of summer.  

6.  What I'm working on...
This month, I've been posting for a #photoadayinMay2020 and it has been super fun!  Head to my Instagram page @simplyshari to catch up.  

7.  What I'm excited about...

I love, love, love my new bracelets I gifted to myself for Mother's Day from reef rain aria!  She is a small women-owned business, which makes it even better.

8.  What I'm watching/reading...
I am officially hooked on All American and almost done with Season 2! 

I finished reading The 5 Love Languages, and recommend it to anyone looking to understand more about their own and their partner's love language.  

I started reading Everything Is Figureoutable, and I'm excited to dig more into the concepts introduced in this book.  

I also have been listening to Little Fires Everywhere on Audible, but I am moving through it slowly.  I usually listen to audio books during my commute to and from work and other places, but since I haven't been anywhere due to quarantine, it's taking me a while to get through.  

9.  What I'm listening to...
I am loving the new releases coming out from Lady Gaga, and excited for her new album to drop soon.  Still so disappointed that our trip to Vegas earlier this month to see her perform got canceled.  

10.  What I'm wearing...
More time at home, means more online quarantine purchases!  I seriously need to stop.  This dress is expected to arrive at my doorstep today, and I'm excited because it matches a dress my daughter got from her friend Mia. I will match her until she tells me I can't anymore.  

11.  What I'm doing this weekend...
This weekend we are planning to set up the inflatable pool and spend more time together as a family again.  

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

June is a fun month because we get to celebrate my husband twice!  He's having a big milestone birthday on the 4th and Father's Day later in the month.  Unfortunately many of our plans for June have been canceled, like our big family cruise, so I am trying to not think about the things we are missing out on, and just count our blessings.  

13.  What else is new...
That's it for now.  Wishing you all an amazing start to the summer and continue to stay happy, healthy and safe!

XO
