What's Up Wednesday (8/26/20)

Fall is right around the corner! I can almost feel it through the hot and humid Florida temperatures that we've been experiencing.  It is the last Wednesday of the month, and here's your What's Up Wednesday for August.  

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...

Birthday cookie cake!  This weekend Vincent is turning 7 and he's requested a basketball cookie cake, so that is exactly what he's going to get.

2.  What I'm reminiscing about...
Take me back to the beach!  We ended July and started August at the beach with our family!  It was our first get away in what felt like forever, and it was so nice seeing the kids have fun with their cousins, I am ready to go back, like now!










3.  What I'm loving...
To celebrate Vincent and Mia turning 7, we tried a new mini donut shop near our house, Van Dough Mini Donuts were amazing, and we will definitely be back!


Vincent and Mia have been friends since birth.  I love, love, love watching these kids grow up together!

4.  What we've been up to...
Saying goodbye to the dog days of summer...

Twas the night before VPK, and Arianna was ready for her big day...

I can't believe my baby is in VPK, she had a great first day of school...




Vincent enjoyed a few more weeks at golf camp...

On her 4th day of VPK she left looking so cute...

And then got I got a call that she had fallen and we were on our way to ER for some stitches in her chin...

We spent time with family in the Villages...

Virtual Open House for our 2nd grader...

Vincent also participated in a free soccer clinic near our house...

We celebrated our two favorite 7-year-olds together with some quality framily time together...


Vincent started the first day of school this week on Monday...virtually first, and then back to the classroom next week...





5.  What I'm dreading...
Right now I am not dreading anything, and that's a good thing!

6.  What I'm working on...
I have been working on my patience and really trying to be the best Mom through all of the changes that 2020 has brought.  It hasn't been easy, but it is definitely worth it.  

7.  What I'm excited about...
This weekend we are surprising Vincent with a trip to Orlando and an overnight stay at a hotel with a lazy river.  We can't have a party for him this year, due to COVID, but we will celebrate him just as much!

8.  What I'm watching/reading...
I must have missed the first two weeks, but I realized that Big Brother was back on, and I am here for it!  This season is an all star season, and it has been a great show to just veg out on at night after a stressful day.  

9.  What I'm listening to...
I am almost done listening Open Book by Jessica Simpson, on Audible.  I am loving her narration of her story and would highly recommend this book!  I love how she shares her struggles and transparency of things that we didn't see in her life in the public eye.  


10.  What I'm wearing...
I am still working from home, and it's so hot outside, so I have been wearing lots of tshirts and shorts.  I am ready for the cooler weather and to bring out my fall cozies.  

11.  What I'm doing this weekend...
Celebrating our baby boy!

12.  What I'm looking forward to next month...
September is the official start of fall and also my brother and I's birthday month!  Also, my fall decorations will be coming out!

13.  What else is new...
Life has been crazy and hard and throwing us all of the curve balls this year.  I have been relying on my faith now more than ever to get me through.  God continues to show me that there are good things in front of us.  Don't give up hope!

  1. Enjoy your trip to Orlando with the birthday boy! I just love that boardwalk/beach photo from your other family trip. Sounds like you had a great time.
