What's Up Wednesday (4/28/21)

Did April fly by for anyone else? I can't believe that we are already to the last Wednesday of the month.  We were super busy this month, so maybe that's why it seemed to literally zoom past us.  Either way, we are closer to the end of the school year and have a lot to look forward to in May.  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...

I made this Brocc Your Body mexican pizza recipe, and it was delicious! I love trying new things to switch out our normal routine for the week.  I also meal prepped egg muffins with peppers, onions, spinach and egg for breakfast this week and it's definitely made my mornings easier.  

2.  What I'm reminiscing about...
We had a great Easter weekend! Mike's brother was in town for the weekend and we started the weekend with one of my favorite traditions of dying Easter eggs with the kids.  I truly hope that they never grow too old to do this activity with me.  



Then we heard about an egg hunt at our local golf course, where lucky Vincent found the golden egg and won a huge basket of goodies!





On Easter morning we woke up, had breakfast and got into the Easter egg hunts.  We had all of the family over for Easter lunch, and it was so nice to get everyone together.  One of the best weekend's we've had in a long time.  Last year we missed out on a lot of Easter fun, so we made sure to make up for it this year. 









3.  What I'm loving...
My orchid is blooming, and they are my favorite flower.  I look forward to these blooms all year, and love when they finally open up and share their beauty. 

4.  What we've been up to...
Flag football, soccer, flag football, soccer (REPEAT!) Seriously, this month we have been living at these fields as both of our kids started spring sports again.  Rooting for them from the sidelines is one of my favorite things to do, I will always be their biggest cheerleader...




I got Arianna the preschool pass at Busch Gardens, so her and I went one afternoon after school to redeem her pass and it was EMPTY! We had the best time and she got to ride all of the rides, including her first roller coaster!





We got to get dinner with some friends after one of Vincent's flag football games.  Vincent was too busy to take pictures with me...

Dinner with some of our best friends at a local Tampa restaurant...

Bike rides to the park make for a fun Sunday afternoon...

5.  What I'm dreading...
My baby is graduating preschool! I know that day will be emotional on my momma heart.  Although I love watching her grow, and getting a front seat to that show, we've been going to this daycare for almost 8 years, and it will be a bittersweet ending for us that the first time we get to go inside all day will be for her graduation.  I did a side by side comparison of my graduation picture with hers, and she truly looks so much like her Daddy!! 

6.  What I'm working on...
My 20-year high school reunion got postponed in 2020 due to COVID, so we are working on finalizing all of the details for our rescheduled event in July of this year.  

7.  What I'm excited about...
My brother and his family are coming to visit in May! I haven't seen them in person in over two years, I am so EXCITED to see him and his family!

8.  What I'm watching/reading...
My husband and I are late to the game, but are loving watching Cobra Kai!  I loved Karate Kid as a child and the Netflix series is amazing and so fun to watch!

I just got this copy of Clarity and Connection in the mail.  I love following this author on social media, and refer to a lot of his messages in my yoga classes.  I can't wait to find the ones that stand out the most to me in this book.  

I also just finished reading The Dinner List by Rebecca Steele, about a young professional who gets to have dinner with the 5 most influential people in her life, one of them being Audrey Hepburn.  

I am currently reading The Family Next Door, by Sally Hepworth.  

9.  What I'm listening to...
You guys, I can not stop listening to Justin Bieber! My whole family loves the new record.  #belieber


10.  What I'm wearing...
I just got a few new workout clothes, and new clothes always make me more motivated to just get it done, anyone else? I took this picture of the new Free People top that I got from Nordstrom while I was at my yoga studio last night when I realized I was matching our mural wall.  

I also got these super cute Tory Burch jelly sandals for summer, and I love them!  They are my favorite color too!  Definitely influenced by Mix and Match Momma on these.  
11.  What I'm doing this weekend...
Flag Football Fridays and we have our biannual neighborhood garage sale on Saturday.  I hope that we have a lot of traffic and are able to get rid of a lot of stuff!

12.  What I'm looking forward to next month...
Mike and I have a vacation planned to St. Augustine.  A few nights away with my husband is just what this momma needs.  Arianna has her spring dance recital and Preschool graduation (I'll be in the corner crying until then).  We also celebrate our 9th wedding anniversary over Memorial Day weekend.  

13.  What else is new...
My beautiful bestie gave birth to her third child, Carter Piccion, 5 weeks early.  He has been in the NICU since delivery and this is a hard season for her and her family.  Any prayers that you could send their way would be so appreciated!  She is a rockstar and so strong, but I know she would feel the prayers if you sent them her way.
