What's Up Wednesday..WOW APRIL

Happy middle of the week, friends! Can I just get a wow WOW for what the month of April has been! What a whirlwind of goodness. Of course, the weather’s been up and down, but I’ve never let that detour me from having fun, lol.


1: WHAT WE’RE EATING THIS WEEK: I have been eating extra healthy and one thing I am devouring is a salad mixture with Marinated mozzarella balls, the oil from them, tomatoes, cucumbers and a tablespoon of pesto; so easy,

so colorful and so yummy!



For a quick meal, we have also been loving the Costco Chicken Fillets with Brioche buns!


AND when Not eating Healthy NUTELLA BISCUITS that we first got in Paris. Can't fun d hear but Mr. Nine found on Amazon.


2. WHAT I’M REMINISCING ABOUT: Our trip to London and Paris. We left exactly one month ago today and Oh, I wish we would’ve had longer. All the recaps are on the blog in the last couple weeks. Here is a favorite picture from the trip with Mr. Nine.


3: WHAT I’M LOVING: They opened our pool on Monday, so I cannot wait till it gets a little warmer and we can enjoy. SPRING: Flowing Trees, Spring Blooms, Green Grass, and Bird's Chirping! 


Obviously Queen of the Pool if I own 2 shirts, LOL. Lots on Ebay HERE


And Shopping with Sweet Stella. She is so good in the stores.

4: WHAT WE’VE BEEN UP TO: LOTS! Including Going to Greenhouses with Mom gathering our posies. Attending a fabulous Laura Geller Luncheon and girl time with the Blonde Squad last week in Chicago.


The Amazing Laura Geller...funny, precious and smart!


5: WHAT I’M DREADING: Summertime going way too fast.


6. WHAT I'M WORKING ON: Tons always and booking our Mother's Day Brunch!


7: WHAT I’M EXCITED ABOUT: Well, I think that’s a given, having first time grand-babies, those twins are going to be so much fun! See post HERE where I announced this..


We got the kids unisex onesies in Paris and put in their Easter Eggs. 


There are those beauties, will find out sexes in a few short weeks!



8: WHAT I’M WATCHING & READING: Ted Lasso, Yellow Jackets, American Idol. Sad to see Ryan Secrest go but I am loving Live with Kelly and Mark!

  1. We have that brand of chicken nuggets, but I didn't know they also had patties. A brioche bun makes everything better - I know there are also hot dog buns. Brioche makes the best grilled cheese and french toast, too! Butter! I love your trip outfits. You looked so European! You have so much to look forward to - pool and twins being my personal favorites!

    Lovely photos, love that red dress! I just ordered the ruffled jacket in both colors to see which looks best, leaning towards black as I have many things that would be enhanced. You are very inspiring!
