WHAT'S UP WEDNESDAY OH MY JULY

Happy middle of Summer, middle of the week, my friends! July has been jampacked, and I am absorbing every second. Let’s get to What’s Up Wednesday with Shay and Schaefer. This post is jam packed and I think you’ll love it!


1: WHAT WE’RE EATING THIS WEEK: All kinds of summer goodness including Fair food and a breakfast at a great diner in Cincinnati called Sugar & Spice. But I did so bad on 2 trips this month that it’s back on the healthy food wagon for awhile. 



I’ve also made my Sheet Pan Mongolian Beef, Turkey Crescent Bake, and lots of these salads.

 

2. WHAT I’M REMINISCING ABOUT: of course, always reminiscing about up north (Michigan), the hunt for property is on! 




3: WHAT I’M LOVING: Flowers and Hummingbirds. Friends, a hummingbird perch is really a thing. They will sit on there to overlook their food source i.e. my hummingbird feeders. Mom got it for us. It took one a while to start doing it, but now he is. I caught it on camera through the blinds. Get one here HERE


LOVELY LEMON Colored HIBISCUS

The Front of the HOUSE this Year and all the LOVELY Bubblegum Pink Petunias!

AND buying all the things for the baby girls. Recently I got them a bunch of outfits; this is one for next summer. Get these outfits HERE! (On clearance!!!!) LOTS of Baby Clothes on clearance.



4: WHAT WE’VE BEEN UP TO: So much! Just to name a few. We went to the country fair with mom to see the most amazing “clean” comedian (no vulgarity or cussing) named John Crist and Laughed for 2 hrs straight. Saw a drone show at the Fair, we went to Cinci to see a boy, his girl and had a blast at a Reds game and Mr. Nine got a new Raptor (truck, lol) 




 

5: WHAT I’M DREADING: Summer coming to an end BUT I LOVE FALL. 

 

6: WHAT I’M WORKING ON: The Baby Shower of course! SO MUCH FUN! It’s going to be absolutely spectacular. I will have a post or 2 completely dedicated to the shower because I know it’ll be fun for y’all not to mention inspiration for parties.

 

Many of the things I am buying, but of course I am crafting some of my own banners, posters, displays, etc. I created this of the daddy to be to go on the cookie table; a photo when he was one month old right after a feeding. So cute. 


How adorable is this Feather lamp?


Look at these two big sweet bunnies that are going to go up on a shelf. 

 

7: WHAT I’M EXCITED ABOUT: Well, I think that’s a given, having first time grand babies, celebrating with everyone at the shower; looks like there’s going to be dozens of people attending!

 

8: WHAT I’M WATCHING & READING:

Watching

The Bear, Hijack, and the reboot of Justified on FX.


Reading 

Twenty Years Later. Get it HERE.

 

9: WHAT I’M LISTENING TO: Always Country, classic country, 80’s and Classic Rock

AND

I’m finally on the podcast train: Smartless and Net Positive right now. Thinking about starting my own. 

 

10: WHAT I’M WEARING: mostly shorts, T-shirts, bathing suits, but occasionally getting dressier, lol

Top HERE // Pants HERE // Necklace Set HERE // Sandals HERE

Dress HERE (under $25..so flattering) // Necklace Set HERE // Sandals HERE // Earrings HERE


 

11: WHAT I’M DOING THIS WEEKEND:

Quick Girls Trip

Dinner with Friends aka the Work Wives

Working on Baby Shower Stuff

 

12: WHAT I’M LOOKING FORWARD TO NEXT MONTH: The Baby Shower, a trip to Mackinac Island, Soaking up lots more Summer…

 

13: FAVORITE AMAZON FIND: So much lately, which I will share soon, but HOW this makes me FEEL is definitely a Favorite. Electrolyte replacement with half a pack first thing in the morning has changed my life especially during this crappy menopause stage. GET IT RIGHT HERE!


 Hope your week is going GREAT!

LOVE YOU ALL!

  1. Ok, I needed an electrolyte rec so in the cart that goes. I also want to add collagen. I think I am perimenopausal, so I want to start some things that could possibly help.
    So much good stuff. Those babies are going to be so lucky and your life is going to be so full. Have you said how close they live to you? I hope they are close. And, for your mom to still be so young and vibrant and have this experience is amazing, too.

  13. What a month!! You had and have so many great things going on. My son lives in Cincy- I'll have to ask him if he's heard of that diner. Sounds good. We go to Drunken Taco (near UC"s campus) for the best queso and good tacos, too. Your yard is definitely ready for the Barbie movie!! It's so, so pretty and speaking of pretty, you're going to be the coolest, prettiest grandma of all time. Two baby girls- oh my word, I can't imagine how excited you are!!
