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!

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.

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!

AMAZON PURCHASES...COVID-19 EDITION

I’m going to continue as normal with monthly Amazon posts but now with a twist, calling this the COVID-19 edition…things you may need or want during this time. And I do want you to know my feelings on deliveries. Of course I don’t want anything coming from overseas, but if it’s from a warehouse here, AND PRIME, I let the box sit on my porch for 24 hours, then I bring it in with gloves, open it up and take out the contents, then discard the cardboard and disinfect where it was sitting and wash my hands. While I’m not ordering even a fraction of what I normally do, I do think deliveries can be safe if you do your part and it keeps these people in business!

Disposable Gloves 
If you buy anything at all during this pandemic, these are the best things you can get if you’re planning on going to the grocery store. I also put them on to bring in packages, go and get the mail, etc..just pull them off inside out and throw them out.
BUY GLOVES HERE

Metatarsal Foot Pad Sleeves
If you see my walk and talk on Instagram Stories , you may have seen that I was having some trouble with my left foot metatarsal area, these foot pad sleeves, put on under my socks and my tennis shoes are a lifesaver! Highly recommended! 
BUY HERE

Old Wisconsin Turkey Snack Sticks
My boys absolutely love these turkey snack sticks and so do I, low cal and no carbs but high protein! Our local grocery stopped carrying them so now I’m so excited I can get a huge box of them on Amazon which is so much cheaper anyway!
 BUY Snack Sticks HERE

HighKey Snacks
I have shared my love of HighKey snacks with you before, especially the mini cookies but since then I’ve also tried the cinnamon and almond granola and the Blueberry muffins, and they are both just as yummy! I especially love making a strawberry and yogurt parfaits with the granola!

BUY COOKIE TRIO HERE

Ruffle skirt
This adorable red and leopard print SKIRT was one I got to take on my Florida trip that got canceled. But I didn’t return it, I kept it so I can wear it all summer long! And even in quarantine, I may just wear it around the house as it is so comfortable with a little tank top or T-shirt.

The precious girlfriend of one of our sons not only gave me a bunch of gorgeous earrings but she also gave me this cute earring holder that rotates around to put in my closet, it’s perfect and so sweet.
