What's up Wednesday? | August edition

Last month was my very first What’s up Wednesday? post and since I had so much fun reflecting on the month, I decided to play along again. Is anybody else shocked that August has practically come and gone? Time is just flying these days; such a nice change from the first trimester when I thought November would never get here. Now we’re officially under 3 months from her due date!

What we’re eating this week | Mostly crockpot recipes! And you know how much David loves taco soup and would eat it all year long if I would let him. Well, I’d been craving it lately so I made it this weekend. It’s definitely the earliest we’ve ever had soup around here. I don’t know if it’ll ever happen again but for how easy it is to create a delicious meal, you just can’t beat it.

And all these really quick weeknight meals.

What I’m reminiscing about | Going back to school season always brings the reminder that I’m no longer on my own time schedule. It’s always a hard pill to swallow. But in the summertime when you don’t sleep well, it’s ok because you can always sleep in or take a nap that afternoon. Ohhh, how those days are gone. And I miss them.

What I’m loving | New routines. New students. New beginnings. This quote from my Monday mantras.

What we’ve been up to | Crossing things off our summer bucket list. And hittin’ the lake.

What I’m dreading | The glucose test tomorrow. Does it taste really nasty? Eeeek, I don’t do well with swallowing terrible tasting medicine.

What I’m working on | Designing quotes and Bible verses to go in the nursery.

What I’m excited about | When Mom and I went to Target over the weekend, she bought me new bronzer. I’ve been looking for a good bronzer for a while now and I happened upon this one. I love how shimmery and light it is. Plus, you can use the individual shades as eyeshadow if you’re in a crunch!

What I’m watching | Still obsessed with this show. Although we’re towards the end of season 2 and David isn’t a fan of Crosby’s decision-making skills recently. Side note… why does Amber’s hair get shorter every time I see her. It’s weird.

What I’m listening to | Pandora. Always Pandora. The best news I’ve gotten this school year? I can stream Pandora from my computer at work. Fingers crossed that it stays this way all year!

What I’m wearing | Here’s a few fashion posts since my last What’s Up Wednesday reflection.

What I’m doing this weekend | Relaxing. Catching my breath from the first student week. Hopefully talking David into grilling me some chicken and catching up with a good friend.

What I’m looking forward to next month | A long weekend. Picking up our furniture. Getting to finish Baby Girl’s room.

What else is new | At week 27, I think we’re officially in the third trimester! Here’s to hoping it’s as great as the second was…

Favorite back to school tradition | What is that? I thought back to school just meant survive… because that’s really all you can do. I mean, does back to school shopping count? For real though, I really love Mel’s idea of a themed back to school feast. I think we’ll start doing that when Baby Girl gets older.
