What's Up Wednesday {February 2016}

Today I’m linking up with Shay, Mel & Sheaffer for this months What’s Up Wednesday! The questions are in green so check it out and join the fun.

{WHAT WE’RE EATING THIS WEEK}

I threw this Crock Pot Pork Tenderloin in the crock pot Tuesday morning sans honey and it was delicious.

Thursday Shay’s Baked Spinach Pesto Tacos are on the menu and they are the bomb. My family loves them. It has been awhile since I’ve thrown this one together. Bonus when there are leftovers it also tastes so good with eggs the next day.

I think I’m needing a little carb splurge so my favorite Lasagna is on the list for Friday night dinner. Hoping maybe my daughter and her boyfriend will come over so it will be wiped out in one night.

{WHAT I’M REMINISCING ABOUT}

Last February we took a quick trip to Arizona to watch TCU baseball and took the opportunity to drive to see the Grand Canyon. No pictures can really capture the beauty. These pictures have been popping up all week on my time hop and reminding me how much fun we had.

{WHAT I’M LOVING}

Have you seen the new line of DV items at Target?!! So much cuteness. I have not had a chance to go try any of these shoes on or check out the bags but I’m loving what I see and right now they do have $10 off $50 at least online and I assume the same in the store.

{WHAT WE’VE BEEN UP TO}

Basketball ended but we jumped right into 7 on 7 football and spring baseball. Carly Jo has been to slumber parties the past two weekends in a row. This time of year the first thing that seems to go by the wayside is date night so I put together a list of 16 dates I’d like to take this year.

{WHAT I’M DREADING}

Our yard has been ignored for far too long and needs some love. I know the finished product will make me so happy but I’m somewhat dreading all the leaves we will need to bag before we can even get started!

{WHAT I’M WORKING ON}

I shared some room inspiration I’ve been pinning last week for both Carly and Dillon’s rooms. I really want to give their spaces lots of thought and make it truly something they love. I think we have the paint colors narrowed down and I’m trying to decide on furniture…some new, some old….and repainting what we have.

{WHAT I’M EXCITED ABOUT}

Spring training for Riley started this week and I just can’t wait to hear all about it and see where the year takes him! He has worked so hard in the off season and I’m so proud of him.

{WHAT I’M WATCHING/READING}

I’m not even going to lie…all you people knocking out multiple books a month and I can barely make it through one every three months. I finally finished Daring Greatly and have started this book. Hoping it goes faster because my reading list just keeps getting longer and longer.

{WHAT I’M LISTENING TO}

I’m so on the Bieber band wagon! I love this song!

{WHAT I’M WEARING}

I’ve been wearing lots of items from my closet!

My favorite field jacket (similar one here) over a floral top to start thinking about spring! Trading out scarves for a fun necklace as the temperatures start rising. My crossbody is sold out but you can find a similar option here or here which are also priced well. I am restraining myself from purchasing this Sole Society bag.

I have worn this sweater so many times and so many different ways. This was definitely one of my best purchases this season. Loved layering it with a chambray shirt recently and popping on my Kendra Scott necklace.

I’ve been obsessed with vertical striped tops like this one or this one and low and behold I actually had one in my closet! Who knew how cute it would be with my red jacket?

After Riley signed last year I started paying attention to orange and navy with hopes I will eventually have a chance to wear it! Love how this Pleione top came together with a little spring color but still holding onto winter with my OTK boots.

This top..y’all it’s just been hanging around for a long while and I can’t even remember the last time I wore it. Thing is I LOVED wearing it so hopefully I’ll pull it out more often. I was so glad when I saw these pearls on the J. Crew Factory site shown worn unclasped long…it took my mind a minute to accept this could happen but I finally figured it out. One necklace two ways!

I am still working on figuring out how to wear white jeans in the winter but I feel like I actually nailed it with this look and I was super proud!

{WHAT I’M DOING THIS WEEKEND}

We are headed to my hometown this weekend for a friends wedding and I’m excited about seeing some people I haven’t seen in a really long time. At least I’m pretty sure I’m excited about this! haha

{WHAT I’M LOOKING FORWARD TO NEXT MONTH}

Florida! I booked our trip and we are so excited about some time away. Hopefully we will also have some time with Riley and see him throw a time or two. Narrowing down our plans which will include fishing, beach time and possibly a tour of the Kennedy Space Center. Carly & I are also plotting a marathon Disney in a day.

{WHAT ELSE IS NEW}

I think this list pretty much covered everything!

{FAVORITE EASTER TRADITION}

I really think being in church as a family is my favorite Easter tradition. We have not done this often enough as a family over the years so when we are able to be together it always fills my heart. Of course there will be egg dying and maybe an egg hunt along with a yummy lunch. I typically make my fruit salad and last year we served brunch after early church and it was perfect! Seriously….how in the world could these kids have grown up so fast!!
