BEFORE
AFTER
What I'm Dreading
Some of my best friends going to Aruba...I was supposed to go...I backed out because I felt too guilty which brings me to my next subject
What I'm Working On
Becoming stronger- not being riddened with guilt...working towards being healthier from the inside out. Trying to do more for myself and instead of trying to please everyone around me...this will keep me healthier in the long term and make me a better wife and mother. Experiencing fun and joy should not come with guilt. I am really working hard on it this year, with some professional help and all and hope by next year, you will see me traveling with my friends!
What I'm Excited About
A Golf Overnight with some SPBs. See what I mean? I am trying...even though it is for one night...I can't wait to get outside again and golf and with a fun group!
What I'm Watching/Reading
Well...several shows have wrapped up for the season like The Affair, Dance Moms, Younger, American Housewife and This is Us.
I am still enjoying some other favorites though.....
Jane The Virgin
Life...In Pieces
Scandal
Teachers
and a new cute show
Superior Donuts
and I have been really good at keeping up with my reading goal this year- one book per month.
So far so good!
January
It was The Couple Next Door by Shari Lapena
February
The Husband's Secret by Liane Moriarty
March
and I just finished up When Is Food Is Love- By Geneen Roth
April
I just started Summer People by Elin Hilderband
What I'm Listening To
Some favorite songs that we have on rewind right now in the car....

What I'm Doing This Weekend
We are heading to Providence for Diana's Cheer Comp and then Sunday hoping to have some quality family time with the rents
What I'm Looking Forward To Next Month
All sorts of fun: Easter, The Breast Cancer Fashion Show, Eva's Birthday and more!
(Princess Jasmine will be coming to Eva's party so I am researching all sorts of fun to go with that theme!)
What Else Is New?
I can't wait for Spring! I can't wait to take out all of my Lilly! I have Zach's graduation and a bridal shower and some town events and can't wait for it to be warm enough!
Bonus Question For The Month: "What's My Favorite Spring Wardrobe Piece?"
I would have to say my white kick crop jeans. They are perfect for a super casual outfit and also an awesome staple when dressing up a bit! They are comfy, trendy and the perfect staple for not only Spring but Summer too!
(You can't really see them in my Lilly pics above but they look kind of like the ones on the model here- even though she is a size 2) :)
That's All for Now- Can't wait to read all you have been up to!

The kitchen looks GREAT! That was great willpower in turning down that trip to Aruba, and guilt is definitely an issue in this house. My mom definitely knows how to play that card on me, and it works every time- I definitely have to work on that. Cheers to a great April!
I'm so glad you wrote that Al- same here
You've been busy! Sheet pan fajitas have recently become my go-to dinner. So quick and easy and delicious! Congrats to your husband on his win. That is awesome! I am going to add some of those books you mention to my library list. Have a great day!
I don't know how you do it all lady! You are always so accomplished! I'm LOVING the kitchen and I totally feel ya on the whole "guilt" thing.
Your menu for this week sounds delish! Your kitchen looks AMAZING!!!! I think as women we all feel guilty for taking time away from our homes and husbands but sometimes we just need a break :) Enjoy your golf trip!

Love the kitchen remodel!! I'm right there with ya on the guilt thing. I feel like I'm being pulled in 50 different directions and it's exhausting. So glad you have your friends and family!!
I love your kitchen reno! Looks great! Good luck on your fabulous priority of making guilt go away. You have this! You can totally do it. Congratulations on your husband's new role as an elected official too. Enjoy your weekend!
