What's Up Wednesday (August 2019)

I can't believe August is almost over...this has definitely been the roughest month of the year for us but we always have blind faith and know a bigger door will be opening soon and HEY!  This is my favorite linkup for the month and a great distraction.  Linking up with the lovely ladies HERE

What We're Eating This Week

Meal Planning is starting to be a thing again here.....but we are not going hard core until next week AND Mama has the month of September all planned out FTW!

 What I'm Reminiscing About

Childhood Memories....Childhood Homes...

What I'm Loving

 It will sound weird but the summer thunder storms that hit around dinner time....I love the beautiful weather we have been having AND the thunderstorms make you not only appreciate the days we have had but it reminds you that it is still summer :)

What We've Been Up To 

  A Whole Lotta Praying...when I have the energy...hopefully by next month...I will recap August and September at that point...until then...keeping the faith

What I'm Dreading

When Eva starts Kindergarten next week...I will be excited and nervous for her and at the same time, dreading that she will no longer be home during the day...it is the end of an era and this chapter in our lives and I will miss her little voice in the background as I work...sigh...

What I'm Working On

Making placements....networking for my hubby...and working on my 2019 Goals

What I'm Excited About

For my girls to have a great school year

What I'm Listening To


Instead of flipping around and skipping all the songs on my phone, I have been letting them play...and I thought I would get squacking from the back seat but they seem to be digging my music so there's that ;)  My music is all over the place too...some classics...some 90's alternatives...some pop hits

What I'm Wearing


Recapped some Summer Fashion Faves a few weeks back HERE

What I'm Doing This Weekend


My besties are taking me out Friday night to celebrate my birthday.  Rob and I are attending Janie's 60th Birthday Dinner on Saturday Night and then we are relaxing and getting ready for school to start on Tuesday!  Now it feels too fast!



What I'm Looking Forward To Next Month


I am really hoping and praying for a new job for Rob!



What Else Is New?
