What’s Up Wednesday [03.26.25]

It’s the last Wednesday of the month, and that means- MY FAVORITE POST! I’m linking up with some of my favorite bloggers Mix & Match Mama and Sheaffer Told Me To to share what has been happening around here!

My gosh – I feel like I’ve been saying this like crazy recently, but Spring is OFFICIALLY the busiest time of the year. I used to feel like Fall took the cake in this department, but Spring crushes me every single year. Even when I try my best to not do all the things so we can have down time, the activities find a way to all intersect in the worst way in the spring – not to mention the start of flower farming season that comes on FAST!

Like always, here’s a summary of what’s been happening around here!

What We’re Eating This Week…

I’ve been really starting to get back into a health kick. I was pretty stressed the past couple weeks and felt we were running around quite a bit with reasons beyond my control. I’ve noticed weight gain recently despite working out and not changing much in my day-to-day diet. I’m starting to think stress, hormones and age are coming into play and need to take my health and well being a little more seriously. We are also trying to continue introducing the kids to more healthier food/snack options so they start craving these things rather than the junk that exists around us.

This week I’ve made copycat starbucks egg bites and homemade s’mores granola bars.

For breakfast, I made this yummy avocado toast drizzled with olive oil and red pepper flakes on Dave’s Killer Bread…

DINNER THIS WEEK: I can’t believe I didn’t get a picture, but I made an oven roasted whole chicken for the first time and it was EXCELLENT! Lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and Italian seasoning – popped in the oven for about an hour and a half – so easy and very tasty too!
– Monday we had creamy chicken orzo with peas
– Yesterday, oven chicken, mashed potatoes and salad
– Wednesday – Quick meal – possibly buttered noodles or hot dogs? We have a busy night
– Thursday – steak, sweet potatoes and broccoli
– Friday – Fish fry or salmon at home
– Saturday – 1st birthday party for my niece!

What I’m Reminiscing About

When I first started this blog in 2019! I remember being so nervous about starting it and wondering if anyone would ever see or read it! You all have blown me away!

What I’m Loving…

Having the sunshine and warmth back. I know it’s not here for good just yet, but it was amazing when we had it! We’ve really enjoyed being back outside!

These immunity shots. They work for. real.

We’ve also loved some quality time spent at our favorite breakfast diner!

And the gorgeous sunrise and sunset skies!

And a lunar eclipse!

Also cannot forget my potpourri simmer pots! I LOVE DOING THESE! This one is oranges, cinnamon, and cloves.

A visit to Gigi on St. Patrick’s Day – of course we all had to wear our green for her and draw some pictures!

And how about a nice corned beef meal!

Did I mention this dog….she cracks me up.

What We’ve Been Up To…

The question is – what HAVEN’T we been up too! We’ve had a handbag bash event, girl scout cookie madness (I’m the manager), flag football for the boys, track for the school kiddos, carpooling, assisting a friend with set up for an event, two showers (one bridal one baby) – one assisted with some flower things – the other helped big time complete with a flower bar, an out of town wedding, birthday celebrations, Donuts with Dad and trying to keep up with home and flower farming – IT’S BEEN CRAZY…but all the best things!

We also had the treat of a date night at home a couple weeks ago! That was so nice to head out downtown to Little Italy and enjoy the best food!

What I’m Dreading…

This weather… It has been pretty cold and it makes for a little more work in my flower business. I really have to keep an eye on any freezing nights and protect the flowers I’ve already planted.

What I’m Working On…

All things flowers for the most part! You can check out my flower website if you are interested in growing your own DAHLIAS! I have some varieties that are really fabulous!

Also trying to work to keep this house sane and in check! BUSY TIME!

Also, I want to share this, I was able to decorate a cake just like the old days (I worked the DQ caker dept for 7 years decorating and making ice cream cakes!) I doctored up a plain Costco cake for a bridal shower!

What I’m Excited About…

Lots of exciting things ahead – particularly for my flower business!

What I’m Watching/Reading…

Nothing right now – I’m boring….

What I’m Listening To

My Hallow app daily reflection and the rosary

What I’m Wearing…

Loved this cardigan for date night – it’s from TJ Maxx – same with the jeans. Belt is Amazon.

I’ve been obsessed with these cargo pants! Love both the black and the camo. They are super cheap but don’t look it!

What I’m Doing This Weekend…

We have double header flag games for my youngest, flag for my middle, a track meet for my oldest, 1st birthday party for my sweet niece and a relaxing Sunday!

What I’m Looking Forward To Next Month…

Spring break and TULIPS!!

What Else is New??

Nothing I can think of right now!

Favorite Amazon Purchase this Month….

These goggles for the kiddos! Will make the perfect Easter basket stuffers!

That’s all for today! As always, thanks for reading and Happy Wednesday!
