It’s the last Wednesday of the month, and that means 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! These are my favorite posts – I LOVE seeing what others have going on and love that I can look back at these someday!
What We’re Eating This Week…
All the comfort foods! Pot roast, soups, and turkey day of course!
I’ve created my own “HEALTHY” creamer and have loved this natural sweetener in my coffee and tea!
Speaking of tea, love this one!
What I’m Reminiscing About
The year!
How is it almost 2022?! Such a fun year – so many things done and memories made! Including this little random trip!
What I’m Loving…
Making time for these cuties!
I’ve been trying to sit and slow down with the kiddos! Audrey and I have enjoyed coloring!
We also brought back out our favorite magnetic tiles and have had some fun building together!
We finally baked the poodle cupcakes from Audrey’s cookbook!
These shoes!
These shoes have finally come in stock, I’ve been keeping an eye on these – they haven’t been in stock for years and now they are in stock and on sale!!
I’m also loving how my teacher gifts are coming together! These trees are ADORABLE and don’t break the bank! I plan to hang the gift cards like ornaments!
My laundry essentials!
I have to share this post with you because it has some products I am truly passionate about!
Including this FAVORITE!!!
I’m also loving these sunrise and sunsets!
What We’ve Been Up To…
8 pm house inspection
Ha, I laugh at how this sounds, but that’s what my husband coined it! We purged toys and reorganized recently and now in order to maintain a clean and tidy home we HAVE to check every room of the house at 8pm every night to make sure everything is put away. I feel like this is just what I needed for my stress! It is so nice to wake up to a clean house everyday and not worry about doing major cleaning. I personally feel less cluttered and so much more healthy mentally! It does take a bit of work, but it is worth it and stops the compounding mess that happens in a week!
What I’m Dreading…
Finding time to wrap in secret!
It can get a little stressful getting all the gifts wrapped with toddlers lurking around!
Eventually painting our dining room…
I don’t LOVE painting, but our dining room needs a major face lift! Been trying to pin some inspiration, but I know we need to lighten the space up big time!
What I’m Working On…
Sharing gift guides!
Cannot wait to share these with you! I just posted my teachers and coworkers guide – hope it’s helpful!
What I’m Excited About…
Start of Holiday Season!
Such an exciting time of year! Of course love seeing all the extra joy it brings to the kiddos!
We’ve already seen the Rudolph movie!
What I’m Watching/Reading…
Just did a library haul for the kiddos and loving the books we picked out! I shared them on Instagram this week! If you’re looking for some fun little books to read and something to do over break – head over to your library and check THESE OUT!
This book was super cute and funny too!
Reading “Then She Was Gone”
If and when I finish that (because it takes me forever!) I can’t wait to read Shari Lapena’s book.
What I’m Listening To
The kids tell me they are bored … can’t wait for winter and holiday break!! Always a difficult time of the year – esp. when your kiddos are sick and we can’t go anywhere!
What I’m Wearing…
This blanket cardigan is truly a dream!
Love this light blue sweater!
These cozy joggers!
Shared some Fall/Winter favorites on the blog – here are some of my favs!
Ugh, still loving this oversized COATIGAN! Dress it up, dress it down – so versatile!
These sweaters are SO comfortable and would be perfect for the holidays!
What I’m Doing This Weekend…
Obviously celebrating Thanksgiving, but also heading to the Ohio State Michigan game!
What I’m Looking Forward To Next Month…
Our R&R Trip
Andrew and I are headed out for our annual R&R trip to Florida! Cannot wait and I’m praying for some awesome weather!
Decorating the House
So excited to deck the house with Christmas cheer this weekend! The kids have been dying to get their trees out in their room!
Fun events planned!
So excited for some fun events planned whether it is a cooking class with Audrey, bday parties, dinners with family, a comedy show – December is going to be fun!
What Else is New??
Not much else! Have some nice travel plans and fun nights with friends to look forward to! Hope you have a great Wednesday! Thanks for reading!

I’m belatedly catching up on my What’s Up Wednesday posts. I’m totally stealing that 8pm house inspection time. We need that and it sounds perfect!!!
