It has been about a month so definitely not as bad as years, but.... I need to do better!
So it is What's up Wednesday?!
In no particular order...
What we are listening to...
I took this girl to her first concert last Friday night so it has been all Taylor all day and all night!
What we are eating....
I make this instant pot chicken corn chowder about once every couple of weeks and everyone other than Colton loves it! (Hey, you can't win them all) It's from the blog My Food Story and turns out excellent every time. LOVE my instant pot. I use it at least three times a week. Last night I made Mexican Rice in it.
What I am loving...
False eyelashes. I never thought I would be a girl to wear false eyelashes on the daily but I will say that I have gotten pretty good at putting them on!! I had extensions several times over the past year and they really did just shoot my real eyelashes to hell, so while they are growing back I will gladly wear the falsies. On days when I mostly am feeling like a dowdy stay at home mom in my leggings and oversized shirts, all I have to do is slap on a little makeup and my eyelashes and it makes me feel about 100% better about myself. Add curling my hair on top of it and I feel like freaking Betty Boop. I have been buying this inexpensive brand called Bepholan on Amazon prime and have been thrilled with them. I have cleaned and reused them at least 10 times and they are keeping their shape pretty well! They are not over the top and really do just look similar the extensions I previously had at a fraction of the cost and none of the damage. Also, I hated that I couldn't peel my extensions off at night because I want to be totally comfortable when I sleep and I love that with falsies you can. Win!!!!
What I am working on...
I got a cricut a couple of years ago mostly to have for my classroom but honestly never found the time to learn too much about how to use it while I was teaching. Since I am home for now, I have been trying to read up and watch more about it. I got Zoey a couple of blank dog shirts off of amazon and some glitter heat transfer vinyl and am going to try to make her a couple of "personalized" dog shirts. Is this really what my life has come to? Making dog shirts?!?! Ha! Only kidding. I love my life and love the chance to delve more into my hobbies right now. Incredibly blessed and taking advantage of a "slower" week around here.
What I am dreading...
more rain this weekend. I can't remember a late summer/fall where we have EVER had this much rain. We are supposed to get more this weekend and I am OVER it. The kids have a four day weekend and it sure would be nice to get out and do something fun. The cool weather has also put an early end to our pool season. #notafan
What I am watching...
All the Gilmore Girls episodes. I am a #foreverfan And something about Fall just makes me want to fall asleep watching #alltheepisodes
What I am reading...
I just started The Great Alone by Kristin Hannah. I really love this book so far and I am hoping it stays as good as it has started!! It's a fictional story about a teenage girl in the 1970s who relocates to Alaska with her mom and dad and how they deal with the culture and environmental shock of the new land while also coping with her father's mental illness. The character development is spot on so far with Alaska being just as much of a main character as anyone. I don't always agree with thousands of 5 star ratings. I am reeeeeeeallly picky about my books and I can't tell you how many I have read that others have raved about that I was just like... "eh" so I definitely don't choose my books that way. I usually go by past books I have read by the same author, genres, and then maybe read a few reviews. The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah is in my top five books ever so I have high hopes!!
Happy Wednesday! What's up for you today?
