What Up Wednesday!

Today I'm linking up with  Mel and Shay for What's Up Wednesday, Sheaffer is off doing her Bachelorette recap, they're hilarious, go check them out.

Here are the monthly question prompts.

What we're eating this week:

Mr. and I have been on the slow carb diet, but have started to slowly add in more carbs during the day. So basically I've been adding in carbs if there isn't a no carb option. Like yesterday, I was pressed for time, so I ate a sandwich for lunch, the horror!  But really, we've been eating some sort of meat/bean bowl. Although this particular week, we're going to add a stir fry in there, and some chilli, yum!


What I'm reminiscing about:

 As I'm planning Baby Fox's 4.5 birthday, thinking about how little he was! He's probably a couple of weeks old here.

What I'm loving:

My weekly sunrise hikes on Saturday. This picture was from March 3rd, the very first time I went

 

This is the same picture from this past Saturday.

I absolutely love the people I hike with and how positive and encouraging everyone is.

 

Here's a vlog I did on our hike.

What we've been up to:

Swim lessons

 

Hanging with family

and Friends

What I'm dreading:

Life stuff that I wish I didn't have to deal with.

What I'm working on:

Game night for my fellow parent friends. The game theme is Minute to Win It, how fun is that? Any ideas? I actually got the idea from this lady, fun right? I'll let you know how it goes, and I'll try to take pictures.

I'm also working on Baby Fox's 4.5 birthday party, Spiderman theme. Currently trying to figure out a way to DIY this background poster...I have big plans!

What I'm excited about:

Seeing our cousins this weekend! We haven't seen them in a while, so we're excited to hang out with them for a whole evening.

What I'm watching/reading:

We started watching The Wire, have you seen it? I didn't like it at first, but it's growing on me. Now that I know the character names and stuff. So happy that it has 5 seasons...will keep us busy for a while.

 

 I just ordered the books The Husbands Secret and The Light Between Oceans

 

  
What I'm listening to:

Not much, unfortunately.

What I'm wearing:

I found this cute dress from Old Navy, well actually Vanessa found it, and I ordered it immediately after seeing it on her. The possibilities on this dress are endless, can't wait to really add it into the rotation. Right now the 65° weather is preventing me from doing this...cause you know that's cold here.
  

What I'm doing this weekend:

We're going to go see some cousins and then swim lessons on Sunday, low key weekend.

What I'm looking forward to next month:

The parents game night party and Baby Fox's birthday party.Along with a birthday party for a good friend and maybe a mud run thrown in there, my first, should be fun :)
 

What else is new:

Not much, just trying to hug my kids a little tighter, and be the Yes mom, take my kids to the park more and just be with them more, the house work can wait.
 

What is your favorite thing to Grill/BBQ?

Hands down is my shrimp recipe.

Style Blogger Spring Challenge - Outfits 17 thru 21

Last recap with the ladies, recapping our outfits for this past week. Click here for the previous outfits.  And the winner to last weeks giveaway is Kim P., congrats Kim, what are you going to spend your $100 on? Hopefully something for just you! You deserve it! Now onto this weeks outfits.

 

Day 17

I love this dress especially when you add it with my go to closet piece, my jean jacket obsession! I love the pop of pink, like some of you have been saying/noticing, I have a lot of pink in my closet.

Day 18

I think this was my least favorite outfit in the whole challenge. I think it's not the outfit pieces, just MY pieces. Some of the ladies styled them so great. May it was the fact that I tucked in my shirt? Perhaps next time I'll leave it untucked and I'll like it better. But I do like the scarf and the sweater together.

Day 19

I love the simplicity of this outfit. Black tank, jeans, wedges and some statement earrings. This is definitely going to be a repeat throughout the next few months. Maybe some MNO during the summer months.

I'm fierce...grrr....

My little photo bombers, I love them so much.

Mini Fox has some seriously cute clothes. I can't wait for her to stand still enough so I can do some outfit posts of her.

Day 20

All white outfit with a chambray, yes please! Why I hadn't thought of this before I don't know. I do know that I will be getting a longer chambray for when I need to tie it up like this, thanks Casey for the tip!

Day 21

This outfit is almost a copy of outfit 16, but without the cardigan and I added a statement necklace, I love how it just totally changes the look of the outfit. Same basic pieces with different accessories.

Since this is the last post for the Spring Challenge, The Challenge Ladies all decided that we would post our favorite outfits of the 21 outfits. Here are my top 3.

I love both of these outfits, black and pink, I'm not sure why I hadn't paired this together yet...

This is an outfit I NEVER would have put together. Actually I don't think I would have bought this floral skirt without Alison's list. I am so glad she did, because this is definitely going to be a repeat outfit.

My last favorite is these white jeans with the black tank and the floral scarf. Perfection.

Thank you Alison for telling me what to wear for the Spring. I'm trying to give myself a no clothes shopping until the Nordstrom Anniversary sale that usually happens in July...I think I can, I think I can, I think I can.

Did you participate in the challenge? What was your favorite outfit?

Now go check out how the other ladies styled their outfits!

A bonus for you Carrie, Lana, Deena and Leslie - haha!

Style Me Spring 2015 Challenge - Outfits 10 Thru 16

Hey, Hey! I'm back with the ladies, recapping our outfits for this past week. Click here for the previous outfits. First, the winner for the Nordstroms gift card giveaway was Darcy Lynn! Congrats! Don't forget to enter my $100 giveaway going on right now! Here are outfits from day 10 through day 16.

Day 10


I love white pants. I know they're not always practical, but I just love them. They go with almost anything, and just look so classy. How do you feel about white pants?

Day 11


Striped dress, super comfy and casual, but looks totally put together. Especially when you add a statement necklace to it. I do have to say that I need to get more comfortable bright flats, these are so uncomfortable! I wore them to work and ended up having to change into my emergency shoes (you know you all have a pair at work, and if you don't you should!)

Day 12


I FINALLY ordered some camo pants, but I'm waiting for them to come in the mail, really hoping that they work out. But until then, I've substituted them for some bright pants. I have a ladder necklace on, but for whatever reason you can barely see it. I still have problems tying my chambray, perhaps I have the wrong kind? What kind of chambrays do you have, and do you find it easy to tie?

My little photo bomber!

Day 13


This might be my go to outfit for the summer, white pants (if you don't have a pair, you need to go get some!), grey tee and a bright sweater. Oh hey guess what? I found a grey slouchy tee (they don't have grey anymore, but they have teal and it's comfy too, I know this because I bought it too, haha), so excited to try it on. I haven't worn it yet with an outfit, but it's washed and on a hanger in my closet.

Day 14


A different striped dress, I thought I would change it up, Mr. wasn't so sure about this, and quite frankly either am I. I think the scarf might be a little too much. Especially with the 90° we're getting right now.

Photobomer...

Day 15


I have to admit, this outfit called for some camo pants, but I substituted my bright pants and then I thought, it's a little hot, let's just do this polka dot shirt and I love this combo. I don't think I would have ever put this together, and I'm not entirely sure why not. I added a really simple necklace I got from Loft (currently only  $18).

Day 16


Mr really wasn't sure about this outfit, and I wasn't either, but now looking at the pictures, I sort of like it. It works, not my favorite at all, but nice combo to throw together.

I just love this skirt so much!

Mr.'s butt picture...LOL

Now go check out some of the other Style Bloggers and see how they wore their challenge outfits.
