1. What we are eating this week
Mike is working crazy hours for the next couple of weeks, so I am making sure to make dinners that will have leftovers so he can have lunch the next day, while also making quick meals since I have a baby hanging around the house these days ;)
I made a yummy chicken enchilada soup
2. What I'm reminiscing about
Last week was the first week Back to School. I am taking some time off to be a Mommy, so it was definitely bittersweet, missing my Semple Dragons pretty hard. Here are my First Day of School pictures from years past...yes I wear the same dress each year-it brings me good luck!

3. What I'm Loving
Being a stay at home Mommy! It's crazy, sometimes I will look at the clock and it's already 4:30, and I'll ask myself what I did that day, but the days just go by so fast! It has definitely been literally every second of every day, but I wouldn't change it for the world. I'm so lucky that I have the ability to be around when he reaches all his Milestones and be able to experience it with him :)
4. What We've Been Up To
It was our 3 year anniversary last week, so we took the nugget with us to celebrate with dinner! We also went to our sweet friends Engagement Party aa couple weeks ago-but I totally spaced and didn't get a photo - DOH!

5. What I'm Dreading
In a couple weeks we go back for Miles' 4 Month Round of Shots.....Definitely not looking forward to him being so upset, poor guy.
6. What I'm Working On
Losing the baby weight! I was pretty lucky that pretty much most of it came off really quickly once I started breastfeeding, I still have a little more to lose to be at my Pre-Pregnancy Weight, but I'm also trying to lose a few extra pounds on top of that. It has proven to be pretty tricky with the little guy around, but I am trying to get creative! Sit ups and squats in his nursery when he's playing on the floor, taking long walks at the park, just missing out on doing that hard core cardio, but that will come with time!
7. What I'm Excited About
Miles has been sleeping in his big boy crib - which means Mommy is getting more sleep each night! So I'm excited to start tackling projects around the house.
8. What I'm Watching/Reading
Let's be real, I don't have time to read right now...But I have a confession, when I am breastfeeding, I am ALWAYS watching something! Since breastfeeding, Netflix has become my best friend, and I started/completed the following series (please don't judge me, this is ridiculous I know...)
Riverdale - SO GOOD!
Scandal - SO GOOD!
How to Get Away With Murder - Growing on Me
And I'm currently in the middle of Parenthoood!
...What can I say, my kid likes to eat...
9. What I'm Listening To
Still my same old Country station in the car...and lots of baby songs when we're at home...
10. What I'm Wearing
Lots of workout clothes, all.the.time
11. What I'm Doing This Weekend
Mike is working so Little Man and I are going to spend some time in Castro Valley with my family. We love our trips to see Mimi, PaPaw and Funcle!
12. What I'm Looking Forward to Next Month
