What's Up Wednesday 8.29.18

Hey everyone! How are we already at the end of August?! I'm linking up with Mel, Sheaffer, and Shay like we do every month, and here's what we've been up to this month!



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

and shredded chicken tacos - both super yummy!

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!

Our Little Party Crasher

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!

...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

Starting to decorate for the holidays - eek!!!

Bonus Question: What's My Favorite Back to School Tradition

Taking first day of school photos!

Hope you have a great last couple of days of August!
