Happy Wednesday everyone!
These past few weeks have been quite the whirlwind and I didn’t have a post planned for today until I noticed it was What’s Up Wednesday on the calendar. I LOVE What’s Up Wednesday posts so I decided to quickly throw together a post in the next half-hour. Yikes! I’ve never been able to do that, so wish me luck and here we go.
In case you’re somewhat new to the blog, one Wednesday every month I link up with a few other ladies’ awesome blogs (like Mix and Match Mama) and share some random and fun things that are going on in my life.
Each time I answer the following questions:
Last month’s post was super fun (and included an amazing giveaway from The Moviehouse). Unfortunately, today there’s no giveaway. But keep reading for some random insight into my crazy life lately!
1. What We’re Eating This Week …
I have high hopes of making some awesome cookies and treats for my neighbors towards the end of the week but with sick kiddos and a quick work trip yesterday, we haven’t baked much yet. However, I did throw together this chicken chili the night before last. We ate it over the past couple of days and it was a crowdpleaser.
2. What I’m Reminiscing About …
Our trip to Cabo earlier this month.
We stayed at Pueblo Bonito Sunset Beach and my husband and I really enjoyed just relaxing and catching up with one another. The resort itself is absolutely beautiful. We could choose from several pools to layout at during the day and several restaurants to try throughout our stay.
We went in to town a couple times and my husband said his favorite part of the trip was when we had dinner in town at Gus’s Taco Stand. It is an authentic Mexican joint and we couldn’t recognize much on the menu. My husband ordered three items that seemed to be similar to little tacos and I thought I did as well. The waiter kept asking if I was sure I wanted that much and I told him I just wanted to try out a few things, so yeah. I was a little annoyed thinking he was telling me I didn’t need to eat so much. I’m on vacation! If I want three tacos, leave me alone. LOL. Well … then my dinner came …
Yeah, I apparently ordered two tacos which came on the orange plate and the third item is on the yellow plate … It was definitely not a taco and instead was the largest platter of cooked meat, avocados, cheese, and tortillas I’ve ever seen. Needless to say, I was so embarrassed! No wonder the poor guy thought I was crazy.
3. What I’m Loving …
My kids are SO excited for Christmas! This is the first year that Parker really gets it, so it’s been a blast watching her witness the Christmas season and understand all of it for the first time.
So excited! LOL.
4. What We’ve Been Up To …
We just got back from a fun weekend in the DFW area visiting family.
My kids were spoiled rotten and loved getting to play with their cousins.
5. What I’m Dreading …
I have an appointment with an endodontist tomorrow that I’m not too excited about. You know your doomed when you send your x-ray to your Arizona-based, extremely honest father-in-law endodontist and he emphasizes the long road ahead of you and encourages your husband to give me lots of hugs. 🙁
6. What I’m Working On …
Finishing my Christmas purchases (but my list is mostly complete – yay), wrapping presents, and figuring out when I’ll assemble various items and hide them before the big day.
7. What I’m Excited About …
Obviously, Christmas!
8. What I’m Watching/ Reading …
Dinotrux, Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood, and Toy Story. Yep, I haven’t had much “me” time lately. I have been listening to a few audiobooks that I can’t wait to tell you all about in next week’s Four Points Mom and Books post. Here’s last month’s post in case you’re wanting some ideas.
9. What I’m Listening To …
I’ve been enjoying playlists of Christmas music and the kids have especially enjoyed listening to the Kidz Bop Christmas album.
Also, I’m a sucker for Taylor Swift songs so her latest album has been on repeat.
11. What I’m Wearing …
Since we missed the snow earlier this month while we were in Mexico, I finally got to pull out my favorite new cashmere sweater this week. It’s currently on sale at Nordstrom and would make a great last minute gift for a friend or family member.
I love how soft it is and it fits a bit loose which makes it very cozy.
12. What I’m Doing This Weekend …
Well, I’m mostly hoping that we’re all healthy and happy. Foster specifically has been fighting a fever the past few days and I’d love for him to turn the corner asap. If so, my fingers are crossed that we can hang out with some of my favorite ladies (go ZTA) because we have a friends and kids get-together planned. Yay!
13. What I’m Looking Forward To Next Month …
Starting Fresh!
Eating healthy. Sleeping more. Giving myself a bit more “me” time. I’ve worked myself unnecessarily hard in several areas of my life and it I finally admit that’s the case. This coming year I’m making changes that help me better align where I spend my time with where my priorities lie.
14. What Else Is New …
Random, but have you tried out Steel City Pops. Yum! We stopped by the location in Southlake last weekend and I was impressed. 🙂
That’s it for me today! Don’t forget to sign up for the Four Points Mom Weekly Wrap-up Email that shows up in your inbox once a week. This way you’ll be able to quickly review snippets from last week’s posts to see if you missed one.
