What's Up Wednesday: October 2025

 Happy Wednesday! It's the last Wednesday of the month, so that means it's time for What's Up Wednesday!!

1: WHAT WE'RE EATING THIS WEEK

Chipotle pumpkin pasta (for my lunches!)

Brussels sprouts (again, for my lunches! I used this recipe, but I used maple syrup instead of honey!)

Redfish tacos

Grilled cheese and autumn squash soup

Frozen pizza from Aldi

2: WHAT I'M REMINISCING ABOUT

If you read my Hello Monday post, then you know....

The Eras Tour was one year ago on Monday, and I've been all in my feels about it 😂. HOW was it a year ago already???

3: WHAT I'M LOVING

Cooler weather! Yay!

4: WHAT WE'VE BEEN UP TO

Same old, same old. Work, school, repeat.

We HAVE to clean out our extra bedroom/office before my family comes for Thanksgiving. I lovingly call it the junk room now. It's that bad. Ugh.

6: WHAT I'M WORKING ON

Working on getting together blog posts for the rest of the week...

7: WHAT I'M EXCITED ABOUT

Thanksgiving, Christmas decor, Starbucks Christmas cups, holiday movies, holiday foods, all things holiday!! I am SO excited!

8: WHAT I'M WATCHING/READING

Goodness, not reading much lately. I need to get back to it, but I literally do not have time during the week and weekends make me so lazy I never want to do anything!

We are rewatching Friends for the billionth time, though.

9: WHAT I'M LISTENING TO

I think you all know...

I am seriously obsessed. 

Also Man's Best Friend. Obsessed with it, too!

10: WHAT I'M WEARING

Well, this week is Red Ribbon Week and we had dress up days every day! Today is PJ day, so YAY for that!! Monday was a color run to get the week started, yesterday was red day, tomorrow is Mass so we are in "Sunday best", Friday we are wearing Halloween costumes!

Here's my red day!

11: WHAT I'M DOING THIS WEEKEND

Probably cleaning out that "junk room". Maaaybe putting out Christmas decor😉

12: WHAT I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO NEXT MONTH

Thanksgiving!!! My family will be coming in to town, so that's exciting! Plus, hopefully this cool weather we have been having will stick around!

13: FAVORITE PURCHASE THIS MONTH

Hands down, my fancy laundry detergent! It smells soooo good!

Have a great day!!

Friday Favorites {12.20.24}

 Happy Friday, friends!! And Merry Christmas Eve Eve Eve Eve Eve- that's a thing, right??😂 I'm linking up with Erika and Andrea today to share some faves from the week, and then I will be off for the holidays! My plan is to see y'all back here on January 13! For some food faves.... I grabbed the raspberry kringle at Aldi the other day after seeing so many positive reviews on it. It is really good!! I had some with a cup of coffee a couple times this week! Last night, Caleb made lasagna soup- YUM. Definitely a favorite of mine lately! A great way to end the night.... Caleb made me a cosmopolitan the other night. Yum! I am really going to miss this sight.... This is my favorite time of year for sure! Twinkly lights and candle light = the BEST. On my drive home from work yesterday.... This was a fun little surprise. I don't remember this from last year! I hope you all have a great weekend and a very Merry Christmas and a Happy Holiday! However, whatever, whenever, whereve...

Friday Favorites {6.6.25}

 Happy Friday, friends!! How was your week? One of my summer classes started this week, so I have been getting back into a bit of a routine which is nice! As always, I am linking up with Erika and Andrea to share some faves from the week.  How cute is our new wreath sash?? My mom got it for us, and I am obsessed! Lots of food faves this week.... Another salsa I am now obsessed with! I found this at Aldi, and y'all it is SO good! I used it in a recipe, but I am definitely going to get another jar to eat for a snack or with lunch or dinner! Now for a Tik Tok "recipe". I used quotations, because it's really just a chop/open a can and throw together situation. Corn, black beans, pinto beans, onion, tomato, cilantro. I ate it with tortilla chips for lunch this week. It was so good! Next time, I would add more tomato and use less onion (maybe even no onion at all), and I should have chopped up the cilantro a little better! I also squeezed in some lime juice and added salt a...

 Happy last Friday of August! As always, I am here to link up with Erika and Andrea to share some faves from my week.  To be honest, it feels out of touch to make this post. After the devastating news of yet another school shooting, my heart is so heavy. Innocent lives taken and still no changes from people in power. I honestly do not know how anyone can see news like this and not be enraged and demanding for change. I do not get political on here, because that is not what I want for this space. However, I feel the need to share my thoughts about this. America needs gun control. ALL Americans need access to healthcare, especially when it comes to mental health. America needs change. Remember these things when you vote. Think about your babies, their friends, their teachers. Stay aware, stay educated. But also please make sure you spend time doing things that bring you joy (it's good for your mental health!). That is at least what I am going to do. With that being said, here ar...
