What’s Up Wednesday – 2/23/22

Happy Wednesday! It’s the last Wednesday of the month so I am linking up with Sheaffer and Shay to share what we’ve been up to. Let’s get to it!

WHAT WE’RE EATING THIS WEEK…

I am usually pretty good at planning our dinners for the week. If I don’t have dinner assigned to each day, I at least know what we are going to eat through the week. I am working on planning out my breakfasts and lunches for the week, too.

WHAT I’M LOVING…

The Olympics!!! I loved every single second of the Olympics and I watched as much as I possibly could. I watched during planning at school, in the afternoons, and during prime time. I stayed up WAY TOO LATE for two and a half weeks. I am so so sad they are over, but I need to get back to my regular sleep hours. The Paris countdown is on! Only 884 days!

WHAT WE’VE BEEN UP TO…

The boys have been playing a lot of basketball! They usually have 3-4 practices and 3-4 games each week. I love watching them play, so it’s a good thing!

I had a bunch of friends over to set our goals for the year. I love this tradition and can’t wait to see what everyone accomplishes this year!

WHAT I’M DREADING…

The return of chilly weather. We had an amazingly beautiful day on Monday – sunny and 60s – and now I think it should be like that until summer. However, I know the cold will be back for a while

WHAT I’M WORKING ON…

I am still working on that class that I’ve talked about every month since October… But this will be the last month. I need to finish it!

WHAT I’M EXCITED ABOUT…

Luke is on a Lego League robotics team this year. They’ve been working hard all year and they made it to the state competition! They’ll compete next month. He’s so excited!

I’ve been spending some extra one on one time with Jack at home this month and it’s so fun! He loves to play games so we’ve been playing games. We watched Cool Runnings last night and laughed a bunch!

WHAT I’M WATCHING/READING…

I watched everything Olympics for most of February. We did watch some golf on Sundays. We’ve watched a couple episodes of Home Course with PGA Memes on YouTube. It’s like MTV Cribs, but golfer’s houses. The houses are pretty cool!

This has been a really slow reading month for me. I am keeping track of what I’ve read on my Books 2022 page. I recently listened to The Day the World Came to Town and loved it if you are looking for something uplifting!

WHAT I’M LISTENING TO…

I’ve been listening to my regular podcasts – The Mom Hour, The Girl Next Door, The Lazy Genius, What Should I Read Next – and I am starting Atomic Habits. I started reading Atomic Habits last year, but I am excited to listen to it.

WHAT I’M WEARING…

February was dominated by two things – hearts and olympics.

My mom gave me a subscription to YogaClub and I’ve been really pleased with the leggings and bras that have come with it. I’ve exchanged the tops that they sent, but am pleased with the exchanges.

WHAT I’M DOING THIS WEEKEND…

The kids have basketball both days. I am heading to IKEA with some friends. I am mostly looking around and keeping them company, but I never know what I’ll find in Ikea.

WHAT I’M LOOKING FORWARD TO NEXT MONTH…

I am going to two in person author events! We are hosting one at school and I’m going to one at our library. Woohoo!

After seeing Tanya’s latest project, I ordered an embroidery kit and can’t wait for it to arrive. I’m not very good at sitting and watching tv. I am hoping this will be something I can do when we are all watching tv together in the evening. We’ll see.

WHAT ELSE IS NEW…

I am back to morning workouts! Our afternoons are getting busier and I am not consistently getting a workout done. I am mixing in some running so I can achieve my Declare It Day goal of running a 10k. So this is my new routine.

That’s always so fun to look back at our month and see what is coming up. I can’t wait to see what everyone else has been up to. I’ll be back tomorrow for Monthly Musings and we’re talking about our wardrobes. Have a great day full of sunshine and books!

    Your outfits are perfect. So festive! I love IKEA. We have one about 1.5 hours away. I wish it was closer. Your workout plan is 💯. I need to start getting up in the mornings to get my workouts in. I’m getting up two mornings this week to ease back into those extra early alarms

    I don’t think I saw a minute of the Olympics this go round and I’m kind of bummed by that! We just could not find a good way to stream it; especially with the time difference. We’ve been enjoying this warm weather teasing too!

    I love all your festive outfits. And if you ever have a chance to see Come From Away (the musical) you should see it. It’s based on “When the World Came To Town” and is AMAZING!
