Happy Wednesday! It has been two months since my last What’s Up Wednesday and we’ve been up to a lot, so I thought I’d join in today! Let’s get to it!
WHAT WE’RE EATING THIS WEEK…

WHAT I’M LOVING…
Beach time! Family time!

Reading!

Birthday celebrations!




WHAT WE’VE BEEN UP TO…
We had a great weekend at the beach! It was windy but I could feel the stress and clenched muscles disappear with each wave crashing. We had a great family weekend with lots of together time and laughs.






Luke’s playing soccer at school. He has practice almost every day and has his third game today. He’s doing a great job and it is fun to watch him play!
Jack’s been playing as much golf as he can. Even though golf is a spring sport, his coach has started organizing some practices for the team.
I got my mammogram last week. Don’t forget to get your annual mammogram!

WHAT I’M DREADING…
I don’t think I am dreading anything right now. Hooray!
WHAT I’M WORKING ON…
I am setting some goals for the last 100 days of the year. My friend Kerry is a Gretchen Rubin fan and shared that Gretchen suggested using the 100 days marker as a time to think about how you want to spend the rest of the year. I haven’t quite figured out what my specific goals are, but the first one involves more water and less soda.
Jack is a junior so I am working on scheduling a few college tours. I cannot believe we are at this point!
WHAT I’M EXCITED ABOUT…
I bought the Little Debbie Christmas Tree inflatable on Friday afternoon. It more than doubled in price by Sunday afternoon. I think I am going to put it in our library for a little while and then bring it home to enjoy at home. My friend Amy and I love these cakes!
WHAT I’M WATCHING/READING…
I’ll share my official September reading update on Tuesday, but I read some great books in September.
I have a few nonfiction books checked out and on hold from the library. I tend to stick to fiction, but these sounded good and useful to me.
WHAT I’M LISTENING TO…
I’ve been tuning into The Lazy Genius podcast, The Girl Next Door podcast, Sunday Sitdown with Willie Geist podcast, and Wiser Than Me podcast on my drives this month. I listened to the Zac Brown episode of Open Book with Jenna and it was good so I think I’ll add that podcast to my usuals.
I’ve been listening to music at work on Mondays and Wednesdays since I have more administrative time. I have been mixing the Wheeland Brothers, Iam Tongi, Jimmy Buffett, and Zac Brown together for a calm but fun playlist.
WHAT I’M WEARING…
Well I haven’t worn it all yet, but my Lilly sale purchases are rolling in and I did well!






I am trying to wear sandals but my feet are not happy with sandals all week. I wore my Vionic sneakers last week and they felt great.

I am wearing a lot of dresses and skorts to work.









WHAT I’M DOING THIS WEEKEND…
I am not sure. If it is cloudy, I might start working on clearing out our basement. If it is sunny, I am going to find something to do outside.
We are moving a TV up to the family room so that the appropriate amount of Ryder Cup golf and NCAA and NFL football can be watched.
WHAT I’M LOOKING FORWARD TO NEXT MONTH…
Celebrating Jeff’s birthday, homecoming for the boys, cleaning out the basement and garage (maybe), outside walks most days, the corn field getting harvested behind our house, and reading time.
This was fun! I hope you have a great day full of sunshine and books!



Good luck with the college visits! It’s an exciting time but all the colleges do make it so hard to pick just one or two as they all sound filled with so much promise. I bet the kids at school will your Little Debbie Inflatable.
Good luck with the college visits- have fun and enjoy- such an exciting time! Lovin’ all your Lilly!! Good luck with the basement too
It looks like you have been enjoying life and what a great trip to the beach.
Good luck with your goals and the college tours.
I love all of your outfits and enjoy the TV.
Your Lilly outfits are great!! Can’t wait for your reading round up 🙂
Glad that your boys are thriving in their school and sports.
