Food, family, and fitness... all with a bit of style.

What's Up Wednesday April 2024

  Hi friends! It's the last Wednesday of the month and I am linking up with Shay and Sheaffer for a little What's Up Wednesday. I fun post sharing a little food, a little what we're wearing, a little what we're doing, a little what we're watching and a little bit of everything all in one post!





What We're Eating This Week

We tried something new this week. My girlfriend and her family just got back from Italy and she was raving about this sliced pork sandwich with fresh mozzarella and pesto. It sounded amazing, so I gave it a shot and OMG- a winner.  I will get the details written up to a post soon!


Last week we had these Chicken Enchiladas and they were a hit. And a win for me, because the recipe makes two pans. So now I have dinner in the freezer for some night in May when all the end of year school things are happening! You can grab the recipe here. 


Monday I shared the details on these Hot Honey Salmon Bites. My family loves salmon, so I am always looking for ways to switch it up. This dinner is on the table in just about 20 minutes, can't beat that!



This is the rest of our week's menu. 




What I'm Reminiscing About

 Having little kids. My kids are at a super cool age right now. I love watching them grow into these amazing humans and am so proud of them. But then these pictures pop up in my memories and I'm like...gosh wasn't that just yesterday? 




What I'm Loving

So I had a pinched nerve in my neck that had me on the injured reserve list from some of my favorite forms of exercise. I could not lift weights or take spin class for about 2 months! I finally got cleared by my doctor and am so glad to be back to my happy place!





What We've Been Up To

The Spring Sports are in full swing! So this is my typical after work or weekend look. We are usually driving someone to a practice, game, tournament or track meet! 



Love watching our crew do their thing!


Although the snow at the track meet on Saturday left a little to be desired for. I mean it was April 20th.... are we not done with snow yet???


There's my girl. Shorts, tank top and snow flakes.......



What I'm Dreading

I don't know if I would say dreading, but May is my month of taking care of some health issues. I mentioned last month that I am starting a pretty aggressive treatment to remove some sun damage spots from my face that my dermatologist didn't like the looks of. And then I have a colonoscopy scheduled. So there's that. My message to you is to take care of yourself, wear sunscreen and get those preventative screenings. Whether a skin check, a mammogram, colonoscopy or just basic bloodwork, some of those simple tests can save your life. 

 

What I'm Excited About

                Warmer weather and sunshine. I know it's coming. I just know it!



What I'm Watching/Reading

I read this book last month in like 2 days- it was so good!!  



So we started to watch the series. I am 2 episodes in and I haven't decided if I like it yet. I had different ideas for the characters in my head that are not matching the actors cast in the series,  so I struggle with that. Anyone else have this issue when you read a book and then the actors don't line up with your vision in the movie or series???

I highly recommend the book, but I am undecided on the series. 


What I'm Listening To

Well, we went to the Luke Combs concert on Friday night and I can't stop listening. He is a truly amazing artist and he sings so effortlessly. 


I shared the details on these jeans last week in a fun denim post. They are super high waisted and oh so flattering. They make your legs look very long and lean!



Nevermind the fact that it was super cold and an outdoor concert in Buffalo in April. 


What I'm Wearing

   I have shared these loafers before, but always get comments on them on Instagram. They are so great for Spring, comfy and work with so many outfits! You can grab them here. This sleeveless cardigan sweater is also great this time of year. It's cute with a tee and denim or you can dress it up like I did here for work. 


This little bomber jacket is so good!!!! I got it in cream and blush, but it comes in about 8 colors. You can dress it up or down and it is the perfect weight for Spring. 



I am wearing lots of denim!!! I ventured out from my trusty skinny jeans and got some great new styles for Spring & Summer. I did a full denim roundup with all the links here. 



What I'm Doing this Weekend

This weekend we just have a track meet for Ella and for that I am thankful! This Spring has been a whirlwind with both work and school and I am ready to just chill a little this weekend. Paul on the other hand has a full weekend. He is heading down to Florida to help his parents finish packing, help with the movers and then the 3 of them are road tripping back up to NY. 

 

What I'm Looking forward to Next Month

So many exciting things! We are doing a Derby Bar Crawl in our town on May 4th, which is also Paul's birthday! We did one around Christmas and it was so much fun. We have ordered our fascinators and are ready to go! We have some fun stuff with the kids at school and with sports as they begin to wind down the school year. And we are ending the month with a weekend getaway to see some our favorites in concert!


And that my friends is What's Up with us. I hope you all have a great day.

I'll see you back here on Friday for Friday Favorites. 

There is always room for one more at our family table.

xoxo
