What I’m reminiscing about:Eric and I have been reminiscing a lot lately about when we first started dating. (A blurry but favorite picture). 🙂 We talk about how much we loved our trip to Italy almost weekly and reminisce about it. (Capri, Tuscany, Florence). I also bring up sunshine and summertime pretty often. It feels like we have been reminiscing a lot lately and it is so fun to look back and see where we are now. 

What I’m loving:All the Shady Oak Farm things that I talked about here and here!

What we’ve been up to:

Life has been BUSY! Report cards are due. We’re setting up the nursery. I have conferences at school next week. We’ve both randomly have had a lot of work commitments all at once. Baby appointments are more frequent. It has been busy and wonderful all in one and I know that a slower, season right before the baby comes, is right around the corner. So thankful.

What I’m dreading:

 Having to buy more maternity clothes. Ugh.

What I’m working on:

Working on a list of freezer meals (any tips?!) and report cards. And no, they don’t go hand in hand. 😉My Game Day Chili is already on the list of freezer meals!

What I’m excited about:Eric and I have a few things planned over the next month or so. One of those things is a couples massage. Eric was really skeptical the first time we went and he ended up LOVING it. It is such a nice way to unwind. Excited is an understatement!

What I’m watching/reading:

We have really tried to take a break from watching T.V. lately. Between Hallmark Christmas movies (which I love and always have playing during that season) and just the winter blues, I feel like it has been on a lot. We have tried to be a lot more intentionally about keeping it off and honestly, it’s been so nice. We did watch the movie, Wonder the other week and loved it!

Our friends gave us the book, Baby Wise to read. They loved it and I can see why. Eric and I are both reading it. We’re only about halfway through but it has been SO insightful!

What I’m listening to:

Podcasts and Lauren Daigle Pandora. 🙂  

What I’m wearing:

Majority of the time lately you can find me in sweatpants. ha! But when it randomly reached almost 80 degrees last week (PRAISE JESUS!) you better believe I grabbed this dress and wore it! I think it’s more comfortable now than ever before!

What I’m doing this weekend:

We set time aside for a lot of R & R this weekend. 🙂 

What I’m looking forward to next month:

Warmer weather? Fingers crossed!

What else is new:Baby Spring is still growing and moving around like crazy! But what is new is…I’m in the third trimester already! I love her so much already. 🙂

Have the best Wednesday!
