December 2017

whatsupwed1WUWquestions editIt feels like I just wrote a post for December 2016. This year has flown by more than any other! But man, oh man has it provided a lot of changes that I have loved! God is so good. 

What we’re eating this week:We’re eating my Homemade Granola for breakfast and snacks this week. My chili is also on the menu this week. 🙂

What I’m reminiscing about:We’re planning another trip and it has the travel bug is hitting me hard!

What I’m loving:

Christmas right around the corner and a few days off work to relax! 🙂 I know I posted this last year but it applies. 😉 

What we’ve been up to:

We find out if Baby Spring a boy or girl on Tuesday! We are so, so antsy! Votes anyone? 😉

                                                                       

What I’m dreading:

Nothing. 

What I’m working on:

Wrapping Christmas gifts! I’ve had most gifts since summer but waited extra long to wrap them this year. I love this wrapping paper and tying it with this twine and gift tag!

What I’m excited about:Baby Spring is obviously on the forefront of my mind and I’m so thankful and excited!

What I’m watching/reading:

If you don’t own any of these, you should. Click on the image to purchase them. 🙂

I’ve been reading the book Mama Natural and loving it!

What I’m listening to:

Obviously a modge-podge of music but Christmas has trumped it all…especially with the N*Sync throwback. 🙂 

What I’m wearing: Both of these sweaters I plan on wearing when I’m not pregnant. They are extremely comfortable! You can find the black one here and the grey one here!

What I’m doing this weekend:

CHRISTMAS EVERYTHING!

What I’m looking forward to next month:A possible snow day and the coziness of it all. As long as I can sit inside and watch it, I’m good to go! 🙂

What else is new:

Just trying to soak up the holiday season as much as possible!

But in all honesty, the sugar intake has been a little higher than normal lately over here. That being said, a clean and healthy salad is exactly what I’ve been needing. Plus, the flavors make for an ideal side at any Holiday party. Did I mention that is take about five minutes to prepare? 🙂

2/3 cup sliced almonds

Dressing:

1 tsp EVOO

1 tsp Balsamic Vinegar

S & P to taste

What to do:

Place spinach in a medium sized bowl. Top with pear, feta, and slivered almonds. In a mason jar, create dressing and shake well. Pour dressing over salad and serve immediately. Enjoy! 🙂

*Serves two.*
