What's Up Wednesday

Linking up with Mel @ The Larson Lingo for What's Up Wednesday & Andrea for TBB Fall Fashion Frenzy!


What I'm eating this week...
I'm finishing up my remaining Burrito Pie Casserole leftovers as well as cooking up some meals from Home Chef.  I don't regularly subscribe to any meal subscription boxes, but when I see a good deal I try them out.  If you click the link above we will each get $30 credit.  Getting 3 meals for 2 people is normally $60, which is the option I chose.  I live alone so 6 meals for $25 was a great deal to me.  I did the same thing with Hello Fresh back in March.  The 3 Home Chef Meals I chose were:

-Pork Chops w/Pine Nut & Parmesan Butter w/Garlic Swiss Chard
-Barbacoa Steak Tacos w/Queso Fresco & Pickled Vegetables
-One Sheet Pretzel Crusted Chicken w/Roasted Broccoli & Honey Mustard


What I'm reminiscing about...
The freedom of summer.  The kids have been back for 6 weeks, I've been back since the end of July, & I'm still not completely over the loss of my freedom.

What I'm loving...
That highs are no longer in the 90s or above on a regular basis.

What I've been up to...
September could pretty much be summed up as: at work, with Nash, or with The Boyfriend.

What I'm dreading...
I honestly can't think of anything.  This month, which has been less than stellar, is almost over, birthday month is coming, then it's short work months because of Thanksgiving & Christmas which also mean family.

What I'm working on...
I am forever lesson planning & grading.

What I'm excited about...
Two weekends away in October.  One to a fancy resort & one to a cabin for my birthday!

What I'm watching/reading...
I'm binge watching Heartland on Netflix.

What I'm listening to...
Spotify always

What I'm wearing...
Fall means plain/flannel & I am all about that!


More flannel/plaid inspiration:

What I'm doing this weekend...
I'm not doing a whole lot.  I'm hoping to go to a pumpkin patch on Sunday but that's about it.

What I'm looking forward to next month...
My birthday month!!

I'll be turning 30 at the end of next month & because it's a milestone birthday a few of my friends are coming along to help me celebrate.  Rather than do something really big, I oped to do a weekend at a cabin in Arkansas.  Paperless Post has some really cute invitations for just the occasion!


They have really fun invitations for all types of events as well as cards to send to your loved ones!

What else is new...
For those of you who have missed the very casual mention in my posts recently, I started seeing a guy at the beginning of this month.  AKA The Boyfriend, who someday may or may not get a more creative nickname for the blog.

How Do You Cozy - Still Weekending

Happy Labor Day everyone!  I'm still off of work until Wednesday, today for Labor Day & tomorrow for an appointment.  Since my friend is still in town until later this morning I'll recap my weekend tomorrow.  Until then I'm linking up with Andrea for The Blended Blog Asks: How Do You Cozy edition!


1. Slippers: Yes or No?
Nope.  I own a couple pairs actually but I never wear them.

2. What is your favorite blanket?
I love fleece blankets.  I have a gray one at my place that I'm obsessed with & my parents have a heavier brown one that I pretty much live under whenever I visit Minnesota.

3. Thin or Thick pillow?
I used to always think thick, and slept with 2, but then over the summer while I was at my parents' I realized that I was waking up with headaches because I had too many thick pillows & my neck was all weird at night.  So now, thinner & no headaches.

4. Favorite warm beverage?
Hot chocolate... with marshmallows!

5. Robe: Yes or No?
Nope

6. Favorite comfort snack food?
Chips & dip

7. Movies or TV series binge?
TV series... currently Heartland

8. Actual PJs or Leggings?
Neither?  Tshirt & usually some type of bottoms

9. Do you cozy up on the couch or a chair?
Couch for sure

10. Hoodie, T-shirt, or Sweater?
Give me all the hoodies!

A new month & a new season are upon us.  And even though fall doesn't technically start until the 22, I'm OCD & like my things to start on the 1st.  Later this week I'll recap how my summer goals went, not well, but today I'm sharing what my goals are for fall.

1. Have 4300 followers on Instagram
2. Blog 50 times
3. Write a letter to 20 & 40 year old me
4. Go to 10 new bars/restaurants
5. Do 5 Dallas Bucket List items
6. Make 10 Pinterest food recipes
7. Celebrate 30th birthday
8. Have a treat yoself day
9. Finish 10 101 in 1001 items
10. Have September lesson plans done by 9/7, October by 10/5, & November by 11/9 (I got this idea from Lauren @ All About That Mommy Life)

P.S. Sarah @ Meet the Shaneyfelts & her husband are selling cute t-shirts to help raise money for their adoption process.  Check them out!
