What's Up Wednesday - April

I am joining a link party again for What's Up Wednesday!

Here we go...

1. What we're eating this week

Hello Fresh #ftw

2. What I'm reminiscing about

My babies! I have been working on their yearly photo books and going through all the pictures makes me realize how big they are getting! 

They love reading their yearly books (almost every night!) So I really need to catch up!

3. What I'm loving

I am loving the new Brightening Spa set from Beauty Counter. I was already obsessed with their charcoal mask and now I am obsessed with the brightening mask too. I have been mixing the oil with my moisturizer and my skin feels so hydrated! The mist is a must have - refreshing and gives your skin a dewey glow. Can you tell I am obsessed?

4. What we've been up to

Baseball & Soccer

Enjoying the weather

Hanging with friends and family!

5. What I'm dreading

Going to the DPS. 

I haven't seen my drivers license since I returned from Charleston...Obviously I had it in the airport but it has since disappeared. I tried to replace it online but apparently I have to go in person. Wonderful. Although, I am kinda excited to try out the new 'virtual' line that they offer.  

6. What I'm working on

Nothing major at the moment although I have my hands in a few different projects. We are also gearing up for VBS. I wasn't sure if I wanted to commit to another year of decorations BUT since the theme is Gadgets and Gizmo's I decided to go for it.  

7. What I'm excited about

Patio Lights! I have been wanting to put up Patio Lights in our courtyard for a few years now, and this is finally the year! lol. I can't wait :)

8. What I'm watching/reading

I just put the kiddos to bed so I am about to read though this and plan my attack for Friday night! lol

9. What I'm listening to

Red Hot Chili peppers, Pearl Jam,  and Aerosmith.  Just a little 90s throwback lately...

It started because Hayden's favorite color is Pink. Naturally it makes me bust into the song Pink by Aerosmith. Now if you know me, you know that I don't actually know they correct lyrics but I sing it loud anyways. It wasn't until I heard Grayson singing my version of the song that I decided....hey maybe we should listen to the real thing. And then that spurred an entire trip down to the 90s.

10. What I'm wearing

I am loving these Stella & Dot Gita Tassel Earrings

Every time I wear them I get tons of compliments - they are so cute!

And I have become a Lipsense junkie. lol. In all fairness, two of my best friends sell this stuff so I am just a supportive friend :)

My absolute favorite is Pink Champagne and I wear it everyday! I  just bought Sassy Z and am planning to wear Kiss for a Cause to my Derby Party on Friday. Who knew lipstick could be so fun?

11. What I'm doing this weekend

Stonewall Jackson Elementary Auction Party - Race for the Stars!

& recovering :) lol

What I'm looking forward to next month

So many fun things coming up!

Cinco De Mayo

Rose Tasting

Mother's Day

9 year anniversary

Memorial Day

Bonus: what is your favorite spring/summer shoe

The shoe that I wear most is flip flops. And I am trying to branch out...but they are just so comfy!

I have a love/hate relationship with Havaianas. I love love love them because they are so comfy. BUT OMG I hate them because they break...all the time! I typically have to replace them every 3-4 months. The absolute worst is when you are out and about and they break - then you have a flop that doesn't flip. Ugh. But I still love them. See my problem?

Stella and Dot

My friend, Terra Botterman, is selling Stella & Dot and I am hosting a trunk show at my house tomorrow night. I am super excited to see all the fun jewelry again! When Terra had her launch party it was so much fun checking out all the fun stuff. I had been to one Stella & Dot party before but I didn't remember seeing a ton of things I loved - now I am hooked!
I have never really been a jewelry person. I want to be a jewelry person - I always think someone looks so put together when they are all accessorized, but I just never seem to buy the right pieces. Terra helped me pick out a few staples and I have been wearing the heck out of them - they go with so many different outfits PLUS I often get compliments! If you, like me, feel a little overwhelmed when it comes to picking out jewelry, you can't go wrong with any of the pieces below:

Signature Clover Necklace

Deco Drop earrings

These have been my "go to" wedding attire earrings. They are the perfect sparkle for dressy events without going overboard.  

Heiress Hoops

These are super fun because you can wear them as just plain gold hoops or you can wear them with a little bling showing. 

Bardot Hoop Earrings

These are my favorite by far! They are simple and casual but add some pizzaz to an everyday outfit. They also come in silver and I am adding them to my wish list!

Tomorrow night I have my eye on bracelets! I love the whole stacking trend and can't wait to get a few! Check these out:

This is the Pyramid Double Wrap, the Bardot Spiral Bangle, and the Renegade Cluster Bracelet - LOVE!

I hope to see everyone tomorrow but if you can't make it you should check out the website and I can have Terra place your order! Just let me know!
