Friday Favorites

I'm getting them! Soon. Like very soon. My teeth have shifted over the past 28 years since my braces. Yeah, I'm THAT old! So, all my scans have been done and I'm just waiting. 

I love Goodreads!

 I keep up with the books I read and I love the reading challenge. But... I also like to keep a written list in my planner. Am I the only one who still likes to write stuff down and not keep everything online?

 I'm working on a post with the books I've read so far this year. I'll finish it soon and get it posted. I love book link ups so if y'all know of any please tell me! 

My porch is coming along nicely. I REALLY want a day bed on it but I decided to just replace my cushions on my love seat and chairs this year. I got these at a discount store for CHEAP! I'll show more when I get the rest put together. 

I have to say Lindsey's Sweet World gave me a swift kick in the rear  the motivation to update my blog. I have lots of catching up to do but I'm slowly working on it! She's definitely a favorite!!  

I've never posted about Young Living Essential Oils. I've been using them for a while and I LOVE them. 

As you can see I love pinning different blends! If you have a favorite please let me know. 

Thanks for reading!

What's Up Wednesday

I promise I had all good intentions to blog more this past month but I didn't. I have no excuse. Just call me LAZY!! But, this month I'm gonna catch up. I'm adding the posts to my planner because I LIVE by my Erin Condren planner. 

1. WHAT WE'RE EATING THIS WEEK:

Um. Did I mention LAZY? Well I've been kinda lazy in the cooking department as well. I need to get back on my meal planning. It's been a few crazy weeks with crazy stuff going on.  

This is one of my go to meals. I love stir fry! My original recipe was found on Pinterest and it's by Jo Cooks. The picture is hers as well!  I've added carrots as well as bagged slaw mix (it adds a yummy crunch). I've also gone low carb so I use the frozen cauliflower rice. It's amazing! Thanks Jo for the perfect stir fry recipe! 

2. WHAT I'M REMINISCING ABOUT: 

I said before that I love watching Live PD. Well, I didn't realize my local Sheriff' Department did ride alongs. Y'ALL. I rode with a high school friend who is a deputy. It was on a Friday night and I had the BEST time ever. The deputies do not get enough credit for all the stuff they handle. I decided they are relationship/marriage counselors with guns. I'm ready to ride again! 

3. WHAT I'M LOVING:

SOCCER!!

This image is from Etsy. I probably order a new soccer shirt for this year! 

All 3 boys practice on Monday's for Upward and Jackson usually practices one more day a week with the JV coach for our local high school. I'm the awesome wife who happened to volunteer her husband to coach 2 teams this year. He has Jackson's older team and Miles and Carter's younger team. Let's just say he has his hands full with the 1 -3 graders. Haha!! It's like herding cats!

4. WHAT WE'VE BEEN UP TO:

Just soccer and school and church. 

5.WHAT I'M DREADING:

Need I say more?

6. WHAT I'M WORKING ON:

Updating my blog. I'm gonna do it! 

7. WHAT I'M EXCITED ABOUT:

Bring on all of the SOCCER!

I posted this on Instagram. The twinkies matched for soccer! Haha! They do not dress alike any more so I thought it was kinda funny they didn't mind matching for practice. 

8. WHAT I'M WATCHING/READING:

 I still do not watch much television. I probably should find a series on Netflix to watch. I rather watch Dr. Pimple Popper and the Toe Bro. And I still love watching Live PD. 

I've read several books this month. I'm going to make one long post of all the books I've read so far this year. My favorite one this month had to be:

9. WHAT I'M LISTENING TO:

Amazon Music. Mostly Kidz Bop when the boys are around. And when it's just me I just select one of the playlists. 

10. WHAT I'M WEARING:

Same stuff. 

Leggings and joggers. 

Tunics and tees. 

11. WHAT I'M DOING THIS WEEKEND:

The boys get out of school early Friday so we may do something fun. Who knows yet! 

2 of the boys have hair cuts Saturday morning and that's about all. Sunday is the usual Church and Awana. And I'm going to work on this stinking blog! (I have to keep telling myself that!)

12. WHAT I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO NEXT MONTH:

EASTER! 

13. WHAT ELSE IS NEW:

Nothing that I can remember. I did find several new blogs that I adore reading and I've gotten some good ideas from them! 

BONUS QUESTION:

WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE EASTER SIDE DISH?

We usually do not have a typical Easter dinner but this side (or salad or dessert) is tasty! I can't find the recipe I used but this is the closest one. I didn't use cherries but I did use instant vanilla pudding mixed with the cool whip. Since I had this last I've developed a food allergy (sensitivity) to pineapple! So I may try this with bananas instead of pineapple.
