A Splash of Life: What’s Up Wednesday {June 2022}

1: WHAT WE’RE EATING THIS WEEK:

ooh - take a look at what I we have on the menu for this week - I have my meal planning posts where I link up all the recipes. I post every Thursday, so tomorrow will be a new menu!

2. WHAT I’M REMINISCING ABOUT:

oh - my gosh, I'm going through all my memories on FB right now and snagging photos from our past trips to put on the blog...so I'm seeing such "wittle" versions of all the girls. Ever since they were little, we've gone on road trips or flying.

3: WHAT I’M LOVING:

I am LOVING that Autumn has decided to start her own little business to make some extra cash.

She has started making "beach" bracelets. She has gotten quite an inventory already and is excited to start selling them!

4: WHAT WE’VE BEEN UP TO:

Since the girls finished Winshape camp, they have a few weeks of downtime before we go on our family trip. BUT, I've been taking apart the "extra room" to turn into an actual "den" I guess... it's been an office, a workout room, a play room, a craft room, and now? I'm turning it into a media room. I took the ET center from the living room and set it up in there...just need to find a desk and a couch.

ALTHOUGH... I think I want to paint it! What color should I do? I was thinking a light coastal color...but there's only like A MILLION choices. ugh. lol

Also - the new Liift MORE program is launching soon and the sample workout just dropped! So I tried that the other day, too. I am such a weight lifting person, cardio is not my favorite, but I know I need it, so I do it. lol

If you have Beachbody on Demand, it's right in your homescreen! If you don't have Beachbody on Demand, here's the link to watch it! You can order early access to it, too!

Also, in addition to changing out den and purging kid clothes, we also decided it was time to put the bunk beds back together (FINALLY - because walking into that room was gave me such anxiety with how cramped everything was.) EXCEPT, it wasn't a quick and easy job, oh no. Never is. It took like FIVE HOURS. BUT, look at all that room! And it'll be easier to keep clean, too. I'm pretty gosh darn excited. lol

We're back to beach volleyball for a few more weeks, which means I get to enjoy the beauty of the morning beach!

AND I get to have some good beach reading time! I just finished this book yesterday. Have you read it? What'd you think?

5: WHAT I’M DREADING:

July.... because I'm going back to work this school year, for a local charter school. BUT I have to go to a 2-week training in addition to the 1 week preplanning teachers go to. I don't normally MIND the extra 2 week training...except for trying to find something for the kids during that time. Bleh

BUT July is also my birthday - and for the FIRST time in like 20 years, I might have to work on my birthday!

6: WHAT I’M WORKING ON:

My den - and cleanging/purging all the girls' stuff and purging some of my closet too!

I'm also trying to get back into blogging - here and my teacher blog.

I started both of these blogs back in 2011ish. I started because it was FUN.

Then it became "work" and not so fun anymore. But I want to get back into both of them... and just have it be fun!

7: WHAT I’M EXCITED ABOUT:

Our Family trip coming up in July! The girls and I take small trips here and there, but we only take 1 or 2 big trips a year with Ron, because of his work schedule. AND we get to take the dog :)

But also - going back to work in July. I know I said I was dreading July because of work, but I'm also really excited about starting up with my new school!

8: WHAT I’M WATCHING/READING:

I just posted my June Book Review! I got in some great books last month!

9: WHAT I’M LISTENING TO:

Currently? The cicadas. ha! There is no one awake, since I wake up so early, so I just get to enjoy the sounds of nature.

10: WHAT I’M WEARING:

LOTS of workout clothes lol

It's the Spring Bud pocket light n tights, and the pink copper charge tank. I just keep looking at thinking how happy it makes me. lol. They're ZYIA - light n tights are their MAIN attraction!

Check them out HERE.

Tank tops and shorts

This tank is SO good! It's so lightweight and flowy. It's on sale too.

And these summer shorts are my GO-TO shorts - I will buy ALL the colors. And wear them ALL the days...spring, summer, fall, and even some winter days, because...you know...Florida. lol

AND dresses!

This sleeveless swing dress is probably one of my new favorite dresses! I also got it in black. It's on sale right now too!

Oh, and if I'm hiding out inside because it's too dang hot out, but I'm not ready for PJs yet... I"m wearing some comfy joggers and relaxed shirt.

I wore the code joggers and classic V for the rest of the day, SO DANG. COMFY.

11: WHAT I’M DOING THIS WEEKEND:

This weekend, we're actually free! Except we'll be getting the house ready for 4th of July dinner with my family. So, we'll be cleaning up the backyard, around the house, decorating and such.

I got the girls THESE SHIRTS from Kohls. They still really love "flippy" shirts. And they don't really wear tank tops, although they look SO CUTE in them. I wish they would.
