Today I’m linking up with my girls Shay and Sheaffer for another round of “What’s Up Wednesday”! These sweet gals started WUW, a little link up party where we all share what’s going on in our crazy lives right now. We talk about food, family, what we’re wearing, what we’re doing, what we’re watching and a little bit of everything else all in one post! Let’s dive in!!
WHAT WE’RE EATING THIS WEEK: Lots of yummy things! As we adjust to life with another kid and a new business, I’ve been all about easy well-rounded meals! Recipes for all of these can all be found on my Instagram account!
- Turkey Bacon Arugula Sandwiches
- Korean Beef Bowls
- Grilled Salmon Bowls
- Three Ingredient Fried Rice
WHAT I’M REMINISCING ABOUT: We took our kids to “Disney On Ice: Find Your Hero” last weekend and Bryn LOVED it!! I grew up going to Disney On Ice shows so it was really special for me to finally be able to take my daughter to one. Such a great experience!
WHAT I’M LOVING: Watching my daughter become a big sister and truly enjoy having her little brother around. Honestly, it took a bit to get to this point, but now she’s obsessed with him and absolutely adores him!
WHAT WE’VE BEEN UP TO: We celebrated Valentine’s Day and kept it pretty low key this year. I felt like this was the first time my two year old kind of understood and knew what the day meant.
WHAT I’M DREADING: Kind of hoping we don’t have any more crazy Texas ice storms! We had one a few weeks ago, which marks the third one we’ve had since we moved here. They are so crazy and literally shut everything down! During the really bad freeze of 2021, our house flooded and my husband got in a car accident so I feel a little bit of PTSD whenever one of these storms pop up.
WHAT I’M WORKING ON: Keeping my tiny humans alive and keeping our house afloat haha! Just kidding, but kind of serious. Adjusting to life as a mom of two has been more difficult than I anticipated! I’ve come to learn that some days we’re in survival mode and that’s ok for now. We’ll find a routine and a groove soon enough. So if anyone else is going through a hard season…I see you and hang in there!
WHAT I’M EXCITED ABOUT: My baby sis is having her first baby this summer! And I get to plan her baby shower coming up soon!
WHAT I’M WATCHING/READING: I gave up on watching The Bachelor/Bachelorette awhile ago, but somehow I found myself watching this season haha. Also, a lot of my shows have a new season starting soon so I’ll definitely be watching those!
- “Outer Banks”
- “Sanditon”
- “Shadow and Bone”
WHAT I’M LISTENING TO: I’m listening to a book that someone recommended called “Never Date Your Brother’s Best Friend” by Jules Barnard. It’s pretty good so far! I’m also looking for good podcasts so if y’all have any that you love, send them my way!
WHAT I’M WEARING: I’m finally able to wear my jeans again and I’m loving it! I ordered some from Talulah and I always love Old Navy Jeans! I’m also all about comfy casual outfits like these lately.
WHAT I’M DOING THIS WEEKEND: Laying low and catching up on all the things around the house. I know, so fun haha.
WHAT I’M LOOKING FORWARD TO NEXT MONTH: My family and Shawn’s family are coming out for Boston’s baby blessing. Shawn and I are also going to the Rodeo Finals! Lots of fun things happening!
FAVORITE AMAZON PURCHASE THIS MONTH: These super cute affordable mini cookie cutters! I’ve been using them to add some fun to Bryn’s food in hopes of getting her to eat better. I definitely feel like it’s been helping!
WHAT ELSE IS NEW: Not much!

I think the sibling relationship is so special and it was honestly one of my favourite things about having a second child — watching that relationship grow.
