What’s Up Wednesday {January 2018}

I’m linking up with Mel, Shay and Sheaffer for some random monthly fun.

What we’re eating this week…

Monday: Zucchini poppers, pasta and sauce Tuesday: We had friends over for Tu Bishvat sederWednesday: Sweet potato pad thai Thursday: Leftovers/Pizza

Friday: Out – Shabbat Club

What I’m reminiscing about…

What I’m loving…

My TuBishvat centerpiece! It was so simple and so much fun to put together.

 What we’ve been up to…

Trusting a sitter to watch our kids is very hard for me. However hubby and I need to get out and have some adult conversations every so often. So when our sitter started a new job she was no longer available. After searching for a few months I am happy to report that we found a babysitter! It was a long process, but she’s watched the kids once this past month and all went well. Can’t wait to plan more outings with hubby. What I’m dreading…

Potty training Jacob. He will be 3 in April and it’s kinda sorta time, but ugh! I really don’t like this part of parenting.

See my potty training system here.

What I’m working on…

Cleaning out every corner and every hole! I’m going through a major haul over here. I have the women’s shelter pick up my big loads, but have recently heard about Give Back Box. You request a label on their site and then print it at home. See more here.

What I’m excited about…

Visiting my friend Melissa next month! She’s celebrating her 40th so we are all flying in for the celebration. What I’m watching/reading…

Housewives of NY, Fixer Upper, SHark Tank, This is Us anddddd Vanderpump Rules! Can.get.enough!!What I’m listening to…

Never Be The Same by Camila Cabello

What I’m wearing…

The weather is so flippy floppy that one day I’m wearing scarves and boots and the next day I’m wishing my legs were shaved so I can wear shorts. Oh So Cal!

What I’m doing this weekend…

We have a birthday party to attend and going to our friends house for Superbowl. What I’m looking forward to next month…

Celebrating Valentine’s Day and Purim. We still don’t have our costume, but we are looking at options. This is what we did the last few years.

Incredibles in 2017Superheroes in 2016American Indians in 2015Minions and Gru in 2014What else is new…

I’m proud to say that I completed my 2nd round of Whole 30 a few days ago. It was hard, but I did it! Here are some of my favorite recipes. Question of the month is: What’s your favorite soup recipe?

My crock pot chicken noodle soup! Yum! Recipe can be found here. Happy Wednesday!
