The first What's Up Wednesday of 2021 is here!! For fun, I went back to look at my January 2020 post. I was planning trips for the year....how silly of me:).
What we're eating this week............
Monday - chicken tacos....This is the easiest, go to crock pot recipe I use. I just spray the slow cooker, add chicken breasts, sprinkle with taco seasoning, and pour a small bottle of salsa on top. I let it cook on low 6-7 hours, shred the meat then serve on tortillas with toppings of choice. So good and easy!
Tuesday - spaghetti with biscuits made with Carbquick
Wednesday - venison tenderloins, hash browns, onions and peppers
Thursday - out for pizza
Friday - not sure yet :)
What I'm reminiscing about........
4 years ago today we closed on our house!! It was so exciting and I am so thankful to say I love our home even more today than I did then.
What I'm loving...........
I am loving having time at home. That may also sound silly considering our past year, but I am thankful to be able to get some things done each day at home.
What we've been up to............
It seems like we have just had our first somewhat normal week since the holidays. My husband is busy working, my daughters are busy with school work and I am busy with taking care of the house and doing some work to help with my husband's business.
What I'm dreading.............
The temptation of Valentine and Easter candy!!!
I need to refrain, but have had quite the sweet tooth lately.
What I'm working on.............
I have been working on promotional items for my husband's business, working on promoting my daughter's artwork, working on selling random things to make some extra money, and doing a little job searching for myself. Somehow, my days stay pretty busy.
What I'm excited about..............
I am excited about taking a trip in a few months!
What I'm watching/reading.............
I am watching my usual shows....The Office and Hallmark movies.
I am also reading the Chronological Bible each day and I Declare War.
Yes, I am using large print :). I have being listening to the The Bible Recap podcast each day as well.
I had started this book before, but now I am committed to finishing the book. Y'all, I just have to do better to make time to read! I have been reading a few days a week though, so that's an improvement. If I just read one book a month, that is a fast pace for me.
What I'm listening to............
All the podcasts!!
What I'm wearing.............
Lots of jeans and boots these days. I also wear my platform sneakers a lot this winter as well. I bought these last year at the Nordstrom anniversary sale. Since I wear masks everywhere out now, I haven't worn many scarves this winter season. However, this week I was scarf inspired again and have worn one a few days this week.
What I'm doing this weekend............
We may have dinner with a friend and I hope to see my greats (great nieces and nephew) again as well. I am also excited to decorate for Valentines!
What I'm looking forward to next month............
Next month is my daughter's birthday and we have a trip to go see her at college. It should be a fun celebration time!
What else is new...............
My goodness, it's been a long month honestly. I am a little tired of January gloomy weather and ready for another re-fresh. I haven't been my best self this year and just don't feel quite on track, so I am hoping to be a little more productive, eat healthier, exercise and get some rest as well in February.
I love your home! I love how it seems tucked away, like a cabin in the woods, almost. It reminds me of the home I grew up in and it makes me wonder if I know the architect who drew the plans for it- a man named Ted Brown. That style home is sort of his signature and my childhood home looked very similar because he designed ours. I like your scarf, too! I've been wearing them too, on days like today and I love them. Have a great day, my friend!
ReplyDeleteThe venison tenderloins sound amazing. I am jealous.

Those chicken tacos sound great and I am putting them on next month's menu!! I love your home. I feel so gun shy about planning any sort of travel now after all that happened with our trips last year! I want to be positive and at least make tentative plans but just keep thinking I don't want to have to go through all the cancellation process again.
ReplyDeleteI feel like January was a pretty "blah" month too. I know our January was unusually grey which absolutely did not help. Here's hoping we both have better Februarys.
