What's Up Wednesday - 7.29.2020

By -

 

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:
These yummy kabobs and this cashew chicken stir fry!

  


WHAT I’M REMINISCING ABOUT:
Last week Shawn, Brynleigh and I went to Utah to see family. It was such a fun trip! We got to spend a week in beautiful, sunny St George. My little sisters, my grandma and more of Shawn's family got to meet Bryn for the first time! We also had her baby blessing while we were out there. It was a special, perfect day and Shawn gave her the most beautiful blessing. We also took Bryn swimming for the first time! It's always hard to leave St George, but we had a blast and it was the perfect little trip before Shawn started his new job.


 




WHAT I’M LOVING:
Exercising again! I was really active throughout my pregnancy and have done a few days of recovery exercises since having Bryn, but this week I officially started full on workouts again. It feels so good to be back at it!
 
WHAT WE’VE BEEN UP TO:
 Adjusting to parenthood and life with a newborn. We are super exhausted, but over the moon in love with our little girl! Shawn also started a new job this week at a private dental practice!

 

WHAT I’M DREADING:
Nothing right now!
  
WHAT I’M WORKING ON:
I'm currently working on a few fun blog posts including "My Must Have Postpartum and Newborn Items", "Our Infertility Story", "10 Instagram Accounts to Follow if You Love Home Decor and DIY" and lots more! I've also been helping my mother in law redesign and remodel their kitchen. So fun!
 
WHAT I’M EXCITED ABOUT:
Harry Potter's Birthday Party Friday night! My sister throws awesome parties, especially when it comes to HP! I can't wait to see what she does!
 
WHAT I’M WATCHING/READING:
Shawn and I have been watching a few shows together lately. "Alone" which is a reality show where contestants are dropped off in remote places of the world in harsh climates and have to see how long they can survive on their own. We've also been watching "Scandal". I've seen all of this show before, but it's been years so I started it over again with my hubby. "Scandal" is a political drama show about a fixer in Washington DC named Olivia Pope. It's super addicting! 
 
WHAT I’M LISTENING TO:
I just downloaded "The Name of the King" on Audible to start listening to. My sister recommended this book and I can't wait to dive in!
 
WHAT I’M WEARING:
 I pretty much live in these sandals all summer! 


WHAT I’M DOING THIS WEEKEND:
 Celebrating Harry Potter's birthday and babysitting my nieces and nephews!
  
WHAT I’M LOOKING FORWARD TO NEXT MONTH:
 Maybe a fun little weekend getaway with Shawn and Brynleigh!
 
WHAT ELSE IS NEW:
Shawn's brother and his wife are having their little baby boy today and we can't wait to meet him! Yay for little nephews!

Playing Catch Up: June (Plumb Family Vaca)

June was a CRAZY month for us! My family came out for eight days and then Shawn's parents and friends came out for about five days. Oh, and we managed to squeeze a super fun camping trip in between those visits! We love having visitors, it makes us feel less lonely and far away from everyone! And we love showing people around Boston! My parents and two little sisters came out here the first week of June and we had so much fun! We did everything...and I mean EVERYTHING! We crammed a lot into the eight days they were here. The first day we took it easy and laid low since they got in really late the night before. We went and checked out the Harvard campus, had some shawarma , then went and saw Wonder Woman (such a good movie!) in 3D at the huge IMAX screen inside Jordan's Furniture. If anyone hasn't been there, you really should check it out ! They have the newest technology for sound...there are sound boxes above you, in front of you, behind you, on the sides of you, AND

Happy Friday! Isn't summer the best?! The sunshine, laying by the pool, days at the beach, cruises, vacations...it's perfect! Just like I did this spring, I've put together some items to help you build the perfect summer capsule wardrobe! Whether you have fun summer vacays planned or just need to freshen up your closet, I'm sure that these capsule pieces will inspire everyone!  The whole point of a capsule wardrobe is to put together a handful of staple pieces from each clothing category that can be mixed and matched to form a wardrobe of multiple outfits. The pieces should all be complimentary in color, pattern, style, etc. So let's get started!  First up, the basics! The best way to start building your capsule wardrobe is with some simple tees. I tend to choose tees that are neutral in color; some solid some with subtle texture. This way they go with more items and outfits! (Tip: make sure one of them is a plain white tee because they literall
