What's Up Wednesday

Happy Wednesday!

 Yay for short weeks! Today I'm doing a "What's Up Wednesday" post and linking up with Shay, Sheaffer, and Mel. Here's the low down on mine and Shawn's new life in Texas so far!

What we're eating this week:
I made a ton of this delicious pasta salad today so we'll probably be eating quite a bit of that this week. I modified the recipe a bit. I added rotisserie chicken and used gluten free rotini instead so my hubby could have it. Also on the menu are tacos with this AMAZING meat, fresh pico, shredded cheese and guac. Have y'all tried the McCormick guacamole seasoning packets? Mix that with avocados, minced garlic, salsa, a dash of salt and tiny bit of lime juice and you're golden. Yum!

What I'm reminiscing about:
Our road trip to Canada and Upstate New York. Toronto, Niagara Falls, Palmyra, Cooperstown. Seriously, so much fun! A blog post about the whole trip is coming soon!

What I'm loving:
This amazing hot weather we are having in Dallas. For four years I froze my you-know-what off so now I'm soaking up all the sun I can! I'm not even kidding. Four out of the last five days have been spent at either a pool or a splash pad. I'm starting to remember what it was like to be tan haha!


What we've been up to:
Moving across the country. For those that don't know, my hubby graduated from dental school last week and the next day we started the drive from Boston, MA to Dallas, TX which is about 30 hours. My parents were kind enough to make the drive with us, alternating between driving our Uhaul and our car. Life savers!
 

What I'm dreading:
Nothing at the moment!

What I'm working on:
Getting caught up on customer orders, settling into our "new" home, adjusting to how nice everyone is here, and spoiling my nephews and niece rotten!

What I'm excited about:
We're house hunting! I've discovered that this process is both exciting and daunting! Any advice on house hunting in Texas?

What I'm reading:
"Girl, Wash Your Face" by Rachel Hollis is awesome! If you're wanting a confidence boost, a mental kick in the butt, and some great advice...this is your book. I can't count the number of times I've nodded my head in agreement or shouted amen sister! She's so good at what she does and I totally recommend this book!

What I'm listening to:
I still love The Greatest Showman soundtrack, but I've scaled back a bit just so I don't get burned out on it haha!This is my current playlist and I'm loving it!

 What I'm doing this weekend:
Not sure yet. My hubby has Friday off so maybe we'll explore some new areas of Dallas! Any suggestions?

What I'm looking forward to next month:
My family reunion in Utah! I can't wait to see my grandparents and all my cousins that I haven't seen forever!

What else is new:
My hubby started his new job yesterday! He joined a dental practice in the Frisco area. He's so excited to be done with school and working!

 What's Your Favorite Summer Salad?
This one! Doesn't it look pretty too? You can customize it however you want! Yum!

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
