What's Up Wednesday in May
It's the last Wednesday of the month and that means it's time for What's Up Wednesday. I can not believe it's already the end of May. These next few weeks are going to be SO busy with just 12 more days left of school for Alec (the other two boys already ended school in May).
What I've Been Eating this Month: I shared a lot of the healthier meals I've been eating this month in my Weigh-in Wednesday post but we had plenty of not so healthy foods too. Life is all about balance after all.
 |
| Mother' day lunch was a veggie wrap with fries |
 |
| Panera Bread's Strawberry Poppyseed Chicken Salad is back for the summer and I had to stop and get one! |
 |
| I enjoyed tuna on some Tuscan wheat bread with lots of veggies |
 |
| I had a chicken, bacon, ranch deep dish pizza at Alec's school |
What I'm Reminiscing About: How is this boy already graduating high school and heading off to college in the fall? I have had a wonderful time culling through all our old photos and photo archives to pull together a slideshow to play during his party.
What I'm Loving: My sister sent me some lovely nail decals for Mother's day and I am loving painting and decorating my nails.
What We've Been Up To: I've spent just a few days in the sun reading my book, we went on lots of hikes, enjoyed some ice cream when our local stands opened up and a few foggy mornings on the lake too. I took my mom out for an early Mother's day lunch and we all went to eat lunch at Alec's school one last time. We saw Alec and his friends off to their senior prom.
What I'm Dreading: Nothing at all!
What I'm Excited About: Our Acadia Trip! I can not wait to relax at our bed and breakfast and hit the trails.

| We're staying at the same place as last year! |
What I'm Watching/Reading: Anyone But You (Netflix), The Idea of You (Prime), Royal Pains (Netflix), Mother of the Bride (Netflix), etc. I shared about some of my favorite shows I've been watching lately in this post just a couple weeks ago.
I read/listened to well over a dozen books this month and will have a full review up next Thursday for our second Share Your Shelf link up (not all books I read are in this collage).
What I'm Listening to: I've been listening to lots of great audiobooks this month and my favorite is pretty much a tie between Will by Will Smith and The 4th Wing by Rebecca Yarros.
What I'm Wearing: Sadly we're still wearing mostly pants and long sleeves here. Though I will absolutely change mid-day if it even warms up remotely! We have had some random 80 degree days though and it looks like it will be warming up..
What I'm Doing This Weekend: We have a busy weekend with Alec's high school graduation party and the start of our anniversary trip to Acadia (the boys will be staying home for this one).
What I'm Looking Forward to Next Month: Graduation, senior awards night, the start of summer, Father's day weekend, and all sorts of fun stuff.
What Else is New: I think that covers it.
Busy time for sure! Good luck getting everything ready for the party- I know much work that is and will be. How nice to look forward to getting away after the event to go to a beautiful place!
ReplyDeleteThank you! Other than cleaning the inside of the house and mixing up a few recipes I don't have much left to do... though I probably should start packing soon!
DeleteWhat wonderful things to look forward to! Love these cute pics of your son. I am also preparing for our graduation party. These last couple of months are going to go too fast!

Aw, thank you! They sure are.
DeleteHave fun prepping for the party! And yes, I am enjoying the bits of warm weather we are getting too. This is a tough time of year to dress for and many days, I wish I was at home to change midday! Enjoy Maine!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteWhat adorable pictures of Alec! Can't wait to hear all about your trip.
ReplyDeleteI have so many things to blog about in June that my blogging calendar is crammed full and June hasn't even started yet! Pretty sure to squeeze in all the grad party/ graduation/ Acadia trip recaps, etc. I'll have to post a few posts some days.
DeleteMany congrats to Alec!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteSuch an exciting weekend ahead! Crossing my fingers for perfect weather for you :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! So far it's looking good but I'm keeping my fingers crossed too.
DeleteYou have a lot coming up to be excited about!
ReplyDeleteWe definitely do!
DeleteI love your hair straight- looks fantastic! Aww Baby Alec- so sweet! Such an exciting time for all of you :)
ReplyDeleteAw, thank you!
DeleteYour meals always look so good. I am determined to try strawberries on my salads over the summer.
ReplyDeleteI love your nails, they're so pretty!
I hope Alex's graduation party goes well, it sounds like you are well prepared for it. Have fun.
I love all sorts of fresh fruit on my salads; especially in summer. They add just a bit of unexpected sweetness.
DeleteOh my word - all of those sweet baby pictures!! I know it's such a bittersweet time sending your babies off into the world. I don't think I'll ever be ready for that!
ReplyDeleteI don't know; while I will obviously have sad times about sending him off I'm mostly really, really excited for him and to see and hear about all that he gets to experience.
DeleteThose jumpers on Amazon are so comfy. I own a couple of them. It's been chilly here, too.
ReplyDeleteThey are wonderfully comfy!
DeleteI just got a jumper from Amazon but it had been nice here, I honestly should have worn it today its chilly. The picture with the fog is pretty.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteAw, thank you so much! I do love that I feel like everything around the house is set for quite some time now and we can just relax the rest of the summer (after throwing the actual party and cleaning up from it).
ReplyDeleteHave so much fun on your Acadia trip!! It's on my list!
ReplyDeleteThank you! It's such a beautiful area.
DeleteHave fun at Acadia.
