Here we are, the end of another month. In some ways it went by so fast and in other ways, it’s been long. Crazy how things can feel both ways at the same time. It’s been quite a while since I’ve done a What’s Up Wednesday, but I thought it was high time I brought y’all up to speed.
I’m joining Mel, Shay and Sheaffer in their link up to answer all kinds of questions, but before we get to that I’d love for you to pop over to Imogen Lamport’s Inside Out Style Blog. I was beyond flattered when she asked me to participate in her Stylish Thoughts Series where she asks a series of questions on style related questions and a blogger responds. I loved thinking about the questions and answering them. Thanks Imogen!
Here’s what you might find out…
WHAT WE’RE EATING THIS WEEK….
Goood question! Since I’m actually flying home today, it’s anybody’s guess what we’ll be eating.
WHAT I’M REMINISCING ABOUT….
We just got the wedding pictures back, so I’m thinking back to the fun we had at the end of May when these two became Mr. & Mrs.
WHAT I’M LOVING….
Being in town to see a bunch of friends and my kids. I am so bad at remembering to document things though.
WHAT WE’VE BEEN UP TO….
See above?
WHAT I’M DREADING….
Honestly, I’m happy to report I’m not dreading anything.
WHAT I’M WORKING ON….
I’m trying to do a little “updating” in our guest room and master bedroom. I started redoing the guest room last fall and then stalled out. I want to get new nightstands for our room and then move the tables we use into the guest room. I’ve been shopping for nightstand and have my eye on some, I just need to work up the nerve to order them.
Here are some similar to what I’m looking at. I can’t show you the ones I want because there are only 2 left in stock and you might decide you need them before I make my move…LOL
WHAT I’M EXCITED ABOUT….
Next Wednesday we are going on a little getaway to Charleston, SC. We’re meeting friends there for a long weekend and I know we will have a wonderful time, filled with lots of laughter.

WHAT I’M WATCHING/READING….
I rarely have time to read magazines anymore, but I picked up several to read on my trip. If you haven’t seen a Magnolia Journal, I’m here to tell you it’s a gorgeous magazine. I love that the entire thing is printed on wonderful matte paper. Call me crazy, but it just feels good in your hands and of course it’s laid out beautifully, and has lots of great stuff inside.
I think half the women I know have read or are reading “Girl Wash Your Face”. I started it on the plane and just need to have some more time to finish it. I think it’s a good read.
We’ve been watching Blacklist for the last month since we ran out of Madame Secretary and none of our regular favorites on during the summer. I don’t hate it, but I sure don’t love it either. LOL
WHAT I’M LISTENING TOO….
I’m always listening to country music on our Amazon Echo or Dot.
WHAT I’M WEARING….
Well I can tell you after looking at all the outfits I’ve worn lately that I really do wear a lot of black. HA
WHAT I’M DOING THIS WEEKEND….
We might go to the movies and see Crazy Rich Asians. I’ve heard it’s a riot!
WHAT I’M LOOKING FORWARD TO NEXT MONTH….
I’m going “home” to Richmond to visit my parents for a few days and then I’m super excited to be meeting some of my favorite bloggers for a little getaway. I’ve met one (Kellyann) in person and can’t wait to meet the rest. I know we will have THE.BEST.TIME!!!!
WHAT ELSE IS NEW….
Not much. My bible study starts back tomorrow and I’m excited to get to know and lead a new group of women.
Hope you are having a great week. What’s up with you?
LOVE the time you have had with your tribe!!! Eeeek, a month from Saturday, so excited!! I really want to see CRA, but Mr. Nine and baby boy want to see Mile 22 instead this weekend, they are not my Rom-Com guys, lol! LOVE you stylish sweetie to bits!
It was so wonderful and I am SO READY for the next trip!!!!! WOOHOO!!!
What a fabulous trip!!! I love all the pictures and I LOVE your hair straight – it’s so long and you look like a teenager. My parents saw Crazy Rich Asians last night and loved it, it looks great! Sounds like you’ll be home just long enough to do laundry and then repack and head out again – you jet setter you!
Hope you have a safe and easy trip home!
Love ya friend,
Kellyann
Great interview on your style, Friend! I don’t spend a lot of money on jeans, either. Can’t wait to see you next month! I thought about taking Alise to see Crazy Asians, but I’m not sure she would go for it! Have fun visiting your family!!
Thanks girl! I know, I’m so excited about our trip. It’ll be here before we know it. I’ll let you know how the movie is if we go. Happy hump day!
Magnolia is such a beautiful magazine. I just recycle most of the magazines I get, but I am going to put a stack of Magnolia’s in our entertainment center bookshelves. I love the sturdy paper too. It looks like you had a fabulous time visiting family and friends!
Hi Tanya! Yes, I’m in the airport now waiting to head home. I’m going to do the same and save those magazines, they’re too pretty to get rid of. Hope you are having a great week! XO
Sounds like a fun book..and like you have lots planned. I enjoyed seeing your MOG dress, so pretty. love the pictures. I LOVE Charleston, one of my fav places to visit I am sure you will have a great time. I am so ready for vacation, we go in Oct!! You look great in your cute shirts ( you know I love the red!) and am looking forward to cooler temps to wear transitional clothes.
Have a great week!

Thanks Jess! We are so excited for our trip. Fall is in the air and the temps will be cooling down pretty soon. Hang in there. XOXO
I just got that book for my birthday but haven’t started it. Love all your looks!! My 23 year old son saw CRA and liked it!! Now, I really want to go see it!! P.S. Your family is just so cute!
Hi Kathy! It’s a great book! I hope you enjoy it. Thanks for the sweet words! XO
Richmond, Virginia? Virginia is my homestate and we are flying into Richmond on the 10th to visit some of my cousins and my Aunt in the Tidewater area. We’ll stay in Williamsburg. I’m so excited. And, Charleston, if you have never been you are in for a treat. And, of course, meeting blogging friends is always such fun.
Yes ma’am! I’m flying in there on the 26th to spend a little time at home with my parents. ( I guess you knew that…hahaha) I love Richmond. It’s such a wonderful city and a great place to raise kids. I also love Williamsburg. We have so many memories with our kids there. We’d drive down for the day and had a great little “routine” of things we liked to do, especially the Wythe Candy Store. ?
Shelly told me y’all are meeting up! How fun! You will have the BEST time. Shelly is such a sweet lady and I am so glad we are friends! CRA is awesome! I saw it with Tony and then went to see it with my sis this past weekend! Loves it as much the 2nd time! Have a great week and I love Charleston! Have fun! xo
I can’t wait for our blogger trip. We are going to have a ball. We’re also really excited about our Charleston trip. We’ve been there for one day 24 years ago, so it will all feel new. Happy hump day! XO
Beautiful shots of wedding, family and friends, filled with memories formed to enjoy forever.
Love all your pretty tops, and That Dress of course – so darn cute the lot of them! Hugs, x
Thank you Mary! We were so happy to get to see them. Such fun memories. XO
I loved seeing those wedding pictures! Everyone looked beautiful. I also really want to read Girl Wash Your Face, you’ll have to let me know what you think when you finish it.

Pumps and Push-Ups
Thanks Brooke! I loved looking at the pics. I’m a little over half way done with the book. It’s really good and I think it’s great for young mamas!!! XOXO
I want to see that movie so much! It looks hilarious! I just need to find a good babysitter so my husband and I can go! Hope you are having a good start to your weekend!
We’re going Monday, so I’ll let you know. I’d be your babysitter?. Happy weekend!
Charleston, SC is one of my favorites!!! Have the most wonderful time!!
Thanks Trista! We’re half way there!!!?
