It’s hard to believe that it’s already the last Wednesday of the month! After February’s slow torture, March was a breath of fresh air and it had many highlights for me! I’m so thankful that Spring is here, and also that Spring Break is here!
What We are Eating This Week– since it’s Spring Break this week, I’m trying to give myself a little bit of a break in the kitchen and eat very simply. On the menu this week we’ve got some baked ziti, tacos, eating out, shrimp Alfredo and grilled cheese.
What I’m Reminiscing About: Orion turned ONE this month, so of course I’m reminiscing about how quickly the first year of his life went by!
What I’m Loving: Spring on the homestead. There is nothing like it!
What We’ve Been Up To: March was full!
We spent the first week with the flu.
Our bunny had her babies!
We had some REALLY fun days at school…
I got to be there for the birth of Peter…
We enjoyed the longer days with Daylight Savings Time
I really made some good progress on half marathon training…
And I got to go out of town for the weekend on a sisters (and our mother in law) trip! We are all sisters by marriage (we married 5 brothers) and we are all friends by choice!
What I’m Dreading: At the moment, nothing!
What I’m Working On: Lots of house chores that get neglected during the school year. I’m also itching to get outside and start planting a garden + flowers!
What I’m Excited About: I LOVE the last two months of school. We have worked so hard this year and I tend to slow down on the curriculum pace and do more fun things in the classroom. Plus, by this point of the year, the kids know the routine and it’s a lot more fun stuff and a lot less repeat classroom management.
What I’m Watching/Reading: We recently started watching This Is Us again. It’s been a few years since we’ve seen it, but I really enjoy this show. We watch like half an episode each evening so it’s going to take us awhile to get through it all.
I’m currently reading Crucial Conversations and A Beautiful Mystery
What I’m Wearing: I’m thinking it’s about time to pull out the short sleeve clothes and have my closet packed full with both sweaters and shorts, because it’s about to be April in Ohio! Haha! I’m still mostly wearing sweaters and jeans and I love to dress them up with a necklace or a fun pair of earrings. I buy 99% of my clothes thrifted and I’m super excited that this month I get to take a friend thrifting and show her some of my tips and tricks!
What I’m Looking Forward To Next Month: April is packed with so much great stuff! My in-laws are coming to visit, we are in the path of totality for the eclipse, Theo and I are going to a marriage weekend conference, and I’m participating in our local Crisis Pregnancy Center’s Walk for Life. I’m really looking forward to all of it!
And that about wraps it up for March! I’m linking up for What’s Up Wednesday.
