Happy Wednesday! Can you BELIEVE we’re almost to May? This school year has absolutely flown by but I’m craving a summer away from DC with Ohio friends at the Lake. Sigh. I can’t wait.
Today I’m linking up with two of my favorite blogs, Mix and Match Mama and Sheaffer Told Me To for today’s What’s Up Wednesday. Enjoy!
What We’re Eating
I’ve been on a total baking kick and made monster cookies probably six or seven times over the past month. My colleagues love them and I enjoy making them!
As far as actual food goes, I made Kielbasa and Cabbage (delish and even better as a leftover!), Copycat Starbucks Egg Bites (SO easy and SO good) and Egg Roll in a Bowl.
What I’m Reminiscing About
We had a wonderful Easter in DC (we had brunch at the Club and went to Annapolis with a friend and his puppy for the afternoon!) and a fabulous Easter Week in Marco Island. I needed a break and the timing couldn’t have been better!
What I’m Excited About
We’re going up to Ohio for a First Communion in May and also plan on checking on the condo. I can’t WAIT.
May is also when Jim’s birthday is so it’s sure to be a very fun month!
What I’m Loving:
Poshmark. I know I’m late to the party but HOW did I not know how great it is? I got two pairs of NWT Spanx jeans for less than $100 total. Amazing.
What I’ve Been Up To:
Promoting my summer program, meeting with ALL the schools and tweaking as necessary.
I’ve also recently completed my online training for CPR (WAY more time-consuming than I thought but VERY necessary)
And I spent the weekend at paging at the DCDAR State Conference!
What I’m Dreading:
ALL the onboarding of new clients. I love, love, love what I do but May is always crazy busy for me with assessing, report writing, connecting clients with reading specialists and scheduling! Once June hits, though, we’ll be smooth sailing!
What I’m Working On:
Aside from the obvious Higdon Literacy Solutions work, I’m also working on some content for the blog about Lake Erie summers. Since I’ve been going up for pretty much my entire life, I know a thing or two about good places to eat, things to see and where to stay!
What I’m Watching/Reading:
Don’t judge….
… but I actually really feel like I relate to these women, haha. But seriously, many of the women are “deconstructing” Mormons. I’m certainly still very much a practicing Catholic but I’ve recently started to realize how incredibly weird and cultish my experience of Catholicism had been, especially in college. Anyway, perhaps I’ll one day be a Real Housewife of the Vatican 😉
Also I recently read Bad Mormon, The Courage to be Free, In the FLO (life changing), When McKinsey Comes to Town and The Whole-Brain Child. More details to come, but I recommend them all.
What I’m Listening To:
Only the best background music ever…
What I’m Wearing:
I’m taking a hiatus from Rent the Runway but I’ve been loving playing dress up for some recent events!
What I’m Doing This Weekend:
My FAVORITE band is playing this weekend so we’re definitely going! Can’t wait!
Also, some friends and I organized this and it should be interesting. If you’re in the area, join us!
Stay tuned for some Lake Erie content coming up! Enjoy your Wednesday!
I’m just catching up on my WUW reading. I love living near the Great Lakes. We really need to rent a place to stay at one for a week rather than just going for the day.
