I wish these were weekly! Seriously I love reading through these posts and so fun to look back at!
{1} WHAT WE’RE EATING THIS WEEK:
Monday: The hubby loves to use his smoker any chance he gets, so we fixed a gigantic pork shoulder roast and it was amazing!
Tuesday: I did an Isagenix cleanse for the first time ever. Any of you guys do Isagenix? I've used a few of their products for two years now here and there and I do like some of them (and don't like some) but I decided to pull the trigger on a cleanse because I've just been in a rut eating wise and not getting anywhere with my fitness even though I'm working out five times a day and trying to eat semi decent. The cleanse went better than expected to be honest, I don't know how much different I feel? So we will do it one more time in a week or two and see!
Wednesday: I'm going to make a burrito bowl with some left over smoked pork! I don't know why but recently pico is my jam! I hate tomatoes too! It must be the garlic and onions. So I'm going to pick some of that up at the store with some fresh hot jalapenos! I need to find a good pico homemade recipe for this summer to fix with the garden goods!
Thursday: It is supposed to be absolutely gorgeous out after having about two weeks of horrible weather! I don't care what we have as long as it is grilled! I'm leaning towards wings! Gold n' plump wingettes are the best to grill!
Friday: We are heading camping! I am fixing up some burgers and sandwich items for some grilled pie iron sandwiches! Speaking of burgers, I saw one of these posts had a link back to Shay's grilled peach burgers and I'm sooooo intrigued I feel like I have to try them now!

{2} WHAT I’M REMINISCING ABOUT:
Lately Elliot has been such a sass, such a sass. She is far too much like me. Whoops! But I've been reminiscing about when she used to not talk so much smack back. She's already such a teenager. But her love and kindness for people is so fierce and I'm glad that will never change! She even got an award at school for being such a nice person!

{3} WHAT I'M LOVING:
I just did a Stella and Dot trunk show and I cannot wait to order my goods! Seriously they have amazing stuff! Go check it out. I'm dying for a small clutch for a cute night out! Also all the bright colors lately! Check out this clutch!

{4} WHAT WE’VE BEEN UP TO:
I feel like we have not been doing anything in particular but we have just been so busy. The end of the school season is killer and I don't even have kids in actual school yet! What the heck! We did two weeks of four day swim lessons. So for two weeks it was Monday: Gymnastics and Swim, Tuesday: I have golf and Elliot had swim, Wednesday: Swim, Thursday: Ballet and swim! It was a killer! Lets just say the house looked like a bomb went off, I was so backed up on laundry, and we hadn't ate a real meal in a while. Is this what life is like when they are older? Please say no because I like my happy hour and family dinners! Here are a few pictures from the last couple weeks!
Elliot and I in the garage waiting for the rain to quit so we can finish planting flowers!
Elle was determined to plant flowers even though it was still raining!
In the summer our church has it's service outside at a bible camp. It is gorgeous setting right on the lake. We are so happy the services are back!!!
We had some good weather one day last weekend and J and I sat outside on the deck with the new fire pit. This is such a good example of us ha ;)
Piggy tails for life!
Testing out Grammy and Papa's new pontoon!
Elliot's last day of preschool was a beach day!
Presents for the teachers!
Like I said earlier, no real dinner we were so busy, so many goldfish consumed.
Dixie and Papa shnuggling
Elliot got a new car seat in my mom's vehicle. I still refuse to put her in a non-harness one yet, she's almost five. I mean I just can't. Anyone else feel that way?
Three day weekends allow for slow mornings with fun breakfast!

{5} WHAT I’M DREADING:
Seriously nothing. I made a goal to just be happy about 6 years ago and that is literally how I live my life. I just try to see the best in everything. If not there is always wine ;)
{6} WHAT I’M WORKING ON:
Dixie's birthday party details! She is doing a Mickey Mouse "twodooles" birthday party! There are so many cute ideas out there! So far I've decided on a Hot Diggity Dog bar! I mean so fun right?!?!?

{7} WHAT I’M EXCITED ABOUT:
Camping! We have two trips under our belt and we have one this weekend, next weekend I'm camping/golfing with some of my best girl friends, and the weekend after that we are camping with three different family friends that all have kids around the same age! Super excited!

{8} WHAT I’M WATCHING/READING:
Reading, notta. Watching, eh sometimes Twins Baseball. Mostly continuously browsing the internet for camping locations. I mean I'm addicted to checking them all out! I love seeing the different venues. Oh and pinterest stalking Mickey parties! I'm so lame I go to bed by 9 most nights and that leaves very little time to read/watch anything which honestly I'm okay with for now!

{10} WHAT I’M WEARING:
I got a ton of new clothes but I haven't taken any pictures! I was loving the warm weather but the last two weeks have been FREEZING! Super windy and lower 50's and clouds. So many clouds. So no cute clothes for me, just trying to stay warm! Summer where are you?!?!

{12} WHAT I’M LOOKING FORWARD TO NEXT MONTH:
June! My littlest baby turns two! I can't believe it. She's such a peanut though so it just doesn't seem like it! We will have her party the 30th so my grandparents can be there for the holiday weekend too!

{13} WHAT ELSE IS NEW:
Dixie started both Occupational Therapy and Physical Therapy to help her get caught up, like I said she will be two next month and still not walking, though she is taking steps behind a stroller! So we are hoping that some good therapy sessions can help her get caught up. This has been such a huge learning curve and GIFT for me. I'm such a get it done pronto person and her being behind has really taught me patience and putting effort into something. Most of my life everything has came pretty easy, I'm not going to lie, so this has been a gift for me. Lots of hard work and I know Dixie will be caught up with all the kids her age!

Bonus question this month: WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE VACATION SPOT?
Shocking, but camping. Seriously anyone that knows me/knew me growing up will just laugh. I'm not an outdoorsy person whatsoever, but I honestly just love camping. It is more glamping than anything though ;) But truly Minnesota is just so beautiful. I love seeing it all!
