On the last Wednesday of every month I link up with Mel, Shay and Sheaffer to do What's Up Wednesday. One of my favorie post of the month -- and Happy early Thanksgiving guys!!
1. What we're eating this week...
Saturday: Autumn Lasagna (This is one of the best dishes in the entire WORLD. It's a labor of love, but just make a ton and put it in the freezer to pop out for an easy meal.) You can find the recipe HERE.

Sunday: We braved a dinner out with Maddie Jane. She is giving us a run for our money these days (Helllooooo terrible twos.) We survived. Barely.
Monday: We tried out one of my favorite Mama bloggers, Carolina Charm's Asian Noodle Soup. This is definitely something more up AJ's aly, but I loved it too!
Tuesday: Trader Joe's chili chicken lime burgers and a poppy seed salad
Wednesday: Jones Thanksgiving festivities begin!! Hotdogs and chili this night
Thursday: Thanksgiving feast + leftovers
Friday: Low country boil for MJ's birthday!
2. What I'm reminiscing about...
HOW IN THE WORLD IS MY BABY TURNING TWO!? I cannot believe this sweet little picture was taken a year ago. You can find me rocking in the corner.

3. What I'm loving...
Y'all.. I am NOT a makeup person. I don't follow crazes, and I definitely won't be the first in line to grab the newest Kylie Cosmetic. But I do love a good eye shadow and a good deal. And THIS pallet I got from Sephora is a serious bang for your buck. I am LOVING it and thought you might too :) ALSO you should download EBATES. It instantly gets you cash back on hundreds of sites and alerts you of coupon codes to use. Right now Sephora has 8% cash back! Click HERE to download - I just got a $40 check in the mail yesterday - simple and free :)

4. What we've been up to...
This past weekend was our only free one until January. So we soaked up the down time! On Saturday I didn't get out of my pajamas or put on makeup..

Sunday we went to church, grabbed some hot coffee in the freezing, windy weather.
Then braved the cold for our family Christmas card picture. OBSESSED with her outfit - entire thing from Old Navy. They have some gooooood stuff right now, yal.
5. What I'm dreading...
Let me just say the terrible twos have hit us like a ton of bricks. Maddie Jane has been insanely defiant and I am trying every trick in the book to break her. Everyone tells me it's a phase, but I'm running ragged. Enjoying these sweet little moments when I am NOT discipling her.
I know my sweet girl is in there! And I am trying my absolute hardest to be the best Mama possible. Until then.. we will be spending a LOT of time in timeout and savoring up every little second of the good times. Any tips on survival would be greatly appreciated.
6. What I'm working on...
Buying and wrapping Christmas gifts! My goal this year was to have it all done by December 1st and I think I'm going to make it! I have had the sweetest little helper wrapping too :)
AND getting our house ready for our guests. I had all intentions of just letting these planters be full of dead plants, but I just couldn't do it. I broke down and planted some new pansies. At least they were only $1 a piece, right?

7. What I'm excited about...
We got a GREAT school picture this year! I just love it oh so much. AND we got a decent Christmas card photo, miraculously. Everybody you can expect this to be your Christmas gift this year #sorrynotsorry
8. What I'm watching/reading...
AJ and I got wayyyy behind on this show and have now been watching an episode every night. I just need alllll the tissues. SO MANY FEELS.
9. What I'm listening to...
AJ and I just finished listening to Dirty John. It was a little slow at the beginning but was pretty intense towards the end. Good little way to pass the time on your commute :)

12. What I'm looking forward to next month...
Our next month is crazy. A LOT is going on in the Pryor house. More on that later..
We are also helping host an engagement party for Bev and Ben, hosting Pryor Christmas, E is coming into town, several dinners with friends, Christmas down in Sandersville, and ending out the year with Bassnectar on NYE. It's a crazy one, but we aren't real sure how to do it any different :)
