The last Wednesday of every month I link up with Mel, Shay and Sheaffer for What's Up Wednesday. These posts are always a doozy, but my favorite to go back and read!

I change up where I grocery shop each week.. Sometimes Kroger, sometimes Buford Farmer's Market.. this week it was Trader Joe's! I love the variety of changing it up each week.
Saturday: We grilled out! Brats and asparagus
Sunday: Homemade pizza - dough, sausage, sauce and cheese blend all AMAZING quality from TJ's

Thursday: Riced caulifolower and orange chicken or mushroom chicken TBD
Here are some of my TJ favorites! Their freezer sections will not let you down!!
2. What I'm reminiscing about...
Our date night! We have been really good the past couple months about doing date nights every 3-ish weeks! We are firm believers on continuing to "date" even in marriage. Last Friday night Ms. Sam came over to watch Maddie Jane and we had a SUCH a good time!
We started the night at the St. Regis for a cocktail. It's been on my list to go to for forever, and it did not disappoint! Such a nice ambiance -- now we need to save our pennies to be able to go to Atlas next door to the St Regis bar :)
After some yummy cocktails, we walked down the street to King and Duke. I had been once before and it was just as good as I remembered!
Then we weren't quite ready to go home, so we walked across the street for one last stop at Gypsy Kitchen. I was worried it was going to be too cold.. but the heaters made it perfect!
3. What I'm loving...
There is a lot in this picture I'm loving!! This man, the full bellies we had after leaving brunch with Bruce and those new earrings I have on!! (They are 50% off at Nordstrom Rack right now - get them HERE)
Also love this little girl who refuses to wear anything but a "twirl, twirl" (dress) and spends all her waking hours doing this..

4. What we've been up to...
This week I have been at a SHRM conference. I have been totally geeking out at all the HR knowledge and soaking up every bit I can. It was in Atlanta so I have been able to come home each night :)

There were tons of vendors there for benefits, payroll, team outings, etc. Six Flags happened to be one of them and I snagged this Wonder Woman pink cape for Maddie Jane! She has been running around the house "flying" ever since!
5. What I'm dreading...
More potty training! Taking the potty to Sandersville this weekend - maybe Gigi or Namma can talk her into going on it -_-

6. What I'm working on...
Keeping our house spring like! I did one round of flower planting back in February, but will have to re-plant those soon.. And I have been getting tulips each week at the grocery store. They just make me so stinkin happy!

Just something about keeping fresh flowers in the house that's good for the soul.
7. What I'm excited about...
This weather!! We have had some cold snaps, but I thiiiiink the nice warm weather is here to stay! We will be spending all our time outside until it gets miserable hot.
Our backyard isn't even close to where we want it to be (we were so spoiled by our last house) but we are steady working on it and maybe it will be there by summer 2019..
8. What I'm watching/reading...
This week I had book club! We read The Nightingale - well I read it like 8 months ago. So it's not super fresh on my memory, but I remember it being one of the worst books ever! hahaha I am in the vast minority in my book club (and Amazon reviewers too). All the girls looooooved it, so maybe check it out for yourself? ha! Next up on the list is Little Fires Everywhere, which I have much higher hopes for!
9. What I'm listening to...
Right now the birds chirping outside and it's GLORIOUS.
10. What I'm wearing...
I hope this is the last time I show sweaters for awhile! As comy and cozy as they are.. I'm over them!

This past weekend we went to our neighborhood Easter egg hunt and Maddie Jane was a rockstar! Here is a big ole photo dump, but they are all just too stinkin cute not to post..

12. What I'm looking forward to next month...
Hopefully doing a little of this!!!
And maybe a little of this! HA but seriously, we have some fun stuff going on next month! One of my bestest friends in the world is getting married! And we will have a parents only weekend for that at Lake Oconee. And our favorite guy has his birthday in April! Trying to get a date night nailed down for that :)
Thanks for sticking in on that one! Maybeeee I'll be back here for Friday Favorites. Maybe.
