What we’re eating this week…
This Baked Spaghetti is always a favorite and last night I made Buffalo Ranch Turkey meatballs – they were a HUGE hit! Honestly I didn’t use a recipe, just added some ranch seasoning, buffalo sauce, garlic powder, & breadcrumbs – eyeballing all of it and it turned out GREAT!!!
What I’m reminiscing about…
The vastly different weather we had throughout January of last year!
Last January I also started making the trip every weekend to my hometown to spend time with my Gma before she passed – special memories for sure & I love that I took these pictures of the little notes taped up around the house!
What I’m loving…
I surprised Ron with a StichFix subscription as a gift for completing his Master’s degree. Over the last year he has mentioned that he’d like to up his fashion game just a little and add to his wardrobe more, so I thought this might be a good fit! While he didn’t love everything that came in his first box I CAN NOT WAIT to see the things he continues to receive and what he chooses to keep! I think this would make a really good Valentine’s gift too 😉
What we’ve been up to…
To start out the month we tried out HelloFresh and actually really enjoyed it – but since I quite like meal planning & grocery shopping we only used it for the 2 weeks that the deal we were sent lasted. The recipes were really easy to make & everything tasted great, so I’d recommend HelloFresh if it’s a service your interested in!
Last weekend was a big 24 hour sports car race so we spent a good amount of time watching that together!
Of course we also enjoyed hosting friends in our home earlier this month too! 🙂
What I’m dreading…
The last couple years we’ve been home over Christmas/New Year’s and lucky both of our company’s shut down for that week or 2, usually we take some of that time to clean out/purge…since we were in Arizona this year we didn’t do our normal purge and I’m kind of dreading making the time to do it BUT it really needs to happen :\
What I’m working on…
Last fall Ron & I started doing some in home exercises together to be more active/healthy but we were pretty inconsistent, I think mostly because we would just do an exercise that we found online/pinterest and didn’t love them. This year though we’ve been regularly exercising several days a week the entire month! I suggested we try YouTube videos and it has helped us be so much more consistent, plus we actually ENJOY it! So yeah, we’ve been working on our health 😉
What I’m excited about…
I picked up some fun little Valentine’s and am SO EXCITED to get them sent out in the mail! I just love mail & am trying to be better this year about sending out a little happy mail to others 🙂
What I’m watching/reading…
We’re watching This Is Us and also recently finished The Marvelous Mrs. Masiel. Both so VERY GOOD! Of course I’m keeping up with Grey’s Anatomy too!!! Catch my January book review here.
What I’m listening to…
SO MUCH GOOD MUSIC RIGHT NOW! I don’t remember how I came across Sunny Sweeney but she is a huge FAVE of mine right now.
This month, Anderson East also came out with a new album and we ended up buying tickets to see him in May because we so quickly became obsessed!
What I’m wearing…
We had a brutally cold start to the year so it was all about warm & cozy here in Michigan!
What I’m doing this weekend…
We don’t have any set plans just yet and that suddenly has me very much looking forward to the weekend 😉
What I’m looking forward to next month…
Well Valentine’s Day of course! We don’t do anything big by any means but I still love the special day for my special loves. I also have a date planned to hang with my ladies, so I’m very much looking forward to that too!
What else is new…
Ron got a new phone! He was in desperate need of one as his old one got to the point of even though it was charging it was still losing battery, plus he had it for 2.5 years so it was just time.
BONUS: What’s your favorite soup recipe…
This Baked Potato Soup by Andrea has definitely been the one soup recipe I always go back to. It makes A LOT, so I always freeze half for later and it works perfectly!
I always dread de-cluttering too- this winter our girls’ room is on the list and I am dreading it! Sounds like you will have a cozy weekend- enjoy!
Glad I’m not the only one dreading the upcoming decluttering…Thanks for stopping by Holly!
Good for you for working out and thinking about decluttering – I dread both of those things and need to do them!
Thanks Dara! Not things I typically want to do but they need to be done 😉
We just ordered HelloFresh, and I’m obsessed! Unlike you, I hate meal planning so this has been a lifesaver. We’re only on week 2, but we love it. 🙂
That is great that HelloFresh is working so well for you, Kelly! It was a nice to have a break from meal planning/grocery shopping, we loved the service too, so I might keep it in mind if I know we have a busy week/month in the future. I’m happy to be back to meal planning though 😉 Thanks for stopping by!
