What I am Loving Wednesday!
Hi friends!!!
Happy Wednesday!!!
How is your week going so far??
Am I the only one looking around, scratching her head, saying.."How are we HALF WAY through November already?!"
Gosh- time is FLYING by these days!
Sooo...I have a few fun things to share with you today!
Here's what I am loving lately!
OUTFIT INSPIRATION
I am loving this simple outfit for Thanksgiving!! Of course, all of these pieces are from Walmart- because that just how I roll. HA!
My favorite jeans, this SUPER cute and VERY well made top (it comes in several other colors- but I love this mustard color for fall/Thanksgiving) and these adorable fur lined booties!!
IN THE KITCHEN
I made the kids some muffins this past weekend and I used my Aldi brand protein pancake mix (exactly like the Kodiak Cakes mix- but half the price!) and followed this recipe. I subbed out honey for maple syrup and my kids LOVED them!! And I LOVED knowing they were eating a muffin that not only tasted yummy- but was packed full of good ingredients and lots of protein! This is definitely a new go-to muffin recipe for us!
While I was baking muffins,
I also made a huge pot of our family's favorite potato corn chowder!
Here's the recipe for the soup! It's from my mom :)
This soup is definitely a labor of love to make- and because of that, I double the recipe.
It makes a HUGE batch and it freezes great!
The kids and Aaron had grilled cheese and potato corn chowder for dinner Sunday (I had chicken and vegetable soup) and everyone's tummies were VERY happy!
FOOD FOR THOUGHT
This past weekend, Aaron and I did a talk for couples preparing for marriage in our church. The topic we discussed was Communication and Conflict Management, because goodness knows, we are experts in that, right!?! HA!
We included this graphic in our presentation because we thought it was SO good. This something we have started doing...and it makes SUCH a difference in our intentionally we are communicating!! And I definitely don't think this just applies just to romantic relationships..I think these are great questions to ask others who you are very close to- whether that be a family member or friend!

And I am going to end with this.
YES. YES. YES.
My day just does NOT get off to a good start unless I wake up early, drink a cup coffee and fill my heart and mind with Scripture and prayer.
I LOVE THIS QUOTE!!
I would love if you'd share something you are loving this week!!
Tell me in the comments!
Hope you have the BEST day!

Yes - November is going by crazy fast. I love that mustard top! So pretty! I'm loving the SNOW we got in Indiana this week. Makes everything seem to festive and was a good reminder that 11 degrees is really cold. Need to stock up on some new boots for the kids and gloves for myself. I love that question graphic. I notice that my husband and I are happier and more flexible with each other when we're communicating, sharing and understanding each other's days. Sometimes it's easier to crash at night, but I'm always thankful when we take the time to really talk through our days.
ReplyDeleteTHose are such good questions to ask anyone you're close too. Hope you have a great week and stay warm!
ReplyDeleteAwesome post and those questions, wow! They could be a game changer for relationships for sure. Love the gold top and will see if our local WM has them when I go tomorrow. Abundant blessings!
ReplyDeleteOh I love this post! This week has flown by!
ReplyDeleteMy boys love muffins and when I am low on store bought snacks I probably make a batch a day!

I don't drink coffee... but I definitely need a bit of quiet time to myself in the morning before I'm ready to tackle the family and all we need to do in a day.
