What's Up Wednesday :: June 2017

It's the last Wednesday of the month, that means it's time for our What's Up Wednesday Link Up!

Link up with  me, Sheaffer & Shay the LAST Wednesday of each month so we can read about What's Up with YOU!

Here we go!

What We’re Eating this week.....

Monday: Cheeseburgers & Sweet Potato Fries
 Tuesday: Pulled Pork that I made in my Instant Pot. It only took an hour!

I will be blogging this soon! I serve it with broccoli slaw. YUM!

 Wednesday: Chicken Taco Salad

Thursday: BBQ Chicken & Caprese Orzo Salad

Friday:  Out to dinner with friends who are in town for my 20th high school reunion.

I also like to bake something each week & since it's summer I am baking more than 1 thing each week. Because I have so much zucchini from our garden, I am making my Chocolate Chop Zucchini Muffins.

 I also made a big batch of zucchini and squash zoodles with my Veggie Spiralizer.

 This is a quick & easy summer lunch, I make a batch of spaghetti sauce and put it on some zoodles.
Yum!

What I'm Reminiscing about.....

 High School!
My 20th High School reunion is on Saturday & because I was Senior Class Treasurer, I get to plan all the reunions. They didn't tell me that when I was 17 & running for office that we had to plan all the reunions. LOL!
I've been going through all my high school photos and yearbooks, so many great memories.

My Senior Picture:

 Note to self: Why did you get the "Rachel" haircut your senior year? You couldn't pull it off & it didn't make you look like Jennifer Aniston. LOL!

 Another piece of advice to myself...maybe put on just a little bit of eye make up or mascara for your senior picture. All I have on is lipstick. I wasn't big into doing my own makeup. I'm still not :)

Can't wait to see everyone this weekend!

 What I'm loving.....

R+F's newest product....Hydration serum!!!
I just got back from 7 days in Lake Tahoe at 7000 feet altitude and my skin did not dry out at all!!

I have no make up at all in this photo and because of hydration serum, my skin was so soft the entire time I was in Tahoe.

I am using our Reverse regimen in the mornings & Redefine at night along with our new hydration serum & also lash boost (my very favorite!!!)

Active Hydration Serum works on ALL skin types need hydration, just like we all need moisturization.
Hydration helps nourish the skin from within, while a moisturizer helps seal in what is already there.
💦Balance oily skin
💦Plump Wrinkles
💦Reduce Fine Lines
💦Visible Firmness
💦Added Brightness

What We've been up to.....

Having a lot of summer FUN!
June has been busy, busy, busy!

I went to the Boys 2 Men, Paula Abdul & NKOTB concert with friends!

 We took a party bus, it was so fun!

 The concert was AMAZING!!!!

I saw Hamilton with my sisters & mom....

It was AMAZING.


Spent a week in my happy place....Lake Tahoe!

 Had a blast on our new paddle boards.

 The lake was so full from all the snow & rain we got this winter.

 This is my favorite beach at Lake Tahoe...Sand Harbor....there was barely any beach because the lake was so full!

 The Truckee River was also incredibly full.

The Truckee River has been closed for rafting the past 4 years because of the drought...not enough water. 

This year it is closed because there is TOO much water!

What I'm Dreading.....

Kate has to get her adenoids out! UGH.
Never like it when one of my kids has to have surgery.

What I'm Working On.....

High School Reunion stuff....

We finalized the menu, lots of yummy food!


What I'm Excited About.....

R+F announced a Lash Boost Bundle!

What else is new.....

Backyard Kitchen!

 Kevin built it with our neighbor. So proud of him, it turned out so great!

Question of the month is:
What is your favorite 4th of July Tradition?
We are going to our friends house for their annual 4th of July French Toast Breakfast.
Then, we walk to our town's 4th of July Parade.
Then, every year we host a 4th of July Pool Party & Sausage Fest (although we didn't have it last year  because our kitchen/back patio was under construction replacing some things because of a water leak) And, this year our backyard is under construction again so we will probably do something with our neighbors!

To see our 4th of July Traditions from years past, click HERE!
It's one of my favorite days of the year!

Anoher favorite 4th of July tradition is hands down Jimmy's Homemade Ice Cream. Every year since I can remember, my dad makes his homemade Ice Cream for the 4th of July.
 My favorite flavor is Cookies & Cream:

Jimmy's favorite is Butterfinger:

 It is the best ice cream ever.
HERE is the recipe & step by step tutorial.
