It’s What’s up Wednesday with Sheaffer & Shay! I’m sharing a little about what’s been going on around here this month.

What We’re Eating this Week

It’s officially summer break, so we are making the most of the weather and spending time at the pool. I made a big batch of my Super Simple Pasta Salad on Monday and we will be snacking on it all week. It’s the perfect side dish for a party and is great to pack in the cooler for days at the pool.

What I’m Reminiscing About

As we are beginning our first week of summer break, I’m reflecting on the great school year the boys had. We really lucked out with two amazing teachers that loved on my kiddos all year.

What I’m Loving

Working outside! My office is in the basement of our house, so it’s great to be able to take my office outside to get a little vitamin D and fresh air. I’m happier and more productive when my work space brings me joy. This portable monitor has been a life-saver to still allow me to have multiple screens no matter where I’m working. It’s nothing fancy, but I love it out here!

What We’ve Been Up To

If you’ve been following along, you know that our sweet dog passed away in April. While we planned to wait a while before adding a new furry family member, we ended up with this little guy over the weekend. We still miss our old boy, but are excited to welcome a new puppy into the family!

What I’m Excited About

I have a super exciting work trip coming up in a couple of weeks. I get to go back to Hawaii and work with some amazing teachers who support families who are currently houseless. This picture shows the building where they create amazing family learning opportunities every day. Wonderful people and amazing views. I can’t wait to go back!

What I’m Wearing

To be honest, I’ve been dreading swimsuit season. I love spending time with my kids outside and in the pool but I HATE shopping for suits. Gone are the days where my goal was just to work on my tan. I need something that looks great but still covers all the necessary bits and gives me the freedom to run around with my kids without fear of something shifting around. These rompers have been amazing. They even have pockets! I especially love them for the waterpark and the beach because I don’t feel like I have to wear a coverup. If you’re like me and are looking for something with a little more coverage for your pool/beach time, I’ve included some of my favorites below.

What I’m Reading/Listening To

Bring on all the summer reads! This month has been a stressful one for many reasons, so I’m going for light and fun with my reading list. One of my favorite authors (actually co-authors), Christina Lauren, has a new book out. The Paradise Problem was just what I needed to kick off my summer.

What Amazon Purchase Did I Love This Month

I’m always losing or breaking my sunglasses so I never buy anything expensive. I found this three pack on Amazon and they are working great so far. I keep one in my purse, one in my car, and one at home for when I inevitably lose or break one.

What I’m Doing This Weekend

I’ll be our of town for Father’s Day, so I’m planning to celebrate the dads in our lives a little early. If you’re looking for ideas for what to get the father-figures in your life, check out this post with some of my favorite gift ideas.

That’s it for today. Have a wonderful week, everyone!
