I’m back, friends! Today I’m linking up with Sheaffer and Shay again for What’s Up Wednesday, where we share what’s been up with us this month. I preface this post by saying this is essentially a Mexico edition of What’s Up Wednesday, but I’ll also share a full recap of where we went, what we did, and where we ate on the blog over the next few weeks.
What we’ve been eating: We ate so much good food in Mexico. I tried numerous authentic dishes, and everything was delicious. I can be a picky eater sometimes, so I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed the food.
What I’m reminiscing about: I’m still reminiscing about the Italian dinner we had on the beach in Tulum. The ambiance, the drinks, the food, the view — it was all phenomenal. It was one of the best meals I’ve ever had.
What I’m loving: My new cookbook and cookbook stand came in right before we left for our trip. I struggled to find the perfect cookbook stand, but I love how this one looks on our counter. Also, I’m looking forward to cooking my way through Tieghan’s beautiful cookbook.
What we’ve been up to: The main thing we’ve been up to is our Mexico trip. We were gone for nine days, but now that we’re home, we’re returning to our routines and work.
What I’m working on: I’m working on lots of content from our trip that I’m looking forward to sharing. Hopefully, this weekend, I can convince Brett to sit down and edit all the photos from our trip. 😉
What I’m excited about: Brett turns 27 next week, and I’m excited to celebrate with him! Our trip was our present to one another, but we’ll still do something low-key, like go out for dinner on his actual birthday.
What I’m watching/reading: We’re about to start the last season of Rectify. As for what I’m reading, I’m currently reading Get a Life, Chloe Brown by Talia Hibbert. Also, I recently shared another book review with some great reads.
What I’m listening to: I’m still going through all the Crime Junkie episodes.
What I’m wearing:
I’m usually not a hat kind of gal; I can’t pull off the effortlessly cool look with hats. Originally I bought this hat, but it wasn’t working on me despite the excellent reviews. So I ended up snagging this one right before our trip, and I’ll be rocking it throughout the summer.
What I’m doing this weekend: We don’t have any set plans — probably just taking it easy after traveling the past two weekends. Our weekends generally consist of grabbing coffee, taking Tucker to a dog park, going for brunch/dinner, grocery shopping, and relaxing at home.
What I’m looking forward to next month: We’re going to Minnesota for Brett’s aunt’s wedding. I haven’t met his mom’s side of the family (we have only FaceTimed), so I’m looking forward to meeting all of them in person!
As always, thanks for stopping by. What’s up with you this month? Let me know in the comments! xo
Love the new cookbook stand and your trip sounds like it was wonderful!! Enjoy your laid back weekend!
Such a cute hat and dress! Love it! Hope you enjoy relaxing this weekend!
I can be a picky eater too but do make an effort to try local cuisine wherever we go on vacation and have been pleasantly surprised by some of the foods I’ve tried over the years.
Love this theme for a weekly post.. and you’re the second person I “know” to feature that cookbook. I think it is a sign I need it. 🙂
Ahhhhhh!!! Thus sounds like such a great trip!! 🤍🤍 Happy early Birthday to Brett!!
Love the hat! You look so effortlessly chic! I’ve heard great things about the Brixton brand.
Chloe Brown is great! I loved Dani Brown, the second one, even more. And I am about to read Eve Brown, the last one, in the next couple weeks. I love Hibbert’s writing – it’s perfectly sarcastic and sexy!
That hat looks great on you! I’m looking forward to reading about your trip to Mexico.
Haha this is actually a super clever way to connect with your followers and for them to see what you are up to. I loved this idea and hope to do something similar on my own blog in the future.
You’re totally the rocking the hat! And I’m super jealous of the authentic Mexican food. Yum!!
I love reading about your trip to Mexico. I really want to go there myself too because I love Mexican food.
That hat and dress look amazing on you. I am going to check them out.
Thanks for updating us about your trip!
It sounds like a memorable trip! Mexico has so much to offer from the food to the archaeology to the beaches and beyond!
I’ve been super into cookbooks lately…it keeps things fun! Thanks for the recommendation!
I love that hat! I am also not usually a hat girl, but I love that one. It looks so great on you, especially with that dress. Perfect for summer!
Exciting Trips like yours always call for a great hat and you have to feel comfortable in it too! You’re looking great! Thanks for the update!

I love a good cookbook and have been struggling to find the right stand for my kitchen! That book is gorgeous and I’m sure you’ll love digging into it. Also, Mexico sounds so fun! I can’t wait to see more from your trip.
Sounds like you had a great trip!! I’m a bit of a picky eater too, so that’s awesome that you really loved all the food. Your new cookbook stand is really cute and handy. 🙂
