What's Up Wednesday



This month has flown by! September was a much anticipated month, with the start of school and football and fall, and I can say so far it has not disappointed! Here is a peek into what I and we have been up to this month! 

WHAT WE'RE EATING...
I've been on a Weight Watchers kick this month (hooray!) so most of our dinners have been "points friendly". Finding these recipes has also helped us get out of the same things we were eating week after week all summer! 
Slow Cooker Chicken and Wild Rice Soup

Layered Chicken Enchilada Bake from Emily Bites Blog
I also love using this Taco Seasoning recipe on chicken about once a week.

WHAT I'M REMINISCING ABOUT...
Monday was Aaron and I's 6 year engagement anniversary. What a fun night! 
At dinner that night we met a Saints coach and he let Aaron try on his Super Bowl ring!

WHAT I'M LOVING...
We got a new ALDI in our town and we LOVE it! It has actually saved us so much on our grocery bill, which is good because we're now packing Canon's lunch every day. Their brands are much better than other grocery store brands and we've been able to get almost everything we need in one trip. 

WHAT WE'VE BEEN UP TO...

September was full of Back to School for us! Canon's first day at Immanuel, Ben's first day in a new classroom and new classes and kids for Aaron and I as well - all the same day. Then Back to School Nights for both our schools, parent meetings, etc pretty much filled up our schedule. 

Also, FOOTBALL! Both Clemson and Nebraska are 4-0 and we couldn't be more excited! 

WHAT I'M LISTENING TO...
I'm definitely more into podcasts than anything else right now. These are a few I subscribe to

WHAT I'M DOING THIS WEEKEND...

Clemson Vs. Louisville is Saturday night!!

WHAT I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO NEXT MONTH...
A visit from friends next weekend! We'll be doing all the fall things since they live at the beach like apple picking, pumpkin farms and playgrounds, etc. 


That about sums it up for me and the family right now!

    I love that you celebrated the anniversary of your engagement! We like to do that too, and at least acknowledge lots of other smaller anniversaries... there's always a reason to celebrate! :-)

    Aldi is the best! I sure hope that will be a good game! :)

going public

Well...there is not really any other way to say this but... Aaron and I are having a BABY! Yep, Baby Schultz should be arriving this Labor Day. We could not be more thrilled about the news! Once we got through the 12-week ultrasound, which is what this picture is from, we were ready to spread the news! I know there are still lots of people who should have gotten phone calls, and for that I apologize that you are finding out now, but I was just ready to get it out there! And now I will answer the questions that typically follow up this kind of announcement. 1. Were you trying? Well....not exactly. From the beginning I have felt pretty strongly that we were not in control of this whole baby-making situation. I have known many women who got pregnant on birth control, or when they didn't even know they could, and those who "planned" it and then it has taken longer than hoped. I've just always been pretty sure that when the Lord determined we were ready, He'd

spill about your LOVE link-up

I'm linking up with A. Liz Adventures today for this fun little questionnaire!  {1} Describe your dating life prior to finding your husband/boyfriend/fiance. I had 2 serious relationships before meeting Aaron, one in high school (as serious as that can be, ha!) and one in college. Before meeting Aaron, I had been single for about 3 1/2 years. {2} Describe your husband/boyfriend/fiance in one word. How would he describe you in one word?   The word I always use to describe Aaron is steady. He is the calm to my crazy. Also, is faith is the most consistent and steadfast I've ever seen. He says to describe me in 1 word is too hard.  {3} You had a really silly fight. Embarrassing silly. What was it about? Our most frequent fight is over the dishes. And that seems silly to me.  {4} In three sentences (and only three!), describe where you both hope to be in 5 years. Surrounded by family and friends, probably with another child, in a house with a front porch

mid-month confessions

Y'all. I am SO excited for the return of mid-month confessions!! Elizabeth, over at Teaching Sam & Scout , used to do mid-week confessions that I linked up for a couple of times before her original blog shut down. Since starting at a new space and kind of rebranding herself, she's decided to get them going again, but once a month instead of once a week. AND she's partnered up with one of my best girls from Clemson, Heather! I'm really looking forward to this link-up each month! - First, I have to say, today was just one of those days, so this might be brief. - On Sunday, our youngest child, Ben (4 weeks) spit up straight into the mouth of our friend Geoff who was holding him. Yes, possibly more embarrassing for Geoff, but I felt terrible!   - When I wrote our family goals for 2015 on the blog, I purposefully left off one thing; brush Canon's teeth once a day. YES, I know. We're terrible and haven't quite worked it into our routines yet so
