What's Up Wednesday

 

Y'all - how are we almost to December already?  How is my baby almost 17 months old?  Why did April, May, and June feel like 3 years, but the rest of the year feel like 3 seconds?

Just some rhetorical questions, but time is crazy lately.  I took a bit of an unintentional break the last couple of weeks, but things have been hectic around here and I am finally catching by breath.  

Here's a look at what we did in November!

What's Up Wednesday

 

Hello! I've missed you all.  The last couple of weeks have just been hectic workwise.  Hoping things slow down a bit so I can get back into my normal blogging routine.  What better way to dive back in than with a What's Up Wednesday post.  I'm linking up with Shay and Sheaffer for a peek into our life during October!

What's Up Wednesday

 

Happy Wednesday All!  It is the last day of September and we are one day away from my favorite month of the year - OCTOBER.  October is the height of Fall, it's also the month of my wedding anniversary, and I just think of fun sweaters, falling leaves, a crisp breeze in the air.  Is there anything better than October?

 

Before we get to October though, let's wrap up September, shall we?  I'm linking up with Shay and Sheaffer for What's Up Wednesday. 

 

What's Up Wednesday

 Happy Wednesday!  And y'all, it's the last Wednesday of the month.  I can hardly believe it.  Where did August go?

Since it's the last week of the month, it's time to link up with Shay and Sheaffer for What's Up Wednesday.

Here's a little peek into our world right now.

1.  What We're Eating

Lunches this week are my favorite salad!  Baby spinach, chicken, chopped dates, goat cheese, pecans, and croutons/corn bread crisps with balsamic vinaigrette.  So so good.

What's Up Wednesday (on Thursday)

Y'all.  I know.  It's Thursday.  But we were traveling from Wednesday to Tuesday and the time to pull the post together just got away from me.  So it's a day late.  I can't believe September is almost over.  I've got about 12 days of maternity leave left.  Eeek.  It went by sooo fast.  Here's a look at our September!

What's Up Wednesday

Y'all.  I need time to both slow down and speed up, is that possible?  It's the end of April!  I've got about 12 weeks left in this pregnancy and I'm both ready to meet the newest member of the Fisher house, but also not quite ready.  More excitement than fear to be sure, but 12 weeks feels awfully short.

As we slide into May and the high heat of summer, it's time for What's Up Wednesday!  Here's a peek into what we've been up to this month!

1.  What We're Eating This Week

 Monday - the plan was soup, but it was Mr. Fisher's birthday and he wanted dinner out so we headed to Lazy Dog instead.

 Tuesday - The Lazy Genius' Change Your Life Chicken

 Wednesday - Pork Loin and Roasted Brussels Sprouts

Thursday - Salad

Friday - Caprese Turkey Burgers

Saturday - Dinner at Studio Movie Grill for Avengers: Endgame

Sunday - something before we head to Fair Park to see HAMILTON!

2.  What I'm Reminiscing About

What's Up Wednesday!

Y'all.  How is it the last Wednesday in March already?  April is just around the corner and Baby Fisher will be here in under 16 weeks!  Eeek!  These weeks are FLYING by.

As usual, every last Wednesday of the month I link up with Shay and Sheaffer and give you all a peek into what the Fisher House has been up to.  Let's jump in!

 What We're Eating This Week

What's Up Wednesday

Y'all - I can't believe February is almost over.  Holy Cow!  That went by so fast.  January felt super slow, but we are staring down the start of March already.  So what have we been up to this month?

What's Up Wednesday

It's Wednesday!  And the last Wednesday of the month!  That means it's time for What's Up Wednesday.  This is a monthly link up hosted by Shay and Sheaffer and is a fun recap of the last month.

Before I hop into what we've been up to this past January, I want to remind you about the GIVEAWAY that posted yesterday.  You can win this gorgeous Stella & Dot necklace. 

Head over to yesterday's post to enter!

 Back to our regularly scheduled blog post!

What's Up Wednesday

I feel like I say this every month, but how is the month almost over already?  July has moved way too fast!  I have missed the last couple of What's Up Wednesday posts due to summer travel, but I am here for this one!  Here's a peek back at July with the Fishers.

What We're Eating This Week

Monday - Veggie Burrito Bowls (one of our all time favorites)

Tuesday - Salad

Wednesday - Fish and roasted cauliflower

Thursday - Chicken with couscous and roasted asparagus

Friday - Whole wheat penne with turkey meatballs

Saturday - Dinner at Trufire

What's Up Wednesday!

Y'all.  I can't even believe that we are this close to May!

That meme never gets old.

But seriously, this year is FLYING by!  Before we jump into May though, let's recap April.

What's Up Wednesday

I know y'all, it's been awhile, but to be honest I was in a dark place after we had to relinquish Georgia back to the rescue and I needed to step away for a bit and clear the decks.  It was good to have some down time.  

I thought that What's Up Wednesday would be a good place to start back at it and give you all a glimpse into what we've been up to around here.

What We're Eating This Week

I have been out of town since Sunday so the meals for the rest of this week are a mishmash...

Wednesday: Salad with rotisserie chicken

Thursday: Probably fish and cauliflower or salad again depending on how late we both work

Friday: Mr. Fisher's family from San Antonio are in town for Easter and they're coming for dinner.  We will probably cook out and do fajitas, chips, and salsa, Mexican corn, and tres leches cake

What's Up Wednesday

Y'all.  February just flew by, didn't it?  How is tomorrow March 1 already???  With tomorrow flipping over to March, that means it's time for What's Up Wednesday!  Here's a look into what we've been up to this month!

What We've Been Eating

Nothing terribly exciting lately, y'all.  Miss Georgia has kind of altered our plans a bit.

What's Up Wednesday

Well hello friends!  Welcome to the LAST What's Up Wednesday for 2017!  Can you even believe it?  2018 is right around the corner and I cannot wait for all that is in store.  But before we get to 2018, let's close out 2017, shall we?

What's Up Wednesday!

I missed October's link up because of the wedding, but I'm back!  Here's what we've been up to this month (and I can't even believe I am already at the point where I am doing the November post).

What We're Eating This Week

We are going to be pretty boring eaters until the move.  We're starting to pack up the apartment so we're relying on some standbys until we're moved and settled.

Monday: Zucchini Burritos

Tuesday: Fish and Cauliflower

Wednesday: Grilled Chicken and Brussels Sprouts

Thursday: Thanksgiving!!!

Friday: Leftovers

What We're Eating This Week

Monday - Veggie Burrito Bowls

Tuesday - Phillip had a zucchini burrito and I had salad

Wednesday - Bread Zeppelin

Thursday - Soup

Friday - Turkey/Veggie Burgers with Sweet Potato

What's Up Wednesday

Thank you to all my friends and family who reached out to make sure we are ok.  We are safe and dry here in Dallas, but the devastation in Houston is unbelievable.  If you feel so inclined and would like to help out, please consider one of the following:

Houston Food Bank
Houston SPCA
Salvation Army
Houston Flood Relief Fund

Watching the news is heartbreaking - if you are in a position to help or donate, please consider doing so.

 *************************************************************************

On to our scheduled posting...

Holy cow we are at September's door people.  I'm going to be honest, I'm freaking out a little about the wedding.  We are just under 2 months away and I still have some details to work out #hairandmakeup

Here's what we've been up to in August!

What We're Eating This Week

Last week I wrote about being vegan. I have decided to try and eliminate meat, most dairy, and eggs, etc. from my diet. So far, so good.  I was never a huge meat eater anyways, but Phillip and I sat down and talked about it and we have been looking at ways to make our meals in ways that it's easy to either add meat for him or swap out meat for beans or something instead.  With that in mind, here is our menu for this week:

Sunday: Eggplant Rollatini with Ricotta and Spinach

Monday: Leftover Eggplant Rollatini

Tuesday: Chicken Shawarma Bowls (being a bowl, it's easy to just not have chicken on mine and have more chickpeas)

Wednesday: Carne Asada Bowls (again, leaving the chicken off mine and adding more beans)

Thursday: Cauliflower Pizza with vegan cheese on my half and mozzarella and turkey meatballs on his

Friday: Veggie Burgers and Green Beans

Saturday: Not sure yet...

What I'm Reminiscing About

Disney!  This time last year we were gearing up for our big trip.

We had fun on date night in Epcot

Phillip made some new friends

And we got to experience all the fun with this little miss!

What I'm Loving

Our new garage doors!  Seriously, I am loving all of the amazing progress on our house.

What We've Been Up To

The blog got a makeover!  I am loving the new design.  I had to get into the swing of using a different platform, but I am so so happy with how it all turned out.

New school year means it's time for a new planner and I am LOVING my Simplified Planner.  Emily Ley has a winning product here.

I scoured IKEA for ideas for my new office in the new house and I am definitely planning on this piece.

Pure Barre released a new program - Pure Barre Empower and I can tell you I am here for it!  I love it.  I still love my classic barre classes, but I am never one to back down from a challenge and Empower has it.

So there were plenty of barre classes this past month and word on the street is that we're doing another challenge soon and y'all know how I feel about a challenge #cantsayno

We had an amazing dinner at Meddleome Moth.  I recapped that earlier this week.

What I'm Dreading

Nothing!  I'm getting MARRIED in less than 60 days, our honeymoon is booked, my family is coming to town, and I am marrying the love of my life?  Ask me in two months when I am staring down the prospect of packing up the apartment and moving...

What I'm Working on

I've got some Stella & Dot stuff in the works (and some new releases coming).  There is an amazing Labor Day sale right now.  Here are some of my favorites.

Dune Tote

Embarcadero Scarf

Mirage Chandeliers

Plait Necklace

If you see something you like - grab it!  Things are selling out quickly.  If you have questions, or would like to order, shoot me an email!

What I'm Excited About

Um, Hawaii???  Two months and we will be on sandy beaches, exploring volcanoes, and relaxing, relaxing, relaxing.

What I'm Watching/Reading

Like the rest of the country, we just finished Game of Thrones, and all I can say is Whoa.  I got through a few books this month too, most of which I would recommend (skip babyland).

Victoria | Madam President | Behind Closed Doors | babyland

What I'm Listening To

Now that football season is looming, I've been listening to more sports radio in the morning and podcasts while I'm working.  For sports radio I always tune in to Mike & Mike.  Current podcast favorites: Sorta Awesome, The Popcast, How I Built This, Whys Advice with FatDag, Food Stuff, and 99% Invisible.

What I'm Wearing

lela top | taj clutch | gwen ring

What I'm Doing This Weekend

We don't really have anything on the agenda for this weekend.  We will definitely swing by the house and check on progress and I'd like to maybe go walking at White Rock Lake if the weather is nice.  Phillip will probably go to the driving range while I hit up my usual Weight Watchers meeting.

What I'm Looking Forward To Next Month

Final wedding details!  More progress on the house!  Final honeymoon planning!  So much going on!

What Else Is New

Not much...but plenty of ongoing stuff to be excited about.  I can't wait to see what September holds!

What's Up Wednesday

Can y'all believe it is almost July 4th!  Since it's the last week of June, that means it's time for What's Up Wednesday.  What's Up Wednesday is a peek into our life over the last month...here we go!

Tuesday - I'm meeting a college friend at Tortaco for dinner
Wednesday - Fish and Brussels Sprouts
Thursday - Grilled Chicken and Cauliflower

What I'm Reminiscing About

dress | earrings

I am reminiscing about this past weekend!  I went home and my sister threw me a lovely wedding shower.  It was nice to celebrate with friends and family.  And hand with this cutie.

dress (similar) | knot earrings | wishing necklace | parker sunnies

And I got to hold this handsome fella.  Oh he is just too dang cute!  Those cheeks!  And he is just content to be held and loved on.  

What I'm Loving

Sleep.  Seriously, I had a lot of crazy weekends in June and I am loving catching up on sleep.

What We've Been Up To

We've started to get wedding presents in the mail, which just solidifies for me that the wedding is AROUND THE CORNER.  Holy cow.

I went on a cruise to celebrate my 40th birthday!

We went on a date night excursion to The Highland and had a fantastic dinner at Knife.

We had date night at the movies and saw Wonder Woman (we loved it).

I've been trying to get my workouts in.  These summer hours are tough.  I'm over them already (summer hours, not my workouts).

We had a division retreat at work which I spearheaded.  It went great!  But I am excited to have my regular work life back.

top | jeans | shoes (similar) | earrings | watch | bracelet

I had a bachelorette party!  Nothing too crazy.  We went bowling and dancing and just had a fun night out.  It was more about the company than anything else.

What I'm Dreading

The next four weeks of summer hours.  Sigh.  I'm done with the longer days.  It just throws me off my whole routine.

What I'm Working On

Wedding invitations!  I have five days off this weekend and one of those days will be devoted to putting together invitations.

What I'm Excited About

I've got a Sample Sale coming up.  Mainly Stella & Dot, but a few other accessories as well.

I've also got a trunk show tomorrow night.  If you'd like to be added to either event, please email me at nichole@themrsfisher.com and I will add you!

What I'm Watching/Reading

Oh Eddie Izzard, how I love you.  I've seen him live three times and he is just phenomenal.  Wicked smart.  And so funny.  Look up his Cake or Death bit on YouTube.  Watch it now, I'll wait.  Great, right?  His memoir reads just like him and I can't put it down.

And then I binge watched all 7 episodes of The Keepers while traveling this last weekend.  I could not stop.  Compelling does not even begin to describe it.  Watch it.  It's heart breaking and fascinating and so well done.

What I'm Listening To

Podcasts!  As usual, ha!  I've recently added a few to my roster and now I am listening to tons.  Recently added are: Sorta Awesome, 30 for 30 (yes, like the tv series by ESPN), Stuff You Should Know, The Daily, and Up First.

What I'm Wearing

top | skirt | valencia tote | hammered hoop earrings | wishing necklace 

embarcadero scarf | dress | mini hammered hoops

top | shorts | sandals | luna pendant | valencia tote | hammered hoops

dress | taj clutch | hammered hoops | essential fringe | sculpted x cuff

What I'm Doing This Weekend

We might go to Canton, we'll see.  Also, see the aforementioned wedding invitation assembly.  I also foresee lounging by the pool and reading.  And barre.  Of course.

What I'm Looking Forward To Next Month

A trip to Phoenix for work, also a trip to Austin where some of plan on going to Salt Lick.  I cannot tell you how excited I am about this. Finalizing the last of the wedding details!  And we're seeing the Red Sox play the Rangers.  #gosox

What Else is New

Not much - but for real, go check out The Keepers!

What's Your Favorite July 4th Tradition?

Our July 4 is usually low key.  We cook dinner at home and just relax then we head across the street to Lake Carolyn for the City of Irving Fireworks.  Because we live there we don't have to stress about parking or driving anywhere and the fireworks are good.  The Irving symphony accompanies and it's a nice night.

See you Friday for Friday Favorites!
