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

Who Did You Expect To Be?

Have you started listening to Laura Tremaine's podcast yet, 10 Things to Tell You?  If you haven't you are really missing out.  The episodes are short, but so thought provoking.  Some of the topics are light (how do you read?) and others are a little deeper, like this week's prompt.

Who Did You Expect To Be

Life Lately

Hi all!  I'm back.  I didn't mean to take a mini break from posting but it's been a doozy of a couple of weeks.

A week ago last Thursday, I smashed my foot into the bathroom closet door.  I thought for sure I had broken my foot and not just my toe.  Friday morning, after not sleeping at all Thursday night because the pain was so bad, I hobbled over to the ER.  Just a broken toe, but I broke it good.  Then I left on Sunday for LA.  I was hoping to be able to explore more of the city, but between being 6 months pregnant and the broken toe...I ended up staying close to the hotel and convention center.  All of that and the travel meant I was wiped out and I opted out of blog posts to give myself some extra rest time.

But I'm back now!

 

Friday Favorites

We made it to Friday y'all, let's start the weekend off with some FAVORITES!

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

Life Lately and More Nordstrom Faves

It has been a whirlwind few days around here.  We drove down to Galveston for the weekend and then after we got home Sunday, I had to drive down to Austin on Monday for a meeting on Tuesday, driving back to Dallas Tuesday night.  It was a lot of car time, but heading to Galveston was worth it!

Don't forget, the Nordstrom Sale is still on!  I've got all my favorites in last week's post. I'll also link some of my home decor favorites at the end of this post.  Before we get to the shopping though, here is a peek at what we've been up to lately!

Friday Favorites - Fitness and Nutrition

Hooray for Friday!  As you are reading this, I am home in Rhode Island for the weekend surprising this one:

Florida Vacation - part two

In case you missed it, I covered our first few days of vacation yesterday.  It covers Saturday - Wednesday.

Thursday was Disney Day!  This was mainly a relaxing by the pool kind of vacation, but we knew we wanted to do one day at Disney and we picked the Magic Kingdom.

Florida Vacation - part one

Y'all.  We had so much fun in the sun this past week!  It was so nice to completely unplug from work and just relax with my family.  We only had one day of go-go-go and that was Disney Day.  Other than that, it was a lot of pool time and relaxation.  

Friday Favorites - Vacation Packing!

A week from tomorrow we will be on our way to Florida for 8 days of vacation!!!  I am so excited to unplug and unwind.  Mr. Fisher and I have both had crazy times at work the last few months and we are ready for some rest and relaxation.

 

I thought I would highlight some of my vacation packing favorites on the blog today.

 

 

Life Lately

Hello!  Welcome to April and all the springtime goodness.  It's been awhile since I did one of these posts.  I thought I'd upload some pics of what we've been up to lately!

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.  

Life Lately and a Surprise Trip!

Hello All!  I know this post usually goes up on Monday, but I have a great reason for not posting.  Mr. Fisher and I flew out to Rhode Island for the weekend to surprise my mama for her birthday.  And it worked!  She was so surprised.  I had to basically disengage from social media though regarding anything related to the weekend so she wouldn't be suspicious.

And that's why y'all get Life Lately on Wednesday.

Happy Birthday Mama!

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 We're Eating This Week

Now that we're all unpacked and settled in the house, we are getting back into our normal routine, finally.

Monday - Pesto Pasta Salad (a favorite meal around here) 

Tuesday - Fish and roasted broccoli

Wednesday - Chicken with cauliflower rice and veggies

Thursday - Soup

Friday - Dinner at Mr. Fisher's parents' house

Saturday - no idea yet

Sunday - Christmas Eve!  I'm making my grandfather's antipasto and I am so excited

That Island Life

For our honeymoon, Mr. Fisher and I decided on Hawaii.  There were a few reasons for this - he had never been, it's gorgeous with great weather the time of year we were going, and seeing volcanoes was on his bucket list.  And we wanted a relaxing vacation.

Oh we had such a good time.  We'll look back at pictures and say, I wish we were back there.

And We're Back! The Week Before the Wedding

And I'm back!  Thank you for understanding my need to take a break.  I had intended on picking back up last week with the blog, but I came back from the honeymoon with a sinus infection and was just trying to stay on track with everything #yuck #nothankyou

This week I've got posts on the week before the wedding, a Stella & Dot update (so many goodies!!!), a wedding post, and Five for Friday will be back with some holiday gift ideas!

So...the week before the wedding.

A Little About Me - What I Do

For those of you who are newer to the blog, I thought I would start a mini weekly series to help you all get to know me a little better.  As I am about to transition from one job to a new one, I thought I would tell you a bit about what I do and where I've done it!

To start, when I was a little girl I wanted to be a majorette.  My grandmother fundraised for the high school band and my uncle was the football coach, so I spent my younger years around the cheerleaders and majorettes and color guard.  I was like a mini mascot and thought it was what I wanted to be when I grew up.
