Happy Birthday Jackie!

My sister Jackie had a birthday on Sunday!  From the looks of Facebook photos, she had a great time in Put-in-Bay for the weekend with some friends.  I’m late posting this because we had a crazy busy weekend and were at the Zoo most of 

Sunday Social: about my blog

It’s Sunday Social day where Ashley and Neely post questions each week for people to answer on their blogs and a linkup. How did you come up with your blog name?  That’s What She Said was already taken (of course) and since I wanted this 

Recently,

These are just some random goings-on that I wrote earlier in the week and forgot to post…. I wore black and white striped underwear with stretchy khaki pants.  Fail.   A month ago I wore the same undies with Capri yoga pants for a 23 mile 

Weekly Workout: May 31 – June 6

It was a so-so workout week.  I only did yoga once, but I did my 100 leg workout that killed me last week and it was much easier this week.  Hopefully I can do it every week and it’ll get easy for me again.  It 

Baby Watch: Week 20

Menu Monday: Lo’s Birthday Week

I didn’t get many pictures taken, but I’m linking up for Menu Monday.  This definitely wasn’t a healthy week, but I’m blaming it on that it was Lo’s birthday week.  That accounts for the nose dive at the end of the week at least. Monday:  

Baby Watch: Week 17

Week 17 was our trip to Vegas for my sister’s wedding and the first baby movement! (This is a look back on week 17.  I’m currently almost 21 weeks, but want to get these all posted in order.) Week 17: May 7 – May 13
