Project Fit Pregnancy: Week 23
Sometimes I feel like this pregnancy is just crawling, but other times the weeks seem to fly by fairly fast. Like just now when I typed in “23 week”. Already? Wow! What’s cool this week is that the baby’s big enough that I can make out individual parts, although I have no idea which are which Keep Reading
Project Fit Pregnancy: Week 22
Garrett loves stroller rides. In fact, he woke up this morning talking about his stroller. Fortunately for him, we had some really nice weather last week and did some walking. The forecast doesn’t look quite as good this week, but we’re really looking forward to doing a lot more walking/strolling in Keep Reading
Project Fit Pregnancy: Week 21
Exercise? What’s that? Sigh. Okay, so last week wasn’t that bad. It did seem that I had no energy all week though, and except for Monday, I only did the bare minimum exercises. The 5x5 program, aside from the 5 “real” sets, also has you do three warm up sets at lower weights, but still Keep Reading

As you may have noticed, there was no post yesterday. Oooops! Gabriel and I have been planning to go visit his patents sometime before Spring, and he finally decided to do it.

It’s garden time again, woohoo! My brother is building some really nice raised beds for mom and fam. Well, given that I just finished turning over some ground to plant peas, those raised beds looked awful nice to me. Immediately, I began devising a way we could do something similar. Let’s see… Keep Reading
Project Fit Pregnancy: Week 18
18 weeks, and all I have to say is, heartburn?! Already?! Yeah. But it’s not too bad …Yet… as long as I watch the carbs and don’t eat too much at one time. Even though I had heartburn really bad (or at least what I consider to be bad) with Garrett, it was never something that I thought about after Keep Reading
Project Fit Pregnancy: Week 17
Last Thursday night, I was laying in bed and just could not get to sleep. You know how it is, the ol’ brain just won’t shut down. It was almost midnight when I suddenly felt something and realized hey, that’s not a digestive complaint. So last Thursday marks the first time I felt the baby kicking Keep Reading
Homemade Soap
Have you ever considered making your own soap? If your the homemade, do-it-yourselfer, or “crafty” in the least, you probably have. But did you know that making your own soap can save you money. Who can say no to a product that’s not only cheaper, but better for your skin?! I shied away Keep Reading
