A Full Weekend

July 14, 2014 | family, holidays, pregnancy

Good morning! What a whirlwind of a weekend! We packed at our old house Wednesday, Thursday and Friday morning, drove to my parents house in Louisiana Friday, had my baby shower Saturday, and my birthday Sunday! It was an exhausting but wonderful weekend with great food, friends, and fun! I go back home tomorrow, and will be doing a full baby shower recap this week, but for today just thought I would give you a peek at the fun! The hostesses did an amazing job, and Karen handmade so many amazing decorations and is so talented!

The same lady who made my cake for the gender reveal party made my shower cake. It was beautiful and tasted so delicious. It had almond in it, so it tasted like a wedding cake.

I have plenty more to show you and share, so stay tuned! The shower was so much fun and I had a great relaxing birthday yesterday as well.

QOTD: Are you crafty? Have you ever made party decorations?

    I’m itching for someone close to me to get engaged, married, or have a baby so I can plan a shower. I adore that kind of stuff, and I’m rather partial to the hidden Mickey’s.

    You are glowing! 🙂

YES I was dancing, eating mac and cheese from the YES I was dancing, eating mac and cheese from the kids menu, and singing “Let it Go” with a butter knife while wearing Mickey ears on our Disney cruise. 🚢 

When I was 12, I was worried a lot… worried about failing, scared of what people would think of me, and of not fitting in or being “cool”. 
I turned 40 this year and have been spending time trying to figure out exactly who I really am with all expectations stripped away. I don’t love the term “finding yourself”, but here I feel like it fits. ✨

Maybe finding yourself means going back to being 12.… and being myself without being scared. Heather at 12 would never believe this version of me… but I think she’d be proud. 💛✨

Emma Kate turned 11 last month during our sailing and we did so many birthday things! She got a ton of “happy birthday’s” from crew and guests to make it extra special. ✨

Not sure how this happened, but time snuck up on me and now I have an 11 year old. 🥹
We couldn’t think of a more fun place to celebrate that on Castaway Cay, Disney’s private island in the Bahamas.

She started the day with presents, then hours and hours in the sun on the island, followed by cake and singing at dinner, the tween club, and fireworks at sea! (They were for pirate night but we said they were birthday fireworks!) 

Happy birthday to the most fierce, kind, competitive, loyal, funny, and beautiful little girl I know. 🩷 Never change who you are and stop growing up so fast! So. Blessed to have the best title there is, Emma Kate’s mom. 💖

I’ve been adding Incrediwear’s circulation socks and sport socks into my training routine, and they’ve helped me recover faster, reduce soreness, and keep my legs fresh for long runs. 
Unlike compression, Incrediwear products actually increase blood flow, which means more oxygen + nutrients where your body needs it most.

And it’s not just athletes who benefit. My dad’s had two knee replacements, and the Incrediwear knee sleeves help him manage swelling, restore mobility, and feel comfortable moving again.

From world-class athletes like LeBron James and Steph Curry to everyday runners (and even my dad!), Incrediwear makes recovery accessible to everyone. 🏃‍♀️💪
