About Me

Hi! My name is Heather Montgomery. Welcome to my little corner of the world. I have been blogging since 2009, and can’t believe the ride it has taken me on! From new friends to new business opportunities, it has been a lot of fun, but let’s back up.

I have been married to my husband Bobby for 15 years, and we have a beautiful, sassy seven year old daughter named Emma Kate, as well as her sidekick, our Goldendoodle pup, Dolly.

We live in Knoxville, TN, but have also lived in Mississippi and Florida! I was born and raised in New Orleans, so the southern roots run real deep in my family (yall!)

On top of blogging, I am also an influencer marketing manager specializing in talent relations. I love to help others (in particular women and moms) make their mark and earn money from home. I am also an online course creator. I wrote my first e-course, Social Side Hustle: 21 Days to Becoming a Social Media Manager, in 2017. I also self published my own book: The Average Girl’s Guide to Living an Above Average Life, in 2016. In 2018, I released the Ultimate Blogger Guide for Working With Brands.

I like to stay busy and am always creating and doing new things. I love to teach and help people, which is one of the reasons I started blogging to begin with. My family is pretty silly, and we try not to take ourselves too seriously.

When not working, I love to watch football, post on social media (I guess that technically is working?) and travel. Anywhere. We LOVE to travel and show Emma Kate the beautiful world and let her experience new things. The whole family is also very into sports and fitness, and we enjoy running races together and playing sports. (Fun fact: hubby and I met playing beach volleyball in college!) We have run many races together all over the country, and Emma Kate has even done some kids races with runDisney! I also love Jesus, texting, my family, and the good ‘ole USA. You could say I’m a pretty typical southern girl loving life and helping people along the way whenever I can.

If you have any questions or would like to work with me (I love collaborations and press trips!), please shoot me an email at heather@heatherslookingglass.com. I look forward to hearing from you! Please find below a list of my more recent press and media events. Thanks for stopping by. Be sure to follow me on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest!

There should be a support group for millennials wh There should be a support group for millennials who still think we’re the “young adults” in the room… until a casual conversation reminds us otherwise. 😭

Please tell me I’m not the only one who’s been personally victimized by the passage of time and a perky Gen Z girlie. 😂

Drop your most humbling “wait… I’m HOW old?” moment below.

#ad #BraunPartner Less time shaving. More time liv #ad #BraunPartner Less time shaving. More time living thanks to @BraunBeautyUS Smart IPL. ✨ 

I didn’t realize how much mental space hair removal was taking up until it just… wasn’t anymore. Between games, trips, and everything in between, having something I can do at home in minutes has been a total game changer. The app-guided treatments keep me consistent without having to think about it, and I’m already noticing smoother skin that actually lasts. And yes — the full-body, 10-minute-at-home situation still feels a little unreal. 

If you’ve been on the fence, Prime Day (June 14–27) is definitely the moment to check it out with $120 off. #BraunSmartIPL

We didn’t set out looking for a “perfect” trip… we We didn’t set out looking for a “perfect” trip… we just needed a break from the noise.
What we found in Florida was something better than that. #ad

Our first stop in Auburndale was all about slowing down in the best way. We stayed in a cozy tiny home at Camp Margaritaville (you can also stay in an RV!). We enjoyed coffee on the porch, our daughter loved the pool and waterslide (there is even a splash zone for the littles!), and at night we slowed things down with s’mores instead of screens. It felt like nature + comfort + family time all finally in the same place. They have so many other amenities like mini golf, golf cart rentals, pickleball, a playground, cornhole, and more. Nearby, we explored the Florida Children’s Museum and had incredible food and drinks at Smith’s American Tavern and Black & Brew Coffee. 

Then, we headed over to Fort Myers to experience a completely different side of the state. Shelling walks at sunrise, beach volleyball, pool cabanas, and the kind of Gulf sunsets that make everyone go quiet for a minute. Direct beach access at the Margaritaville Beach Resort Fort Myers made it effortless to go from “let’s check it out” to toes in the sand in minutes. There were several restaurants on property, so we never even got in our car. That plus live music, fire pits, the spa, and lawn games made it easy to want to stay put and relax.

What stood out most wasn’t just the scenery… it was how easy it was to actually be together here. No rushing or overplanning. That’s the true Floridays feeling for me. Laid-back, a little unexpected, and exactly what we didn’t know we needed. 🌴☀️

When the Smoky Mountain heat gets unbearable, we h When the Smoky Mountain heat gets unbearable, we head to Pigeon Forge Snow. ❄️ #sponsored 

One of our favorite family activities in Pigeon Forge because you can snow tube year-round, rain or shine, without worrying about the weather outside. 

My daughter could do the tubing hill over and over, and the indoor snow play area makes it even more fun. Honestly such a good break from the summer heat. Plus, it’s super close to nearby attractions like Dollywood and several mountain coasters.

Here is my favorite in park Disneyland character e Here is my favorite in park Disneyland character experience: The Plaza Inn character breakfast. Here are a few things to know:

✨ Meet Minnie before you even enter the restaurant and get photos with her + a photopass photographer. 
✨ Food is all you can eat. Minnie waffles, bacon, eggs, pastries, fruit, and more!
✨ Multiple characters visit your table throughout the meal.
✨ Reservations are a must and can book up quickly!

This was such a fun way to start a park day and meet several characters without spending part of the day waiting in character lines.

👉🏻When you book your vacation with @bestdayevervacay, they handle all your dining reservations for you so you don’t have to worry about it! It’s such a great perk and one you don’t have to pay extra for! Check out the 🔗 in my bio to learn more. (Affiliate)

Getting in a walk or run when I can. Actually drinking my water. Sticking to a skincare routine instead of overthinking it. Paying attention to my hair and scalp instead of just throwing it up and moving on. Nothing extreme, just consistency in the basics.

I’ve also been using Mochi Health for personalized skincare and hair support, and it’s made it way easier to stay on track without guessing what my skin or hair needs.

If you want to try it, there’s $40 off your first month through the link in my bio. @joinmochi #joinmochi mochihealth
