11 Year Blogiversary

November 16, 2020 | blogging

Every year this sneaks up on me! Bobby actually had to remind me this time. This week marks ELEVEN YEARS that I have been on this blogging journey. (If you go to the right sidebar and search “blogiversary” you can find my yearly posts!)

When I think about how different my life would look without blogging it truly amazes me. It is so intertwined into my day and life that I really don’t know what I would be doing without it! I have had so many amazing opportunities. I have gone through ebbs and flows. I have blogged 7 days a week and twice a month. I have been super active on Twitter and then jump to Instagram. It is ever evolving, and that’s what I love about it.

I am so thankful that God has blessed my efforts and we have been able to go on trips, get to meet wonderful people, try fun products, and pay some bills. It’s not perfect, I’m not a millionaire (by far!) but I have put my heart and soul into Through Heather’s Looking Glass, and and am proud.

I am also thankful. I love hearing from those of you that have been around since the Running With Sass days. I love that Emma Kate gets to “grow up” with all of you. I love sharing my life, my struggles, my triumphs, and my failures. I love encouraging you, praying for you, and helping you in tiny little ways here and there. I truly hope you have found some sort of blessing or encouragement or helpful info from me over the years. I strive to be honest, real, and fair. I don’t always get it right, but I promise I am trying.

I hope that this next year is just as great, and I can’t wait to see what is in store for me and my blog! Cheers to another year, another post, another blessing. Thank you so much for sticking with me. You are awesome, and the reason I do what I do. Love yall!

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
We stopped in the Smoky Mountains for one of the m We stopped in the Smoky Mountains for one of the most unexpected food experiences… where Tennessee whiskey doesn’t just stay in the glass, it shows up on the plate. #Corktoforkpartner 

Dancing Bear Appalachian Bistro took part in Cork to Fork on the Tennessee Whiskey Trail, and every bite felt like a love letter to local flavor. From bourbon-glazed pork belly to a warm cinnamon-bourbon bread pudding that honestly didn’t stand a chance at our table… this was one of those meals you remember.

Mountain views, chef-driven dishes, and whiskey worked right into the menu in the best way. 😋 

If this is what “one stop” on Cork to Fork looks like… I’m curious what the rest tastes like! Head to the website ( 🔗 in bio) to learn more about the trail and download your free digital passport! @tnwhiskeytrail

I really thought struggling with my skin was just I really thought struggling with my skin was just something I had to deal with as I got older or got stressed. I kept trying random products instead of actually being consistent with ingredients that made sense for my skin. 🫶🏻

Lately I’ve been using personalized skincare through Mochi Health and it’s been so much easier having products targeted to what my skin actually needs instead of just guessing every time I break out.
