5 Things Friday XXIII

September 16, 2016 | blogging, health, running

Hola and happy Friday! Itโ€™s going to be another hot one here, hence why I bought tank tops and shorts at Target yesterday. They are having a huge sale through tomorrow! Anyway, here are 5 things for Friday (I guess technically 6 if you count the Target tip. Bonus.)

1.) Race season: I am running my first 5k of the โ€œfallโ€ season tomorrow, which is actually funny because the high today is 96. Iโ€™m sure my time will be slow, but itโ€™s being held at my church and I wanted to take part.

2.) Sick kid: Emma Kate was home sick from daycare on Wednesday and it was rough on everybody. Sheโ€™s fine now, just some sinus gunk, but wow I think that day was harder on me than it was on her. Bless it. Any tips for sick kid days when itโ€™s way too hot to go outside and your kid is running around crazy because they donโ€™tโ€™ โ€œfeelโ€ sick?

PS when did my kid turn blonde?!?

3.) iPhone update: Is the new update throwing anyone else off? I donโ€™t like change and I keep forgetting to push the home button to open my phone and itโ€™s driving me bonkers. Although, I was super excited to get rid of the โ€œstocksโ€ app!

4.) Get a check up: On Thursday I went to the dermatologist for a check up/skin check. I havenโ€™t been since I was pregnant (I know I know), but know how important it is. My uncle was recently diagnosed with melanoma, so that was enough to scare me into going. Especially as runners who are outside more than most, itโ€™s super important!

5.) Snapchat: Did you know I am on Snapchat? I am @HeathersLG. Check it out! I love the filters. If Instagram Stories comes out with filters, I think I will ditch Snapchat though.

QOTD: Do you have Snapchat? Have you been to the Dermatologist lately?

    Good luck at your 5k! I have a race tomorrow as well and am anxious to see what the weather will actually be like! I don’t do snap chat.

    I bet she’s blond from being outside all the time. My hair did that even through high school since I was outside almost every day during the summers.

      Probably, but also my husband had white blonde hair until
      Middle school!

    I’m having the same issue with the iOS updated! I’m jazzed that I could delete Stocks and Apple Watch, but I keep swiping to open my phone and it’s driving my nuts. I feel like I learn new things everyday. Like yesterday, I turned my phone sideways while texting and found I could do some sort of hand writing thing. Who knew?

    You can change the press to unlock function. Go to Setting > General > Accessibility > Home Button and turn on Rest Finger to Open. The unlock screen will still say Press to Open, but all you have to do is touch the Home button.

      I did that, but i automatically try to swipe!

Just got back from the cutest cabin in Pigeon Forg Just got back from the cutest cabin in Pigeon Forge and had to share a travel hack for all my fellow moms planning summer getaways. ๐Ÿ’ก(ad)

We booked with @savvy_stay, which means no third-party fees, no fluff โ€” just direct access to professional hosts and more room in the budget for fun. ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿผ 

They even have a price comparison tool on their site so you can see what you WOULD be paying if you went with โ€œthe other guys.โ€

Think: mountain views, family memories, and extra savings that actually make a difference. If Gatlinburg or Pigeon Forge is on your list, do yourself a favor and check out Savvy first!
