5 Thoughts

March 31, 2014 | blogging, Disney, pregnancy, runDisney

Ah, weekends, you go by so quickly. How is it Monday already? We had rain and thunderstorms/flash flooding all day Friday, and part of Saturday. Saturday afternoon and Sunday were both beautiful though! As I went through the weekend, I decided for today I just wanted to share a few things that have been on my mind:

1.) I have yet to see Divergent. is it good? I loved the book!

2.) You may have noticed I didn’t write a blog post about the SELF Magazine/Tutu controversy.

I did post a few things on Instagram and Facebook, but I feel like everyone has already said great things, and if you have read my blog for awhile you already know how I feel about tutus! It did remind me of this video I was in for the Orlando Sentinel, and how funny that I was pregnant here but wouldn’t know for a few more days!

3.) Disney cruise like itineraries came out for more of 2015, and it has really made me itch to go on a cruise again. Obviously it will be awhile, but I have realized they really are my favorite form of vacation, and I enjoy Disney cruises more than Walt Disney World *gasp!* I can give you a quote for your family! (Free for me to do all the work!) heather@travelwiththemagic.com

4.) Any other pregnant ladies out there (or mamas) had your fingernails grow LIKE CRAZY when you were pregnant? I swear I have to cut them every few days just so I can type. They are nice and strong and pretty but not very practical for my job.

QOTD: Thoughts on any of these? Have you seen Divergent?

    Even though I’m still mad about the ending of the series, I’m excited to see Divergent this weekend — assuming I’m still pregnant!

      HATED the end!

        I HATED the last book too!!! I read Divergent the day I saw the movie so it was so nice to compare.. then I finished the rest of the books and gahh!! I was so mad!

    Tutu Pride!! I definitely plan on getting a tutu from Monika. I haven’t run in a tutu yet but I will now!

    I’d love to go on a Disney cruise. My husband and I are planning on doing one for our 5 year anniversary…3.5 years to go (if we can wait that long) lol!

      that’s a long time to wait! They are awesome..

    I want to see Divergent so bad!!!!

    My hair and nails always grew crazy fast during my pregnancies. I’m not sure if it was the pregnancy itself or the prenatal vitamins!

    • Heather says

      April 1, 2014 at 12:21 pm

      good point!

    Divergent looks awesome! Can’t wait to see it.
    I’m 17 weeks, and my nails are growing like crazy! Wait until the hair on your legs stops growing so fast. That’s a pregnancy symptom I didn’t know about until my first. Although, then the hair on my belly grew (or it seemed that way). Pregnancy is amazing! Hope you’re feeling well.

    • Heather says

      April 1, 2014 at 12:23 pm

      crazy!

    I’m not pregnant, but it is common that your hair and nails grow really quickly and strong when you are pregnant! A friend actually figured out that another friend of ours was pregnant because she noticed the change in her hair in nails – that’s crazy! Some people think it’s from the pre-natal vitamins and take them even if they’re not pregnant to help their hair and nails.

    • Heather says

      April 1, 2014 at 12:21 pm

      My hair and nails are already super thick so it’s driving me crazy!

    I’m guessing thought #5 was a victim of pregnancy brain? 🙂

    • Heather says

      April 1, 2014 at 12:22 pm

      yup!

    March 31, 2014 at 11:00 am

    The Disney Cruise is my absolute favorite vacation, too! I’m going through serious DCL withdrawals!

    I don’t run in tutus, but more power to you all who do! Just skirts for me…lots and lots of skirts… 😉

    • Heather says

      April 1, 2014 at 12:24 pm

      yes lots of skirts lol!

    March 31, 2014 at 12:30 pm

    My nails are growing like mad too. I just cut them super short, but it won’t last.
    Now, was there actually a 5th thought or is pregnancy brain getting to you too? =)

    • Heather says

      April 1, 2014 at 12:25 pm

      #pregnancybrain for sure

    My hair and nails grew really fast during my pregnancy, and I still take them because I want to have another full term pregnancy and I noticed that my hair stopped growing super fast but my nails did not.

    • Heather says

      April 1, 2014 at 12:25 pm

      interesting!

    We saw Divergent this past weekend and really liked it! Jason liked it, too!! Tutus are definitely a fav…and so is DCL! 😀

    #5 pregnancy brain exists?

    We had to cancel our Dec 2014 cruise when I found out I was expecting our twins. Bummed but cannot wait to reschedule for Spring 2016 as a family of 5! It’s the best way to vacay and you’ll love it with a little one. Our daughter never wanted to leave the kid’s area.

    • Heather says

      April 1, 2014 at 12:25 pm

      yup. I totally forgot about it lol!
      congrats on the twins!

    I just saw divergent tonight and it was so good!! Most of the movie was true to the book some parts were not but overall I loved it!

    • Heather says

      April 1, 2014 at 12:26 pm

      can’t wait to see!

  15. Hyedi says

    April 1, 2014 at 11:24 am

    Loved Divergent! And yes, my fingernails and hair are growing like crazy — I just chopped my hair off because I couldn’t handle how long and thick it was getting!

    • Heather says

      April 1, 2014 at 12:26 pm

      I’m sure I will cut mine soon! It’s thick anyway!

  16. Holly says

    April 1, 2014 at 4:00 pm

    Hair and nail growth are from the pre-natal vitamins. I never did my nails during my pregnancy because they grew so fast. Wait till thr dreaded post pardum hair loss. Enjoy it now!

I started noticing little signs during my normal day. Just occasional bloating, gas, and that slightly “off” feeling. So instead of ignoring it, I listened. I slowed down, moved more consistently, and added Align Probiotic to my routine.

And now… it finally will be. 🤍

We’re not leaving Tennessee, just making a local move that puts us closer to my daughter’s school, closer to our day-to-day life, and honestly closer to the version of life I’ve been hoping for since we moved here. (Aka not so much time in the car!) 

Still Knoxville. New chapter. Lots of boxes. Please pray. 🏡📦

Between dogs, snacks that never make it to a plate, and whatever is happening in my entryway on a daily basis… I needed something that could actually keep up in one go. This one’s been doing the heavy lifting so I’m not doing 12 different cleanups for the same mess. 

Life doesn’t happen in neat, single-surface moments. From pet hair to crumbs to tracked-in grass, real homes have layered messes. The BISSELL PowerClean DualBrush™ is designed to handle it all in one pass without switching tools or going over the same spot twice. 

Promotion: List Price $359.99, on sale for $259.99 ($100 off) from 4/5–5/30. Limited time only, don’t miss it. Link in bio to shop while the deal lasts 👀

I clipped the 4x fuel points digital coupon on the Kroger app, grabbed a Mastercard gift card at Kroger, and turned a quick errand into a little win-win situation by adding in a handmade colored card and personalized note. She gets to pick exactly what she wants. 💛 

I get 4X fuel points while I’m already out running around (because of course I am). Simple, thoughtful, and honestly kind of perfect. 
Head to your local Kroger, clip the coupon, and grab a Visa or Mastercard gift card, but the offer is only good through May 12! Link is in my bio!

Disney dads aren’t born… they’re created one character meal at a time. 🏰 

Tag a Disney dad in your life! (Maybe one you helped create? 😂👀)

#ZbarPartner I know these days won’t last forever, #ZbarPartner I know these days won’t last forever, so I’m soaking up every driveway game, every laugh, every little break in the grass. 🤍 

Lately our go-to has been Zbar Protein Snack Bars, especially the new Strawberries ‘N Creme flavor that is made with organic whole grain oats, real fruit, and protein to help support growing kids. It’s a snack she loves and I feel good about too. 

It’s a great little reset so she can get right back to doing what she does best, playing her heart out 💕

Getting older, I started noticing my hair wasn’t q Getting older, I started noticing my hair wasn’t quite the same. A little more thinning, my scalp hasn’t felt the same, and I’ve spent more time just throwing it up into a ponytail, and honestly not giving it much thought beyond that. 🤷🏻‍♀️

So I started becoming more intentional about actually taking care of my hair and scalp, and it’s such a small shift, but it really does make me feel better.

I’ve been using Mochi Health’s personalized hair support options, which makes it easier to stay consistent instead of guessing what to use. It fits into my routine and finally feels like I’m doing something proactive for myself instead of just hiding it in a bun. Check out the link in my bio for $40 off your first month.
