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!

    • Heather says

      April 1, 2014 at 12:20 pm

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

  4. Mindy @ Road Runner Girl says

    March 31, 2014 at 7:48 am

    I want to see Divergent so bad!!!!

  5. RFC says

    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!

  6. Haley @ Running with Diapers says

    March 31, 2014 at 8:38 am

    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!

  9. Crystal says

    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!

  10. Nicole Glass says

    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

  11. Kelly @ Cupcake Kelly's says

    March 31, 2014 at 3:11 pm

    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!

  12. Karen :0) says

    March 31, 2014 at 5:03 pm

    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!

Gets me every single time. 🥹 🚢 We just set sail Gets me every single time. 🥹 🚢 

We just set sail on the Disney Wonder for a magical 3 night west coast sailing! But the fun won’t stop when we disembark, we will be continuing the trip to Disneyland so don’t go anywhere! All the fun is happening right now in my stories! (And saved to a highlight if you miss some!)

A huge thanks to Disney and @bestdayevervacay for making this possible and sending us on this trip! ✨ 

Send to someone who “gets it!”

Thank you POPFLEX for sending me this box of goodies. I can’t wait to wear everything on my trip! ❤️ (ad)

#ad Turns out my patio didn’t need a full makeover #ad Turns out my patio didn’t need a full makeover… it just needed the right planters 🌿 

I walked into @loweshomeimprovement (garden center = instant mood boost) and found these allen + roth & planters that look designer but are actually budget-friendly. Exactly the kind of upgrade I love: big impact without the big price tag. 

Swipe to see the before → after because WOW. New planters + fresh plants completely brought this space back to life. I love how versatile they are too, perfect for patios, porches, or even indoors. If your outdoor space is looking a little… tired (same 😅), this is your sign to refresh it for spring. 

Grab them in-store at Lowe’s or through the link in my bio 🔗

It’s Friday. Jesus is praying. Peter’s a sleeping. It’s Friday.
Jesus is praying.
Peter’s a sleeping.
Judas is betraying.
But Sunday’s comin’.

It’s Friday.
Pilate’s struggling.
The council is conspiring.
The crowd is vilifying.
They don’t even know that Sunday’s comin’.

It’s Friday.
The disciples are running
Like sheep without a shepherd.
Mary’s crying.
Peter is denying.
But they don’t know that Sunday’s a comin’.

It’s Friday.
The Romans beat my Jesus.
They robe him in scarlet.
They crown him with thorns.
But they don’t know that Sunday’s comin’.

It’s Friday.
See Jesus walking to Calvary.
His blood dripping.
His body stumbling.
And his spirit’s burdened.
But you see, it’s only Friday.
Sunday’s comin’.

It’s Friday.
The world’s winning.
People are sinning.
And evil’s grinning.

It’s Friday.
The soldiers nail my Savior’s hands to the cross.
They nail my Savior’s feet to the cross.
And then they raise him up next to criminals.

It’s Friday.
But let me tell you something,
Sunday’s comin’.

It’s Friday.
The disciples are questioning.
What has happened to their King.
And the Pharisees are celebrating
That their scheming has been achieved.
But they don’t know It’s only Friday.
Sunday’s comin’.

It’s Friday.
He’s hanging on the cross.
Feeling forsaken by his Father.
Left alone and dying.
Can nobody save him?
Ooooh It’s Friday.
But Sunday’s comin’.

It’s Friday.
The earth trembles.
The sky grows dark.
My King yields his spirit.
It’s Friday.
Hope is lost.
Death has won.
Sin has conquered and Satan’s just a laughin’.

It’s Friday.
Jesus is buried.
A soldier stands guard.
And a rock is rolled into place.
But it’s Friday. It is only Friday.
Sunday is a comin’! ☀️
