RWS Features #30

June 30, 2012 | family, fitness, Uncategorized

 

Happy weekend! We are at my parents this weekend because we have a wedding to go to tonight! My college friend Christy is getting hitched in NOLA and Bobby and I are going to go celebrate with the happy couple at their nuptials tonight. We also have a long run planned for tomorrow morning, as well as a 4th of July party at my cousin’s house! Stay tuned for lots of fun photos!

I heart the 4th of July!

I want to introduce you to Mellissa! She blogs at www.afitandspicylife.com and you can also find her on Twitter at @fitnspicy. Mellissa started blogging as a way to document her trip to Italy, and then she got hooked. Oh, she also happens to be a dog lover!

1.) How/Why did you start blogging?  I was heading on a big trip to Italy and really wanted to write about all the experiences on that trip.

2.) Sum up your blog in a couple sentences: A Midwestern girl and her love of fitness, food ,travel and wine.

3.)What do you wish to accomplish/achieve by blogging? I love being a part of the community and hope to continue to blog because I love it. Sharing my passions makes me so happy.

4.)What is your biggest healthy living accomplishment? Working out 3-4 times a week for 10+ years!

Thanks Mellissa! Please be sure to stop by her blog and say hello!

QOTD: If you could go anywhere in the world on vacation where would you go?

    Fantastic post. On my way to follow Melissa… thanks for the share.

    And: Spain. Well, Spain or London. Either one would be so much fun to run around in… literally.

    Thanks for sharing, Melissa!

    I loooove to travel. Disney is always my number one locale, but If I could go anywhere maybe I’d like to visit Africa!

    I’m a fairly new blogger but I totally agree about the love and support from the community of bloggers. I may never meet everyone IRL but I feel like I’ve got a lot of friends out there. Off to connect with Melissa!

    Anywhere for vacation: Italy, Australia, Russia, Sweden…I want to go everywhere!

🎃👻 Getting ready for Halloween at Walt Disne 🎃👻 Getting ready for Halloween at Walt Disney World is half the fun! 

I checked the Undercover Tourist Crowd Calendar to pick the best park days, browsed their planning guides for all the spooky must-dos, and even grabbed discounted tickets (more treats, less tricks for my wallet 🐸✨).

If you’re planning your own Halloween trip, head to UndercoverTourist.com for expert tips, tricks, and ticket savings so you can spend less time stressing and more time making magical memories.

5th grade. ✏️ 🍎 📚 Today she left eleme 5th grade. ✏️ 🍎 📚 

Today she left elementary school to change classes all by herself, do homework on a Chromebook, and basically be a grown up at school. 😭

How did we get here? She was just lifting her arms up saying “mommy, hold you!” And it felt like yesterday. It’s bittersweet watching her grow, but I know she is going to do amazing things. She’s got a special fire inside of her that can’t be taught, and I know it will take her far in life.

Chase your dreams baby girl. We will always be right here cheering you on. 🩷 @theprincessek

Summer photo dump ☀️ Emma Kate starts school Summer photo dump ☀️ 

Emma Kate starts school tomorrow, so I guess summer is officially over. 😭 It’s bittersweet. I’m excited to be back into a routine and fall is my favorite, but I will miss lazy mornings and traveling on a whim and not having to help with homework. 😵‍💫

Here is a carousel of some of my favorite moments. From basketball tournaments to travels down to south Florida and back, Atlanta, Asheville, Tuscaloosa, Pigeon Forge, and all the way to Disneyland, and my 40th birthday plus 4th of July, tiny house camping and Opryland for Bobby’s birthday, we packed a lot into the past 2.5 months. 

I never want to forget these special moments with my little family. Memories to last a lifetime that I thank God for. 🩷

Have your kids started school yet?

Stayed steps away from rides, shops, and sweets—then escaped to rooftop views and poolside hangs when we needed to reset. 

Margaritaville Island Hotel = Tennessee’s version of chill.
