Sorry Officer….What Did You Say?

August 3, 2013 | Uncategorized

Some random happenings in my world lately….

A couple weeks ago when Bobby and I were coming home from my parents house, we were pulled over by the cops as we were getting onto a highway. We were so confused…We weren’t speeding…we had our seatbelts on….etc. Turns out, our new license plate was linked to the car of a MISSING PERSON! Apparently they recycled the tag back into the system even though the person hasn’t been found…how stupid. They cleared the tag in the system so it wouldn’t happen again, but it was so strange! Not sure if you can see the cop car behind us in the picture below.

For my birthday, Bobby got me something I have wanted for seven years. A Kitchen Aid stand mixer! I decided to be fun and go with the raspberry ice color and I absolutely love it.

I also bought this awesome chair form Target with some birthday money. Bella immediately jumped in it and it’s her new favorite. She gives it two paws up.

QOTD: Any noteworthy news to share? Do you have a kitchen aid mixer?

    I love the color of your Kitchen Aid Mixer. I’ve never seen that color before. I’ve seen the light pink, but never the raspberry. It’s beautiful!

    I do have a Kitchen Aid, a plain white one. It was a gift and I very rarely use it. It doesn’t fit in any of the cupboards, so it sits on top of our fridge like a piece of artwork,,,haha, because it rarely gets used. I love to bake though and usually just use my little hand mixer because it is more convenient and easier to clean.

      I hadn’t seen the color either so I knew I had to have that one!

    I love the color of the mixer! My mom just bought me one for a wedding gift and I chose the Pitaschio color…I love how retro it looks in my kitchen…it reminds me of my grandma! 🙂

      Ummm….that’s should say “pistachio”…typing from my phone! Ugh!

    My parents bought me a Kitchenaid mixer for a wedding gift – 20 years ago! – because my mom said she’d had to wait so long for one, and she didn’t want me to have to wait! Mine is plain white, though…yours is prettier! 🙂

    • Heather says

      August 4, 2013 at 1:10 pm

      so glad you got one without having to wait!

    I LOVE my kitchen aide. My mom gave me hers from my parents wedding so its like 27 years old..but runs better than her fancy new silver one ,)

      They last forever!

    I’d love to get a Kitchen Aid mixer one day too! I’m like you, I would so get a fun color!! I love that chair-Target has the coolest stuff. That must have been a little scary when the cops pulled ya’ll over. Have a good weekend!!

    • Heather says

      August 4, 2013 at 1:09 pm

      Target really does have cute furniture at a good price!

    How bizzare about the tags!!

    I love my Kitchenaid! I got one when I started decorating cakes about 10 years ago. I don’t do as many cakes now, but still use my Kitchenaid a lot! I started with a white one and a few years ago there was a super awesome sale (i.e. pricing error) on a brushed nickel one so I grabbed it quick. I use the brushed nickel one multiple times during the week! Have fun with your mixer- love the color!

    • Heather says

      August 4, 2013 at 1:08 pm

      thanks, I am having fun with it so far!

  12. Laura @losingrace says

    August 3, 2013 at 9:08 am

    I want that mixer so bad! I have always had my eye on it!

    That chair is super cute!

    I got pulled over one time because a cop heard a license plate number wrong when a stolen car was reported and thought it was me… that was fun

    • Heather says

      August 4, 2013 at 1:07 pm

      oh no!!

    Love the Raspberry Ice color. So pretty. I’d love to have a Kitchen Aid mixer, but I am seriously space challenged in my kitchen already.

      bummer!

      oohhh must get.

    That’s scary! I don’t want to experience that. Anyway, it’s good that it was just part of the system checking out for errors in the records. Anyway, I have a kitchen aid mixer! I love it! 🙂

    • Heather says

      August 4, 2013 at 1:06 pm

      It was scary at first b/c we didn’t know what we did wrong!

  16. Britt @ BrittsRunningStyle says

    August 4, 2013 at 10:36 am

    I want a kitchen aid mixer too. I do enough baking to justify one! No noteworthy news here, but I love the raspberry color you chose! 🙂

    • Heather says

      August 4, 2013 at 1:05 pm

      thanks I love it!

Please tell me I’m not the only one who’s been personally victimized by the passage of time and a perky Gen Z girlie. 😂

I didn’t realize how much mental space hair removal was taking up until it just… wasn’t anymore. Between games, trips, and everything in between, having something I can do at home in minutes has been a total game changer. The app-guided treatments keep me consistent without having to think about it, and I’m already noticing smoother skin that actually lasts. And yes — the full-body, 10-minute-at-home situation still feels a little unreal. 

If you’ve been on the fence, Prime Day (June 14–27) is definitely the moment to check it out with $120 off. #BraunSmartIPL

We didn’t set out looking for a “perfect” trip… we We didn’t set out looking for a “perfect” trip… we just needed a break from the noise.
What we found in Florida was something better than that. #ad

Our first stop in Auburndale was all about slowing down in the best way. We stayed in a cozy tiny home at Camp Margaritaville (you can also stay in an RV!). We enjoyed coffee on the porch, our daughter loved the pool and waterslide (there is even a splash zone for the littles!), and at night we slowed things down with s’mores instead of screens. It felt like nature + comfort + family time all finally in the same place. They have so many other amenities like mini golf, golf cart rentals, pickleball, a playground, cornhole, and more. Nearby, we explored the Florida Children’s Museum and had incredible food and drinks at Smith’s American Tavern and Black & Brew Coffee. 

Then, we headed over to Fort Myers to experience a completely different side of the state. Shelling walks at sunrise, beach volleyball, pool cabanas, and the kind of Gulf sunsets that make everyone go quiet for a minute. Direct beach access at the Margaritaville Beach Resort Fort Myers made it effortless to go from “let’s check it out” to toes in the sand in minutes. There were several restaurants on property, so we never even got in our car. That plus live music, fire pits, the spa, and lawn games made it easy to want to stay put and relax.

What stood out most wasn’t just the scenery… it was how easy it was to actually be together here. No rushing or overplanning. That’s the true Floridays feeling for me. Laid-back, a little unexpected, and exactly what we didn’t know we needed. 🌴☀️

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.

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.
