ABC’s of Me

March 1, 2011 | Uncategorized

Hi! It’s GORGEOUS outside! I mean, couldn’t ask for a more beautiful day. My mom and I went to breakfast at the Broken Egg, then walked 2 miles on the lakefront. Then came home and I ran 4 miles. I am about to go back outside just because its so pretty! I will post pictures from breakfast and the lakefront tomorrow. Today I thought I would jump on the bandwagon and do the ABC’s! So, here we go!

A: Age: 25

B: Bed size: King, and it is tempurpedic heaven

C. Chore you hate: hanging up clothes. Not sure why, but I make Bobby do his own because I despise it so much.

D. Dogs: Two toy poodles, Sassy (9) an Bella (almost 3)

E. Essential start to your day:Coffee thanks to my mom and her Keurig, and puppy kisses.

F. Favorite color: it changes but I always love pink and aqua blues.

G. Gold or silver: White gold

H: Height: 5’9” yes I am tall. Bobby is 6’2” so I don’t look tall in pictures because he is tall, too.

I: Instruments that you can play: um..I played piano for a year in 3rd grade before I switched to basketball.

J: Job title: blogger

K: Kids: we already discussed the two furry ones…

L: Live: moving to the Mississippi Gulf Coast this weekend!

M: Mom’s name: Mary Katherine, but since she was born everyone called her Kathy…makes no sense if you ask me.

N: Nicknames: Heath, used to be “little Bridges” “Bridges” or “bird legs”

O: Overnight hospital stays: Nada

P: Pet peeve: I could go on and on….But here are a couple…Old people driving/running me over with their Cadillac’s in my parents neighborhood when I am trying to run….people who interrupt me when I talk or aren’t listening to me because they are already trying to think of the next thing they want to say…copycats/people who can’t think for themselves.

Q: Quote from a movie: “I’ve not nipples Focker, can you milk me?” haha! Not necessarily my fav. but its all I could come up with.

R: Righty or lefty: Right is right!

S: Sibling: one older sister who is 27 and looks nothing like me. I like to tell her she was adopted.

T: Time you wake up: it varies, but between 7:00 and 8:00

U: Underwear: yes please. Unless I am wearing a running skirt!

V: Vegetables you dislike: Not a huge veggie fan…so most..really..I know I am a bad health blogger! I do eat them even though I don’t like them!

W: What makes you run late: I am rarely late, usually early, but if I am late it’s usually my husband’s fault because he is never ready on time…

X: X-rays: back, ankles, teeth, neck….

Y: Yummy food you make: I love to bake! cookies, muffins, cakes, yum!

Z: Zoo favorite animal: Monkeys. They make me laugh.

Well there ya go! Sorry I a quite boring and don’t have any cool stories that go along with mine. I could make something up, but that would be lying. So I won’t. Anyway, look for yet ANOTHER giveaway coming up hopefully next week! I hope your day is as pretty as mine, so get out there and enjoy it if it is!

      We got spoiled when we got married, we were borrowing my parents tempurpedic. Then when it came time to get our own matress we just had to have the cloud!

I used to think dairy-free desserts were “just o I used to think dairy-free desserts were “just okay.” Like, fine in a pinch… but never something I craved. 👀

But then this little picnic happened—just me, my girl, and a sweet treat we both loved enough to fight over the last bite. 😅

We’ve been trying to be more mindful with food choices lately (especially with summer travel coming up), and I grabbed these So Delicious treats at Kroger kind of on a whim. The new packaging caught my eye, but it was the taste that totally surprised us. Creamy. Indulgent. No weird aftertaste. And no, we’re not fully dairy-free—and we still loved them.

It’s one of those little swaps that doesn’t feel like giving anything up.

And that? That’s a win for both of us. ✨@So_Delicious

🚨 Homeschool decision!! If you have been aroun 🚨 Homeschool decision!!

If you have been around here since Christmas time, then you know we pulled Emma Kate out of her private school after the first semester and put her in a hybrid homeschool for the spring. The main reason being we wanted more absences than the school allowed. 

What is a hybrid? In our case, she went to a school all day 3 days a week, and we taught her at home two days a week. 

It seemed like the best of both worlds, not having absences count since we were also her teachers, being able to stay home some, sleep in, and travel. 

Well, it wasn’t all rainbows and butterflies. For one, the school we sent her to ended up not being what we thought. We were told being absent wouldn’t be a problem, but it became clear very early on her teacher was not a fan and she was not kind or accommodating to Emma Kate. There’s a lot of other reasons we didn’t blown the school I won’t go into. (If you are local and considering hybrid feel free to dm me and I will share my concerns and grievances.)

Teaching your kid is hard. There were lots of tears and frustrations, and she got bored since Bobby and I also work from home/I’m not a stay at hoke mom. We couldn’t just sit with her all day and teach her with our crazy long hours owning two businesses. 

It was tough to keep a schedule and while getting to travel a lot was great, she didn’t thrive on not having a routine and struggled with the randomness of everything.

She is also a very social only child who missed her friends and also wants to play sports for her school.

 In the end while there were a lot of pros to hybrid homeschool, the cons outweighed them for us so we are returning to her old school in the fall. 

Am I glad we did it? Yes! I always would have wondered otherwise and now we know. We will still be pulling her out of school some to travel in the fall, just not as much. 

If you have any questions feel free to drop them in the comments below and I will be happy to answer the best I can! 🩷
