About Me

Hello, Welcome to my little corner of the world!

So you made it to my blog. What do I usually talk about? Well, a few things. People are constantly telling me to narrow my niche, but I am a lover of so many things it’s hard to choose just one to chat about. Here you will find a mix of fitness, travel (lots of Disney and Dollywood!), and family-related posts if I had to choose three top headlines. I try to rotate between them so no one feels left out, but I totally understand that not every post is for every person.

A little about what I do. I love to share information with my readers. I am a nerd at heart and a perpetual student, so anything I can do to help someone else along makes me happy. I enjoy teaching/helping others as much as I can. I launched my first eBook in 2016, The Average Girls Guide to Living an Above Average Life, and am so proud of my accomplishment. I hope it inspires at least one person, and I always say that if one person can benefit from the things I have had to go through, then it’s all worth it! I have also created some free fitness and goal tracking printables, as well as a free e-course on how to start your own blog. I also created an e-guide for bloggers and influencers on how to work with brands and make money. 

More about me. I used to go by Running with Sass®, which I started back in November of 2009. My blog has evolved a lot since then though. Back in the day (gee I sound old) I stuck with my name and mainly blogging about running for years, but eventually decided I wanted to branch out and blog about other things, which is how Through Heather’s Looking Glass was born.

This blog started as a way to document my training and the beginning of my distance running journey. Never did I imagine it would turn into what it is today, and never did I think I would have run as many races as I have, including four full marathons and nearly 30 half marathons. I was the girl in high school who thought one lap around the track was “long-distance running.”

I have truly enjoyed the friendships, advice, and love I have gotten over the year. I love encouraging, helping, and being there for others, and while I by no means have it all together, I love helping other people through my life experiences. I love God, my husband, my daughter Emma Kate (born 9/24/14), my family, my furbaby Dolly, being active, watching TV, text messaging, blogging, being outside, reading, chocolate, Disney World, Dollywood, cruises, and many other things. I love meeting new people and making new friends, so please don’t be shy!

You can always reach me at heather@heatherslookingglass.com or DM me on Instagram. PR invites and brand collabs are always welcome! I am happy to send my media kit and rate information.

Is it spring break where you live? 🎡 It is here Is it spring break where you live? 🎡
It is here, and I know a lot of the local places are busy, but hopefully that doesn’t stop you from enjoying all the fun things there are to do in East Tennessee! @theislandpf is one of our favorite places to visit, and we love staying right above the action at the @margaritavilleislandhotel (looking at the wheel from your balcony never gets old!) 

There are rides, restaurants, shops, and of course the dancing show fountains. And parking is free! A great way to spend the day. We can’t wait to go back again when it gets a little warmer!

Do you like Ferris wheels?

Looking for a fun waterpark resort in Orlando with Looking for a fun waterpark resort in Orlando with TONS OF SPACE? (Ad) Check out @thegroveresort! 💦

We loved the hhuugggeeee rooms, but Emma Kate’s favorite part by far was the waterpark. There is a lazy river, slides, a kiddie area, pool, food, games, snocones, flow rider, and cabanas available for rent. All of this steps from your room!

If your kids are big water fans then you should definitely check out those resort. Emma Kate could have stayed all day! 

Do your kids love water parks?

Found my new favorite swimsuit brand for matching Found my new favorite swimsuit brand for matching with Emma Kate!👙(ad)

@kortnijeane creates full coverage mix and match swim for the whole family! They believe that everyone should feel confident in their swimsuit, and embrace their bodies just the way they are. 

It’s SUCH a body positive brand and I am loving it so far. I want Emma Kate to feel good about herself without feeling like she has to wear certain trends that don’t serve her body or views well. 

Go to their website and check out all the mix and match fun! They are constantly adding new prints and colors! 🩱

Dollywood is open for the 2023 season! Bobby and I Dollywood is open for the 2023 season! Bobby and I had the privilege of hearing from the queen herself yesterday morning on media and passholder preview day. 🦋 

This year we celebrate the 50th anniversary of the song that has @dollyparton said herself, “has been really good to her.” That song is “I Will Always Love You.” We had the honor of hearing her sing it to us! (Check out my Dollywood media highlight and scroll over to the few most recent slides!)

It was a beautiful day and there are so many fun things coming like Big Bear Mountain coaster and HeartSong Lodge. I can’t wait for a fun filled year! 

Have you been to @dollywood? What’s your favorite Dolly song?
