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 leveling up your influence!

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 furbabies Dolly and Luna, 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.

This past summer, we learned how real dog anxiety This past summer, we learned how real dog anxiety can be. (Ad)

After a really stressful week with a new sitter (who wasn’t a great fit and left her alone far too long), Dolly started coping the only way she knew how — nonstop licking. What started as “normal anxious behavior” turned into a raw wound that required a vet visit, meds, and constant care.

We changed a few things in her routine, and we also added NaturVet Daily Emotional Support Calming Supplements into her daily support. The difference has been incredible. She’s settled, sleeping better, no more licking, and truly back to her happy, goofy self.

I’m sharing this for anyone whose dog struggles with stress, separation, or big changes. You’re not overreacting. Their anxiety is real — and it deserves real support. 🤍

You can find @naturvet Daily Emotional Support Calming Supplements  at select Walmart stores, and they’ve been such a gentle, helpful part of Dolly’s healing.

I was so tired of dragging around heavy, clunky ba I was so tired of dragging around heavy, clunky bags on my trips! ✈️

So I invested in the Carry-On from @hulkenbag! It’s lightweight, sleek, and glides effortlessly wherever I go. It has 4 pockets and opens from the top, so it’s very easy to grab things in flight! I’ve got room for everything I need and can fit all my devices, snacks, books, and a neck pillow seamlessly inside.

I always pair my Carry-On with the Schlep Stack because who has time to dig through a messy bag? 👜✨

Trust me, Hulken is a total game-changer!

Let’s kick off 2026 with a little bit of wellness, and a whole lot of humor. I just wanted the restaurant experience at home, ok? 😝

The beaches of Alabama are the kind of place where the days feel slow, the kids are happy, and you don’t feel like you need a vacation after your vacation.

Alabama beaches in the spring just make sense.
