About Me

Hi! My name is Heather Montgomery. Welcome to my little corner of the world. I have been blogging since 2009, and can’t believe the ride it has taken me on! From new friends to new business opportunities, it has been a lot of fun, but let’s back up.

I have been married to my husband Bobby for 15 years, and we have a beautiful, sassy seven year old daughter named Emma Kate, as well as her sidekick, our Goldendoodle pup, Dolly.

We live in Knoxville, TN, but have also lived in Mississippi and Florida! I was born and raised in New Orleans, so the southern roots run real deep in my family (yall!)

On top of blogging, I am also an influencer marketing manager specializing in talent relations. I love to help others (in particular women and moms) make their mark and earn money from home. I am also an online course creator. I wrote my first e-course, Social Side Hustle: 21 Days to Becoming a Social Media Manager, in 2017. I also self published my own book: The Average Girl’s Guide to Living an Above Average Life, in 2016. In 2018, I released the Ultimate Blogger Guide for Working With Brands.

I like to stay busy and am always creating and doing new things. I love to teach and help people, which is one of the reasons I started blogging to begin with. My family is pretty silly, and we try not to take ourselves too seriously.

When not working, I love to watch football, post on social media (I guess that technically is working?) and travel. Anywhere. We LOVE to travel and show Emma Kate the beautiful world and let her experience new things. The whole family is also very into sports and fitness, and we enjoy running races together and playing sports. (Fun fact: hubby and I met playing beach volleyball in college!) We have run many races together all over the country, and Emma Kate has even done some kids races with runDisney! I also love Jesus, texting, my family, and the good ‘ole USA. You could say I’m a pretty typical southern girl loving life and helping people along the way whenever I can.

If you have any questions or would like to work with me (I love collaborations and press trips!), please shoot me an email at heather@heatherslookingglass.com. I look forward to hearing from you! Please find below a list of my more recent press and media events. Thanks for stopping by. Be sure to follow me on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest!

So thankful to live in the land of the free because of the brave. 

We had a beautiful day celebrating our great country.

Homemade ice cream and brownies are a must

So thankful for summertime! ☀️ @thehendersonfl i So thankful for summertime! ☀️ 

@thehendersonfl is one of our all time faves (for obvious reasons, look how blue that water is! Look how amazing the drinks look! Look at the huge smiles on our faces!) we always come away feeling so relaxed and refreshed. 🧖‍♀️ 

If you want a luxury hotel feel in Destin Florida, but still something that caters to families (hello kids club!) then this is it! Your search stops here! Drop any questions you may have in the comments and I am happy to answer. 🏖️

If you are doing Disney World, this is an easy clo If you are doing Disney World, this is an easy close by dinner to slip into one of your nights that will have you saying: “why didn’t we come here sooner?!?” (Ad) 🍝 

Simply Capri is just outside the parks and feels like a calm reset from the chaos of the day. Soft lighting, relaxed pace, and an authentic Italian menu where everything feels familiar in the best way. (Their pizza oven was sent over FROM Italy!) 🍕 

Enjoy cocktails on the patio or dessert under the soft lighting after dark. It still feels like part of your vacation, just with a slower rhythm and high quality delicious food. 

Save this reel for a night when you want a break from park food but still want something near by!! 🇮🇹

I’ll be honest… I sometimes find beach resorts kin I’ll be honest… I sometimes find beach resorts kind of repetitive.(ad)

Beach. Pool. Restaurant. Repeat.

But @margaritavillefortmyers surprised me. 🎉

What made it stand out wasn’t just the beautiful beach. It was the little things. A pool we kept coming back to, a location that made everything easy, sunsets right on property, spacious rooms, and that sweet spot of being family friendly without feeling like a kid-focused resort.

It ended up being one of those trips where we were already talking about coming back before we even left. I want one of you to experience this feeling for yourself, sssooooo….

🎉 Now YOU could be gifted a 2-night stay! 🚨 (closed, winner announced in stories 6/6)
