Beach bound

July 9, 2011 | Uncategorized

 

Good morning everyone! I leave for the beach today with hubby and my parents! The dog/housesitter will be here in an hour and we are nowhere NEAR ready to go! So I have to make this quick! I have a few guest posts lined up for you so please come back and share some love for them ok?

I will be back on on birthday on Wednesday, with lots of fun beach pictures and stories (hopefully) to share!

mommy please don’t leave me!

————————————————–

so running…yeah, my knee hurts this morning. bleh! going to take it easy on the trip, maybe run 1-2 times easy and short mileage, but that’s it. I have got to get this thing well so I can get back to training. I was starting to get faster/stronger and I don’t want to lose that! Off to foam roll and then pack, have a great weekend everyone!

QOTD: Would you rather have a chance encounter with a snake or a dog on a run?

    Have fun!! I’m going to the beach next week. I’ve not been in 6yrs!! I’ve encountered snakes and dogs alot. Yesterday I stopped to fix my ipod and I looked down and there was a 3 foot blacksnake! That’s the 3rd one I’d seen this summer. I run alot at the State park with lots of trails. When I run on the roads I get chased by dogs. Once it was a rotweiler(cant spell)! So, I prefer neiither, but as bad as the snakes scare me, I feel like the dogs could harm me first. I only have to deals with the snakes in summer, the dogs are yearlong.

If you’re new here, I figured an introduction was If you’re new here, I figured an introduction was overdue. 👋

I’m Heather. Wife, mom, content creator, trip planner, snack purchaser, basketball chauffeur, and personal assistant to two Goldendoodles who contribute absolutely nothing to the household.

I live in east Tennessee with my husband Bobby, my daughter Emma Kate, and our dogs Dolly and Luna.

Around here you’ll find a little bit of everything:
✈️ Family vacations
❤️ Couples getaways
🌎 The occasional solo adventure
🏀 Sports mom life
🏡 Home and household finds
🍽️ Food, recipes, and restaurants
🛍️ Products I genuinely use and love

Basically, if it’s making our lives easier, more fun, more organized, more luxurious, or creating memories, there’s a good chance I’ll be sharing it.

If you’re here for basketball content, travel ideas, home finds, dog content, or just the chaos of trying to do it all, welcome. You’re my kind of people.

You can also follow Emma Kate’s basketball journey at @theprincessEK and keep an eye out for appearances from Dolly and Luna, who are convinced this account belongs to them anyway. (They have their own IG @ourdoodledolly!) 

Or if you just want mom life basketball content, you can follow me at @heatherfromthebleachers where I post memes and funnies and being a sports parent. 

Now tell me about you. Where are you from, and what kind of content do you want to see more of? 👇

So it’s actually today…HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME! 🎉 Ju So it’s actually today…HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME! 🎉 
July 13th happens to be a pretty great day if you ask me. 😜

Today I’m 41. I’m not a fan of odd numbers so I’m not sure yet how I feel about this year. 😆

I will say I am always very reflective on my birthday. I’m grateful for every year God has given me, and know how blessed I am to have even made it to 41. Each day is truly a gift, and I don’t always live or act like it. As someone who is “over the hill,” I find myself wanting to soak it all in and slow it all down more and more, but it just keeps getting faster and faster! 🫣

Here’s to another go around, and hopefully to many, many more. 🥂

I was told @alaninutrition drinks wouldn’t make go I was told @alaninutrition drinks wouldn’t make good slushies in my new @ninjakitchen slushi. Challenge accepted. 🙋🏻‍♀️

While it’s true you need sugar to make a good slush and Alani energy drinks are lacking here, with an easy modification (fruit juice!) I got it to work, and boy was it delicious on a hot July day! ☀️ 

It was a fun, summery special occasion drink! What flavor combos should I try next? Hawaiian shaved ice + pineapple juice was so good! It was so easy I want to do it again! 🥤
