Birthday Photos, My Volleyball Hero, and Giveaway Winners

July 18, 2014 | family, fitness, holidays

Last Sunday was my birthday, and I was lucky enough to get to spend it at my parents house with my family, and my friend Karen and her husband Jason were in town for my baby shower, so it made it even more fun!

Bobby decorated with the same posters we use every year…

The four of us friends went to the Broke Egg for breakfast, a tradition whenever they come into town.

ASICS has posted a training tips blog post featuring Kerri Walsh Jennings! She is my favorite volleyball player, and has some great tips! Currently, there are two exercises, with a video for each.  2-3 new videos will be published each week leading up to the 2014 ASICS World Series of Beach Volleyball on July 22nd through July 27th where Kerri will be competing. The first two videos lean a bit towards volleyball, but there will be more videos shortly that are applicable to general fitness.

Also, ASICS is hosting a giveaway for an ASICS training gear package!

    Looks like a great birthday! I love cake in all shapes and sizes, so I don’t have to have a specific one each year, but I do love a good funfetti, red velvet or strawberry cake.

    That cake looks delicious! My grandmother makes me a home made strawberry shortcake for my birthday every year. Although she’s not baking much anymore so I might just have to make it together with her from now on. But that’s ok 🙂 I hope you had a wonderful birthday and have a great weekend!

    Yum! That cake looks amazing! My family usually gets me the chocolate ganache cake from Publix. I’m a sucker for anything with a creamy chocolate icing on it!

Don’t Forget! Father’s Day is just around the Don’t Forget! Father’s Day is just around the corner, and my daughter and I have been on the hunt for the perfect gift for her dad. 💙 (ad)

She wanted something “cool and strong like him” — and we found the Victorinox I.N.O.X. Automatic at Reeds Jewelers in Knoxville… it checked every box. ✅

This isn’t just any watch — it’s crafted in Switzerland, designed to handle anything life throws at it, and looks amazing doing it. Basically, it’s Dad in a watch. 😉

🔹 Built in Victorinox’s own Swiss factory for ultimate quality
 🔹 Strong, sleek design inspired by the iconic Swiss Army Knife™
 🔹 Anti-magnetic quartz movement = always reliable
 🔹 Available in 41MM Automatic or 32MM Quartz

There’s still time to find something meaningful (and practical!) for the guy who does it all. Check it out locally at Reeds in Knoxville — and maybe bring the kids along to help choose. 🥰@victorinoxnorthamerica

Just when we thought @countrycascadeswaterparkreso Just when we thought @countrycascadeswaterparkresort couldn’t get any better… they unveiled Braxton Beaver’s Shipwreck Bay! 🏴‍☠️💦

 Our daughter had a blast exploring the pirate-themed indoor waterpark, complete with thrilling slides, a zero-entry splash pad, and the expansive Bayside Lagoon for endless swimming fun. 🐠🌊

 While the kids play, parents can unwind in the spacious  warming spa. You can even rent a cabana or order food! 

And with comfy rooms, delicious dining options, and even duckpin bowling on-site, it’s the perfect family getaway any time of year! 🛏️🍕🎳

It’s been one month since my Virgin Voyages crui It’s been one month since my Virgin Voyages cruise and I’m still confused why no one is cooking gourmet food for me, or bringing me cocktails all day long. 😩

I had a super comfy bed with real cabin space, a tablet to control the lights, TV and curtains (I felt like a queen), and don’t even get me started on the food—every meal was ✨a moment.✨

Now I’m home reheating leftovers and wondering why my house doesn’t have mood lighting and a spa within walking distance.

10/10 would get spoiled again. 💅
