For the 3rd year in a row we took Emma Kate to @do For the 3rd year in a row we took Emma Kate to @dollywood on her birthday. The weather was gorgeous and we had a great time! 🎉 

It was the first weekend of the Harvest festival and great pumpkin Luminights, and gosh I love those pumpkins! we are actually going back this weekend since we didn’t get to see everything all lit up at night. 🎃 

The festival runs through October, and on top of beautiful decorations, you can enjoy watching skilled craftsmen, create things, eat festival, food from the food booths, and of course, ride all the rides and see all the shows !

⭐️ Going to Disney next month like we are? I’ve got some tips for you to help make your trip more enjoyable! Check them out below:

1.) Dress for heat: I know in most places around the country, October and pumpkins and falling leaves means cooler temperatures… But not in Orlando. It will still be plenty warm enough to swim, and miserably hot by 1 o’clock in the afternoon. Plan accordingly by hitting the parks in the mornings and in the evenings taking a break mid day to go to the pool or rest in the air condition. 🥵 

2.) Bring some fun fall/ Halloween outfits. The parks are decked out, especially Magic Kingdom, so it’s a great time to get some cute fall themed family photos. I know it’s hot, but just embrace it. 🎃 

3.) Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween party will be going on several nights of the week. It is a separate ticket event, and sold out for the season I believe. It’s a super fun event, but tickets are really expensive. A lot of people decide to not do a park that day, and just do the party that night. And people not going to the party choose not to go to the Magic Kingdom, since they can’t stay there all day, and will be kicked out at seven. For me, this is perfect, and we actually choose to go to the Magic Kingdom on these party days for the lower crowds. If we want to go somewhere in the evening, we just Park hop, so make sure you have park hopper tickets if that something you want to do. 🏰 

4.) The Food & Wine Festival is also going on at Epcot in October, and it’s a lot of fun. However, a lot of people choose to go on the weekends, especially in the evenings to eat around the world. I recommend going to Epcot during the week if you can for lower crowds in the World Showcase. 🥘 

Have a great time! If you are there the second week of October, maybe we will see each other! ♥️

#ad Sleep Better, Live Better! Did you know that g #ad Sleep Better, Live Better! Did you know that getting good quality sleep is super important to your health? It can help with your mood, weight loss, and even preventing certain illnesses!* Sometimes I struggle to fall asleep and stay asleep, so I have been implementing a routine to help!

 Tip 1: Stick to a regular sleep schedule. Consistency is the key to blissful slumber! Set a bedtime and wake-up time that matches your body's natural rhythm, and watch the magic of quality sleep unfold. 

Tip 2: Create a relaxing routine - unwind and let go of the day's worries with a bedtime ritual. Read a book, take a soothing bath, or indulge in calming meditation – all guaranteed to pave the way for dreamland. (But stay off screens!)

 Tip 3: Take Sleep 3 Gummies from @naturesbounty. Meet your secret weapon for a snooze-a-thon! Nature's Bounty Sleep3 gummies are a delicious, natural way to support your sleep journey. These drug free gummies contain both quick-release and time-release melatonin to keep you snoozing. Plus, they're enriched with L-Theanine, the calming amino acid found in green tea!

Last night as I told Emma Kate good night for the Last night as I told Emma Kate good night for the last time as an 8 year old, I told her how fast it was all going. She said “mom, everyone has to grow up.” 😭

But I’m just not ready. We are in such a fun stage, and I love that she still wants to dress like me. Hold my hand. Snuggle with me at night. I know it won’t last and it kills me.

I remember 9 years ago tonight. I was so nervous I didn’t sleep. I was being induced the next morning and I knew my whole life was about to change. How can you sleep knowing you were about to meet a little person that you would be in charge of for 18 years? 

I had no idea what I was getting myself into. It’s hard to imagine a future when you are doing something brand new. It has been way harder than I ever anticipated, but also so much more rewarding. I wish I could go back and tell 9 years ago Heather that it was all going to be ok.

That we would go through some really hard stuff, but we would do it together. Our little unit of 3 would make it, even if we had to learn on the fly, and even if we made some mistakes. With a lot of prayer and help from family and friends, we could do it. 

So happy birthday bug. We love you bigger than the sky, and are loving celebrating you all weekend. When you are running the world one day, don’t forget about mom and dad. ❤️
