Christmas is also my mom’s birthday, so that night we celebrate! Fun fact: Her name is Mary, and her mom wanted it to be spelled “Merry”, but the nurse messed up and spelled it “Mary” (thank GOODNESS!)

      For now I am hanging it on the wall in place of a wedding photo (haha) but I eventually want it over the fireplace!

    Your house looks beautiful as always! I like how your parents put their tree in the middle of the room. We traditionally put ours in a corner or against a wall, but I like the idea of it being so open. This way everyone can literally gather around the tree!
    Glad you had a great holiday!
    PS: You look good holding that baby!

    We played Guesstures at my sister’s house on Christmas day, too. I had never played before, and it was so much fun. We were all laughing so hard!

YES I was dancing, eating mac and cheese from the YES I was dancing, eating mac and cheese from the kids menu, and singing “Let it Go” with a butter knife while wearing Mickey ears on our Disney cruise. 🚢 

When I was 12, I was worried a lot… worried about failing, scared of what people would think of me, and of not fitting in or being “cool”. 
I turned 40 this year and have been spending time trying to figure out exactly who I really am with all expectations stripped away. I don’t love the term “finding yourself”, but here I feel like it fits. ✨

Maybe finding yourself means going back to being 12.… and being myself without being scared. Heather at 12 would never believe this version of me… but I think she’d be proud. 💛✨

Emma Kate turned 11 last month during our sailing and we did so many birthday things! She got a ton of “happy birthday’s” from crew and guests to make it extra special. ✨

👉🏻For a link to the birthday ears she wore (they have lots of colors and variations!) comment “EARS” and I will send it to you!

Not sure how this happened, but time snuck up on me and now I have an 11 year old. 🥹
We couldn’t think of a more fun place to celebrate that on Castaway Cay, Disney’s private island in the Bahamas.

She started the day with presents, then hours and hours in the sun on the island, followed by cake and singing at dinner, the tween club, and fireworks at sea! (They were for pirate night but we said they were birthday fireworks!) 

Happy birthday to the most fierce, kind, competitive, loyal, funny, and beautiful little girl I know. 🩷 Never change who you are and stop growing up so fast! So. Blessed to have the best title there is, Emma Kate’s mom. 💖

✨ Recovery isn’t just for the pros. (Ad) I’ ✨ Recovery isn’t just for the pros. (Ad)

I’ve been adding Incrediwear’s circulation socks and sport socks into my training routine, and they’ve helped me recover faster, reduce soreness, and keep my legs fresh for long runs. 
Unlike compression, Incrediwear products actually increase blood flow, which means more oxygen + nutrients where your body needs it most.

And it’s not just athletes who benefit. My dad’s had two knee replacements, and the Incrediwear knee sleeves help him manage swelling, restore mobility, and feel comfortable moving again.

From world-class athletes like LeBron James and Steph Curry to everyday runners (and even my dad!), Incrediwear makes recovery accessible to everyone. 🏃‍♀️💪
