Easter 2012

April 9, 2012 | family, fitness, running, Uncategorized

happy Better Monday! (Get it, Good Friday…better Monday?) Ok, so so not so funny. I tried. Either way, I hope your Easter weekend was a great one. Mine is still going, as Bobby is off work today instead of being off last Friday. Fine by me, three day weekend either way! Having the third day off makes a huge difference, don’t you think?

Here is a look at what our Easter weekend looked like…(and you can check out last year’s Easter Weekend, too.)

Saturday, we got up and went for a six mile run on the very steep bridge and back, and along the beach. it was windy, but a beautiful day, and we had a really good run. On the way home we stopped by a little farmer’s market.

Bobby bought some tomato plants to add to our garden, and we bought the most amazing garlic and olive oil flatbread. We put cheese on it and put it in the oven…oh so good!

That evening, we decided to go blackberry picking. It’s still a little early, but we were able to get some. We found a ton of them in both the empty lots next to us, so I know where I am going in about another week! (We got more than this, I just took the picture right when we started.)

We also visited with the Easter bunny. He couldn’t talk long, he said he had a very busy night ahead of him.

We planted the new tomato plants in the garden, and picked some flowers to put in vases in the house. I thought this one was really pretty.

We also did the traditional dying of the Easter eggs. If you know me at all you know I am all about traditions.

All done!

Yesterday morning, we went to church…and I was glad to be able to wear white shoes again.

HAPPY EASTER!

    That’s so cool that you guys dyed eggs! I haven’t dyed them in a long time. Looks like you had a fantastic Easter weekend, too!

    Looks like you guys had a great time! Our weekend was long with Friday off, and we went and saw The Hunger Games. Then Saturday I had a race (PR’d and got 3rd in my division!) and yesterday I spent the day at my aunt’s house stuffing my face. That, of course, led to a horrible night’s sleep and now I’m super tired at work!

    We don’t really celebrate Easter, plus we live pretty far from our families so we didn’t do anything. But I love your Easter outfit – it’s so perfect for spring!

    Looks like a fun Easter! I think I need to bring back the tradition of dyeing eggs! (Although, my family only stopped a few years ago!)

    I made Easter lunch for us and the neighborbors and then we hid eggs for the kids to find. It was such a beautiful day and I sat in the sun and soaked up the vitamin d.

🏖️ I’m so thankful my parents took us on tr 🏖️ I’m so thankful my parents took us on trips growing up. When I was young, we didn’t have a lot of money, but they made every weekend getaway or camping trip special, and I have so many great memories. 

We may not have gotten to travel often until I was a teenager, but we still had a blast, and they even took us to a @spectrumresorts  property! (Ad)

As an adult, I am so grateful to be able to return the favor. To see them laugh and play with my daughter like they did with me. It’s one of those special full circle moments, those core memories that will stay with me forever. 🥹

Staying at @turquoiseplaceofficial makes things so easy, too. The condos are huge and we easily all fit without being on top of each other. There’s plenty to do with pools, a waterslide, lazy river, the beach, movie nights, kids activities, food, and more. ✨

It truly is the perfect place for a multigenerational vacation. So if you are looking for a great place to go with your parents, grandkids, aunts, uncles, or cousins, this is it. 💖

And, you can save 10% on your stay by using my code LOOKGLASS in the promo box when you are booking, here or at @thebeachclubresortandspa! 🏖️ 

Have you taken a multigenerational vacation? Where did you go?

We take her on these trips and cruises hoping she’ll soak in the adventure, the beauty, and maybe even the food from places different from where we live… but to her, nothing beats a corn dog and mac & cheese. 🧀 

And honestly, that’s the best reminder for us, that joy doesn’t have to be fancy, it just has to be yours. 🛳✨

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!

IYKYK. I finally figured it out…the night before IYKYK. I finally figured it out…the night before we got off the ship. 😆

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. 💖
