First Spring Weekend

March 8, 2016 | baby, blogging, family, fitness, running

Hey guys! I meant to do a weekend recap yesterday but wanted to get my Princess half recap up, so I am going a little out of order. We were blessed with some amazing spring weather this weekend, and we took full advantage of it!

Friday morning I went to boot camp and we spent some time outside running sprints. The sprints weren’t fun, but the sunshine was wonderful! I am finally starting to notice a difference in my muscle mass. Hooray for baby biceps!

Friday Emma Kate had daycare, so I worked and we just hung around the house that evening. Saturday morning we were in and out of the house walking up and down the street with Emma Kate. That girl LOVES to be outside.

After her nap, we took Emma Kate to the park to play on the playground and swing on the swings. We then headed to the yogurt shop to help out and do a couple of things, and it’s a good thing we stopped in because they were swamped! Everyone was apparently out enjoying the weather.

Saturday night Emma Kate must have been one worn out child because she slept until almost 8:30! We were running late for church because I didn’t want to wake her up.

After church we went to Five Guys and ate cheeseburgers outside, again enjoying the nice weather. Emma Kate did great and sat on the bench for most of the time and then just ran around a bit saying hi to everyone. We got some stuff at Fresh Market to grill that evening and went home for baby naps.

While the little one napped, I decided to go for a 5k training run, again, because…sunshine and warmth. One thing I forgot was that a cheeseburger and fries is NOT great pre run fuel and I was HURTING during that run.

Silly girl slept for an hour 45 (who has kidnapped my child? She never sleeps this long!) and was in a great mood when she woke up.

Then it was up and down the sidewalk again until it was time to BBQ.

We had some wine and cooked some chicken and sausage and I got to use my new wine glass from marathon weekend.

We so very much enjoyed being outside and I think we were all worn out that night! I’m excited for daylight savings for the extra daylight but not looking forward to what it will do to the baby sleep schedule.

QOTD: What did you do this weekend?

There should be a support group for millennials wh There should be a support group for millennials who still think we’re the “young adults” in the room… until a casual conversation reminds us otherwise. 😭

Please tell me I’m not the only one who’s been personally victimized by the passage of time and a perky Gen Z girlie. 😂

Drop your most humbling “wait… I’m HOW old?” moment below.

I didn’t realize how much mental space hair removal was taking up until it just… wasn’t anymore. Between games, trips, and everything in between, having something I can do at home in minutes has been a total game changer. The app-guided treatments keep me consistent without having to think about it, and I’m already noticing smoother skin that actually lasts. And yes — the full-body, 10-minute-at-home situation still feels a little unreal. 

If you’ve been on the fence, Prime Day (June 14–27) is definitely the moment to check it out with $120 off. #BraunSmartIPL

We didn’t set out looking for a “perfect” trip… we We didn’t set out looking for a “perfect” trip… we just needed a break from the noise.
What we found in Florida was something better than that. #ad

Our first stop in Auburndale was all about slowing down in the best way. We stayed in a cozy tiny home at Camp Margaritaville (you can also stay in an RV!). We enjoyed coffee on the porch, our daughter loved the pool and waterslide (there is even a splash zone for the littles!), and at night we slowed things down with s’mores instead of screens. It felt like nature + comfort + family time all finally in the same place. They have so many other amenities like mini golf, golf cart rentals, pickleball, a playground, cornhole, and more. Nearby, we explored the Florida Children’s Museum and had incredible food and drinks at Smith’s American Tavern and Black & Brew Coffee. 

Then, we headed over to Fort Myers to experience a completely different side of the state. Shelling walks at sunrise, beach volleyball, pool cabanas, and the kind of Gulf sunsets that make everyone go quiet for a minute. Direct beach access at the Margaritaville Beach Resort Fort Myers made it effortless to go from “let’s check it out” to toes in the sand in minutes. There were several restaurants on property, so we never even got in our car. That plus live music, fire pits, the spa, and lawn games made it easy to want to stay put and relax.

What stood out most wasn’t just the scenery… it was how easy it was to actually be together here. No rushing or overplanning. That’s the true Floridays feeling for me. Laid-back, a little unexpected, and exactly what we didn’t know we needed. 🌴☀️

When the Smoky Mountain heat gets unbearable, we h When the Smoky Mountain heat gets unbearable, we head to Pigeon Forge Snow. ❄️ #sponsored 

One of our favorite family activities in Pigeon Forge because you can snow tube year-round, rain or shine, without worrying about the weather outside. 

My daughter could do the tubing hill over and over, and the indoor snow play area makes it even more fun. Honestly such a good break from the summer heat. Plus, it’s super close to nearby attractions like Dollywood and several mountain coasters.

Here is my favorite in park Disneyland character e Here is my favorite in park Disneyland character experience: The Plaza Inn character breakfast. Here are a few things to know:

✨ Meet Minnie before you even enter the restaurant and get photos with her + a photopass photographer. 
✨ Food is all you can eat. Minnie waffles, bacon, eggs, pastries, fruit, and more!
✨ Multiple characters visit your table throughout the meal.
✨ Reservations are a must and can book up quickly!

This was such a fun way to start a park day and meet several characters without spending part of the day waiting in character lines.

Getting in a walk or run when I can. Actually drinking my water. Sticking to a skincare routine instead of overthinking it. Paying attention to my hair and scalp instead of just throwing it up and moving on. Nothing extreme, just consistency in the basics.

I’ve also been using Mochi Health for personalized skincare and hair support, and it’s made it way easier to stay on track without guessing what my skin or hair needs.

If you want to try it, there’s $40 off your first month through the link in my bio. @joinmochi #joinmochi mochihealth
