It’s Dumbo Double Dare Time!

August 29, 2013 | Disney, fitness, runDisney, running, tips, Travel

It’s today! It’s today! Bobby and I leave for Disneyland today to run the runDisney Dumbo Double Dare!! I cannot believe it’s been a YEAR since we were there, time sure does fly.

I am however so glad this year there is no hurricane changing our travel plans. Talk about a stressful day! This year, we have a non stop flight woo hoo!

Ok, so a few reminders about the race weekend for those following along:

-I will be posting updates via my social media platforms: Instagram, Twitter, Facebook.

-You can track runners thanks to runDisney! Just head over to runner tracking to look up athletes.

-Need tips for the race weekend? Check out this post I wrote a couple weeks ago.

disneyland half tips

-Not sure where to eat while in Disneyland? I wrote a post about that, too!

-Panicked because you aren’t packed yet and you leave TODAY? I have a packing vlog for you!

-I will be attending the pre race meet up on Friday morning at 6:00 PST. I will be live tweeting and instagraming during the event, be sure to follow #DisneylandHalfMeetUp so you don’t miss the fun!

–Allison Sweeney of Biggest Loser and soap opera fame is running the half marathon, so if you are there, be on the lookout! I’m sure she will be at the expo, too!

-If you happen to see me at the expo or in the parks or at the race, PLEASE PLEASE say hello to me! I have had people tell me in an  email they saw me but were too scared to come say hello. Makes me so sad! I love, love, love meeting readers and fellow runners. Come talk to me!

✨ This is what radiance looks like ✨ #ad Sin ✨ This is what radiance looks like ✨ #ad 

Since turning forty, I’ve been all about simple changes that help me feel strong, healthy, and confident — inside and out. 

Adding Organixx Collagen to my coffee each morning has been one of the easiest ways to support my skin, hair, and joints while juggling busy mom life. It blends right in and makes me feel like I’m doing something good for myself every single day. 

Because for me, it’s not just about looking good — it’s about feeling my best, staying active, and showing up for the people and moments that matter most. 
Radiance starts from within, and @organixxco helps make it part of my everyday routine.

🤩Use code HMONTGOMERY to save 10%! Link is in my bio.

What did I miss/forget?😆

I turned 40 today. 🎉 Hitting a milestone like t I turned 40 today. 🎉 Hitting a milestone like this has me reflecting—not just on what I’ve accomplished, but on who I’m becoming.

I’ve always been driven to achieve, to push, to prove. But lately, I’ve been learning to celebrate presence over performance, connection over perfection.

Today wasn’t about checking a box or hitting a goal—it was about pausing, feeling grateful, and eating a ridiculous amount of cake with people I love. And honestly? That feels like growth.

Here’s to 40: more aligned, more grounded, and still a little extra. 😉

Turning 40 tomorrow. 🎂 Big milestones always Turning 40 tomorrow. 🎂 

Big milestones always make me pause and ask:
What am I proud of?
What needs to shift?
Am I becoming the woman I want to be?

💡 As an Enneagram 3, I’ve always been wired to achieve — and for a long time, that meant shaping myself into whatever version I thought people would like best.

There are tables where it’s clear I’m not welcome — and that used to wreck me.
But at 40? I don’t do cliques. I don’t do shrinking or contorting to be accepted. 👀

I’ll always be kind. I’ll always be respectful. But I’m done dragging a chair to tables that were never built for me.

I’m moving over. Making space.
Creating my own table.

So went with Simple Modern. 🙌🏼

Their backpack, lunch box, and water bottle combo keeps us both happy: fun colors and styles she loves, and quality this mom can stand behind. Durable, easy to clean, and built to last the full school year (and beyond).

Let kids be kids—but let moms be smart. 😉
