Making a House a Home Part II

April 5, 2011 | Uncategorized

 

Hey everyone! We survived the crazy storms last night and today it’s beautiful out! I am going to have to get out for a run later. So I did level 2 of 6 weeks to 6 pack and I am so sore today! How am I supposed to do the DVD five times a week if I can barely move today?

Quick Disney update…Summer discounts are out for deluxe resorts and villas. between 25-30% off! If you are looking to go 4/22-8/13, contact me! heather AT travelwiththemagic DOT com for a free quote. Just a reminder, my services are FREE for you to use!

So as promised, I have more house pictures for you. Once again, everything is not how I want it, but it’s at least unpacked!

one dog sleeps on the floor and one in the big bowl chair.

This room is huge but we have all old crappy hand me down furniture except for our bed. One day I will have nice furniture!

I took some outside pictures on a beautiful day.

I bleeped out my address….you don’t need that, unless you want to send me free products or money. In that case I will gladly give it to you!

We are enjoying this beautiful spring weather and I have been hanging out outside a lot! Trying to soak in all the nice weather I can before it gets insanely hot and humid!

Off to do some work and then hopefully going for a run later!

QOTD: Are you going on vacation this summer? where? Let me help!

    Your house is beautiful!! My family and I are trying to plan a vacation this summer for somewhere on the cape – my parents always leave it to the last minute, it drives me nuts!

    I love your house…its very pretty! My family custom-built our house a few years ago, and after many trips to home showcases, home improvement stores, and studying hundreds of house plans, I really appreciate unique architecture and design! 🙂

    Your house is so pretty! I love the hardwood floors in the bedroom.

    My family is renting a beach house in July so I’m hoping I can go. Then I have weddings to attend in Michigan and Maine. Not typical summer vacation places but I’m still excited!

    Your house is beautiful! I know what it’s like to want to decorate like crazy, but not have the funds. However, slowly but surely things will happen. Until then, I just watch HGTV and drool…

#Ad #Align_Probiotic_Partner I started noticing li #Ad #Align_Probiotic_Partner
I started noticing little signs during my normal day. Just occasional bloating, gas, and that slightly “off” feeling. So instead of ignoring it, I listened. I slowed down, moved more consistently, and added Align Probiotic to my routine.

It’s one capsule a day and the #1 doctor-recommended probiotic brand for over 15 years‡. I started taking Align to help relieve my occasional gas, bloating, and stomach discomfort* and now I feel more comfortable moving through my day. @alignprobiotic

And now… it finally will be. 🤍

We’re not leaving Tennessee, just making a local move that puts us closer to my daughter’s school, closer to our day-to-day life, and honestly closer to the version of life I’ve been hoping for since we moved here. (Aka not so much time in the car!) 

Still Knoxville. New chapter. Lots of boxes. Please pray. 🏡📦

Between dogs, snacks that never make it to a plate, and whatever is happening in my entryway on a daily basis… I needed something that could actually keep up in one go. This one’s been doing the heavy lifting so I’m not doing 12 different cleanups for the same mess. 

Life doesn’t happen in neat, single-surface moments. From pet hair to crumbs to tracked-in grass, real homes have layered messes. The BISSELL PowerClean DualBrush™ is designed to handle it all in one pass without switching tools or going over the same spot twice. 

Promotion: List Price $359.99, on sale for $259.99 ($100 off) from 4/5–5/30. Limited time only, don’t miss it. Link in bio to shop while the deal lasts 👀

I clipped the 4x fuel points digital coupon on the Kroger app, grabbed a Mastercard gift card at Kroger, and turned a quick errand into a little win-win situation by adding in a handmade colored card and personalized note. She gets to pick exactly what she wants. 💛 

I get 4X fuel points while I’m already out running around (because of course I am). Simple, thoughtful, and honestly kind of perfect. 
Head to your local Kroger, clip the coupon, and grab a Visa or Mastercard gift card, but the offer is only good through May 12! Link is in my bio!

Disney dads aren’t born… they’re created one character meal at a time. 🏰 

Tag a Disney dad in your life! (Maybe one you helped create? 😂👀)

#ZbarPartner I know these days won’t last forever, #ZbarPartner I know these days won’t last forever, so I’m soaking up every driveway game, every laugh, every little break in the grass. 🤍 

Lately our go-to has been Zbar Protein Snack Bars, especially the new Strawberries ‘N Creme flavor that is made with organic whole grain oats, real fruit, and protein to help support growing kids. It’s a snack she loves and I feel good about too. 

It’s a great little reset so she can get right back to doing what she does best, playing her heart out 💕

Getting older, I started noticing my hair wasn’t q Getting older, I started noticing my hair wasn’t quite the same. A little more thinning, my scalp hasn’t felt the same, and I’ve spent more time just throwing it up into a ponytail, and honestly not giving it much thought beyond that. 🤷🏻‍♀️

So I started becoming more intentional about actually taking care of my hair and scalp, and it’s such a small shift, but it really does make me feel better.

I’ve been using Mochi Health’s personalized hair support options, which makes it easier to stay consistent instead of guessing what to use. It fits into my routine and finally feels like I’m doing something proactive for myself instead of just hiding it in a bun. Check out the link in my bio for $40 off your first month.
