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…

Snow tubing… indoors… in the Smokies! ❄️⛰️ #sponso Snow tubing… indoors… in the Smokies! ❄️⛰️ #sponsored

Pigeon Forge Snow is the perfect family activity no matter the time of year: real snow, comfy temps, and endless winter fun even in the middle of summer. From tubing and snow forts to sweet treats at the candy bar, this is one spot my kid never wants to leave.

Plus, it’s just minutes from Dollywood, the Titanic Museum, and Dolly’s Stampede, so it fits right into any Smoky Mountain trip.

❄️ Save this for your holiday trip to the Smokies, and comment the word Snow and I will send you my exclusive discount code right to your inbox!

So many people I know follow and like posts and st So many people I know follow and like posts and stories from content creators, but when it’s people they know in real life….forget about it. All of the sudden, we just don’t need or deserve the support. We just get lurkers. 💔 

Women, I encourage you in 2026 to find a table where women champion other women. And I encourage all the ladies here to be a girl’s girl. There is room for everyone, and we ALL need a little support, even those that look like they have it all together. 

Let’s commit to helping each other on AND offline. A simple smile, an “I love your dress” or “your kid did great in the school play” or “hang in there, you got this!” Goes a long way. 

I will never understand people going out of their way to intentionally bypass a person online or in real life. People matter. It’s a tough time of year for a lot of people, so let’s all act like the friends we claim to be and be there for each other however we can. ❤️

This one is great for busy folks who want to make a “special” drink without too much fuss. 🎄 

It’s literally just water frozen in the bottom of a glass with some rosemary taped in it. I waited a few hours the poured in some Prosecco and added in edible glitter (you can use multiple colors!) pretty and delicious, and keeps your drink cold! Cheers! 🥂 ❄️
