Number 14

October 14, 2012 | Disney, Travel, Uncategorized

 

Hello friends! I am back on land. Well, I was back on land yesterday to be exact. We had a great time on the cruise, aside from slight motion sickness one night, and then being car sick for 6 hours on the way back to my parents house, no fun! To add to the fun, Bobby and I are running a half marathon this morning! Oh yes. We may be crazy. I ate whatever I wanted on the cruise, and feel like crap to prove it. (Hello sodium).  So, today’s goal is to have fun since Bobby is going to run with me. We really loved this race last year, so hopefully it will live up to the same expectations! I will have my race report up on Wednesday, so stay tuned. We are now back to regular scheduled blogging. Oh, and a huge shout out and thank you to all my guest bloggers. You guys rock!

Ok, it’s go time. Gulf coast half, here we go! Be sure to follow me on Twitter and my Facebook fan page for updates and photos before and after the race!

QOTD: Do you get motion sickness? I even had the patch on during the cruise and still got a little sick one night!

    My mom did a badass cruise from NYC to the UK and wore motion sickness/pressure point bracelets and was fine. (meanwhile, she gets seasick in the bathtub) Good Luck to you Heather! (and Bobby)

    I get motion sickness from swinging on a swing set. I’m motion sick just thinking about motion sickness.

    I get motion sickness on pretty much everything. However, I have used BONINE on several cruises, airplanes and roller coasters and have had NO issues. Bonus is it doesn’t make me tired… Try it next time!

🏖️ 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. 💛✨

Ever wondered what extra magic you can add for a b Ever wondered what extra magic you can add for a birthday onboard a @disneycruiseline ship? 🚢 

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. 😆

This is 11. ✨🎉 Not sure how this happened, b This is 11. ✨🎉

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. 💖
