Pretty Girls

February 9, 2011 | Uncategorized

Happy hump day! It is clouding up here, supposed to rain later. Boo! I hope it doesn’t rain tomorrow, I was planning on doing my last run before the race then. I am going to do the elliptical today. REALLy trying to force myself to cross train more.  Today was been a different day. My mom and I dropped my puppies off for LONG overdue haircuts, and we got the oil changed in my car and went to lunch and shopping. My babies look SO pretty! It’s fascinating to me how different they look before and after their haircuts! It’s like two different dogs. They are so precious though. Take a look!

Sassy before and after. We call her Eeyore for a reason. She always looks so depressed.

 

Bella Before and after.

 

Aren’t they CUTE?!? Here are a few I took with my phone in the car.

 

 

Also, I was honored the other day by Karen as a Stylish Blogger! Also, I was awarded this same award back in January and forgot to blog about it. That one was given by Sher. Thanks so much ladies! Yall are too sweet.

Here are the Rules for the Stylish Award:

-Make this a post and link back to the person who gave the award to you
-Share 7 things about yourself
-Award 5 great bloggers.
-Contact the bloggers to tell them they’ve won!

Ok 7 things about me…

1.) I am deathly afraid of snakes, lizzards and frogs. Even the little ones. You get near me with one, I may karate chop you.

2.) I really struggle with eating veggies. I just don’t like them! I have gotten a lot better than I used to be, but still can’t eat salad!

4.) I met my husband playing against him in a volleyball tournament in college. His team kicked our butts but I still let him take me out on a date.

5.) I require a lot of sleep. I try to get nine hours a night to function properly.

6.) My favorite store is Bed Bath and Beyond. I always say you could close your eyes and buy me anything from there and I would be happy!

7.) I have had mononucleosis, chicken pox, my wisdom teeth out, my tonsils and adnoids out, and had surgery to remove a fibroid, and the swine flu, but have never broken a bone other than possibly a toe in HS playing sports (but we aren’t sure.)

Sorry I am not all that interesting. That’s the best I can do!

There are so many bloggers that deserve this award I can’t just pick 5, so I am picking no one.

QOTD: Any interesting facts about yourself you would like to share with the class?

    Besides the year when I was five and had pneumonia, chicken pox, and was diagnosed with asthma, I haven’t been all that sick in my life. But, I did break my humerus (upper arm bone under your bicep), which is a pretty dreadful bone to break since it holds up your entire arm. I’m not really very afraid of snakes, lizards, and frogs, but I think I would literally die of fright if a real live hairy rat touched me. Seriously. I’m petrified of them.

    I’ve had the chicken pox, stitches in my hand after I sliced it open washing a knife, and brain surgery…oh and a child. 😉

  3. Jen says

    February 9, 2011 at 3:48 pm

    Aww they look SO cute!

    And it really depresses me that I have you beat on the surgery front 🙁 But so cool for working at your dream job. Not many people can say that!

      February 9, 2011 at 3:50 pm

    It’s so awesome that you are working in your dream job! Disney is my boyfriend’s favorite place in the world, so when we plan our next trip, I’ll let you know!

    I always feel like I can’t think of anything interesting when people ask me to share – haha! I think the thing people like hearing about most are my crazy childhood antics. I loved the stage and wanted to be a star! I acted in community theater and all the school plays. They make for funny home videos!

    • Heather says

      February 10, 2011 at 9:33 am

      I feel the same way. I had a very normal boring childhood so my facts arent too exciting!
      yes let me know I would bemore than happy to help plan and book for Disney 🙂

    aww that’s a nice way to meet your hubby! I don’t like whales, that’s what i’m afraid of i guess, but it’s highly unlikely that i’ll come in contact with one so i’m all set. Random question I meant to ask you before, do you by any chance collect vinlymations? Good luck this weekend!

    • Heather says

      February 10, 2011 at 12:22 pm

      whales? LOL! I have never heard that one, but I guess it would be scary!
      No I don’t collect them. At marathon weekend I came SUPER close to getting the marathon one as a momento but I talked myself out of it!

      • Bethany says

        February 10, 2011 at 12:25 pm

        HA! good girl talking yourself out of it! Ryan bought ONE marathon weekend 2010 and now we own over 60 of them….

        • Heather says

          February 10, 2011 at 12:29 pm

          OMG are you serious! thats awesome! I think they are super cute, if only I had the $$ to start collecting!

Each one includes fun, colorful activities across math, language arts, science, and social studies, and it only takes 2 pages a day to stay on track. ✏️📚

I used to think dairy-free desserts were “just o I used to think dairy-free desserts were “just okay.” Like, fine in a pinch… but never something I craved. 👀

But then this little picnic happened—just me, my girl, and a sweet treat we both loved enough to fight over the last bite. 😅

We’ve been trying to be more mindful with food choices lately (especially with summer travel coming up), and I grabbed these So Delicious treats at Kroger kind of on a whim. The new packaging caught my eye, but it was the taste that totally surprised us. Creamy. Indulgent. No weird aftertaste. And no, we’re not fully dairy-free—and we still loved them.

It’s one of those little swaps that doesn’t feel like giving anything up.

And that? That’s a win for both of us. ✨@So_Delicious

🚨 Homeschool decision!! If you have been aroun 🚨 Homeschool decision!!

If you have been around here since Christmas time, then you know we pulled Emma Kate out of her private school after the first semester and put her in a hybrid homeschool for the spring. The main reason being we wanted more absences than the school allowed. 

What is a hybrid? In our case, she went to a school all day 3 days a week, and we taught her at home two days a week. 

It seemed like the best of both worlds, not having absences count since we were also her teachers, being able to stay home some, sleep in, and travel. 

Well, it wasn’t all rainbows and butterflies. For one, the school we sent her to ended up not being what we thought. We were told being absent wouldn’t be a problem, but it became clear very early on her teacher was not a fan and she was not kind or accommodating to Emma Kate. There’s a lot of other reasons we didn’t blown the school I won’t go into. (If you are local and considering hybrid feel free to dm me and I will share my concerns and grievances.)

Teaching your kid is hard. There were lots of tears and frustrations, and she got bored since Bobby and I also work from home/I’m not a stay at hoke mom. We couldn’t just sit with her all day and teach her with our crazy long hours owning two businesses. 

It was tough to keep a schedule and while getting to travel a lot was great, she didn’t thrive on not having a routine and struggled with the randomness of everything.

She is also a very social only child who missed her friends and also wants to play sports for her school.

 In the end while there were a lot of pros to hybrid homeschool, the cons outweighed them for us so we are returning to her old school in the fall. 

Am I glad we did it? Yes! I always would have wondered otherwise and now we know. We will still be pulling her out of school some to travel in the fall, just not as much. 

If you have any questions feel free to drop them in the comments below and I will be happy to answer the best I can! 🩷
