runDisney 20th Anniversary Medal Reveal

August 14, 2012 | Uncategorized

 

Today is the big day! The official unveiling of the 20th anniversary Disney marathon medal. I hope everyone had fun participating in the great medal caper, I thought it was a really fun and cute way to get the fans involved. Check out this video I created then it’s on to the medal!

Please ignore the old out breath and red face, I had just run six miles in 90 something degree weather right before filming! As I mentioned in the video, I know they aren’t Olympic medals, but I am still so proud of all of my runDisney race bling!

Also, I cannot WAIT to add this medal to my stash in January! Here it is folks, the WDW marathon weekend 20th anniversary marathon medal!

What do you think? I love it, it’s so unique and different from my other Disney marathon medal. I love how it incorporates the past and the present. If this doesn’t make you want to sign up for the race I don’t know what will! Wait, actually…I do know what will, a discount! Check it out:

    Oh. My. Goodness!!!!!
    Love Love Love this medal. It looks amazing. The fact that it spins is one big factor of coolness, but it showcases the old, original black and white Mickey and the newer color Mickey. Epic coolness. I love the old and the new factor. Vibrant colors, yet a simplicity befitting of the Mouse himself. This definitely makes me want to sign up. I also plan to finally subscribe to yours and theirs YouTube channels. Loved the Caper, Loved the Reveal (runDisney AND runningwithsass!), Love the Medal! 🙂

    Hi Heather,

    that medal looks really cool, I love the simple yet elegant design. The Disney Marathon must be really amazing considering the location, and there is so much entertainment as well.

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! 🩷

Tucked away just outside of Gatlinburg, Alpine Hav Tucked away just outside of Gatlinburg, Alpine Haven was everything we wanted in a mountain getaway—and then some. ⛰️ 

This luxury cabin has 4 spacious bedrooms (including one with built-in bunks that my daughter loved) and 4 full bathrooms, making it perfect for a family trip or group vacation.

We spent our days soaking in the hot tub with mountain views, lounging on the deck by the fireplace with coffee in hand, and playing pool in the game room. 

The cabin even has its own private sauna and steam room—YES, really! It felt like a full-on spa experience right in the woods. ✨ 

And one of the best surprises? It has its own playground, which was a total hit with with daughter and such a bonus for keeping little ones entertained.

We were just minutes from downtown Gatlinburg, but honestly, we barely wanted to leave. If you’re planning a Smoky Mountains trip, Alpine Haven is that perfect mix of cozy, modern, and wow-worthy. 💫
