July 11, 2012 | Uncategorized

Good morning! Sad day. Traveling home from the beach. I know I always say this but it went by so fast!!! It was a fun way to spend my birthday week. Still a bit spooked my birthday falls on Friday the 13th this year!

So how many of you signed up for the Disney Princess half yesterday?!? If you will remember, I had a blast running this years race and hope I am able to go back next year.

Did you know what Disney expects over 28,000 runners for this years event? It’s a great year to run, too. You see, it’s the fifth anniversary of the race. Disney loves doing special medals on anniversary years!

The 5k will be the Mickey and Minnie mouse royal 5k, what a fun theme! There will also be kids races and the fit for a princess health and fitness expo. You don’t want to miss this! Mark your calendars for February 22-24 2013 and register now to join in the fun!

Also don’t forget I have a discounted group rate available for booking! Email me at heather@travelwiththemagic.com for details!

QOTD: who is your favorite Disney princess and why?

    I soooooo want to do this! Question is the money to do it and travel and all. Can’t I just win the lottery so I can run races and travel all the time? Haha!

    I want to run this so badly, I just don’t know if money will allow it. Jasmine’s my favorite princess and she’s in all the ads, so I’m thinking it’s basically a sign!!

    I am hoping to go! I am waiting to see what my husband’s school schedule looks like. I have never been to Disney World, and we were hoping to make a vacation out of it.

One of my favorite time (and money) savers? Grabbing a gift card at Kroger for one of our favorite spots (Zaxby’s for us!) and clipping the digital coupon for 4X fuel points. 

That means dinner is DONE and I’m saving at the pump. Total win-win! 👏🏼 These gift cards are also perfect for teacher gifts, last-minute summer outings, or a first-day celebration meal. Smart moms know — gift cards give back 💡

BACKSTORY TIME! 🚘 I drove the same Toyota 4Ru BACKSTORY TIME! 🚘 

I drove the same Toyota 4Runner for 14 1/2 years. Last October, we got a good deal on a Highlander platinum with 10,000 miles on it from @foxtoyota. 

The only problem is, I wanted the Grand Highlander platinum, because it has way more cargo room, legroom, and some other features that the regular Highlander doesn’t have. I thought that’s what we were getting, but it wasn’t available and we ended up with the regular Highlander, which don’t get me wrong, I was very grateful for after driving the same car for so long.

However, as the months went on, the differences were very noticeable, especially with how much we travel and the lack of space. Without me knowing, Bobby had been doing research and working with the wonderful folks at Fox, and was able to find us a brand new Grand Highlander platinum. 

He had hoped it would arrive for my birthday, but it was a couple weeks late, which was totally worth it. He’s usually really bad at surprising me (my 40th birthday party a couple weeks ago was supposed to be a surprise, but I found out.) so I was truly in shock and speechless when I came home and this new car, which we named Ruby, was in the garage!

@bobbymontg may not be the most romantic guy, but he shows his love in ways that he knows I appreciate. Best birthday gift ever! 🩷

ad ✨Back-to-school gift hack you’ll actually w ad ✨Back-to-school gift hack you’ll actually want to do! 🎁✏️ 

While grabbing a few things at Walgreens, I picked up a Kohl’s gift card and turned it into the cutest teacher gift — a mason jar wrapped in ribbon, full of pencils with a tag that says “This year is going to be on point.” 🎯 

It’s simple, thoughtful, and super practical — because who doesn’t love a gift they can actually use? 

Walgreens makes it so easy to grab @incommpayments gift cards for everyone on your back-to-school list — from teachers to even yourself (because let’s be real, moms need a win too 😉).
