Sorry Officer….What Did You Say?

August 3, 2013 | Uncategorized

Some random happenings in my world lately….

A couple weeks ago when Bobby and I were coming home from my parents house, we were pulled over by the cops as we were getting onto a highway. We were so confused…We weren’t speeding…we had our seatbelts on….etc. Turns out, our new license plate was linked to the car of a MISSING PERSON! Apparently they recycled the tag back into the system even though the person hasn’t been found…how stupid. They cleared the tag in the system so it wouldn’t happen again, but it was so strange! Not sure if you can see the cop car behind us in the picture below.

For my birthday, Bobby got me something I have wanted for seven years. A Kitchen Aid stand mixer! I decided to be fun and go with the raspberry ice color and I absolutely love it.

I also bought this awesome chair form Target with some birthday money. Bella immediately jumped in it and it’s her new favorite. She gives it two paws up.

QOTD: Any noteworthy news to share? Do you have a kitchen aid mixer?

    I love the color of your Kitchen Aid Mixer. I’ve never seen that color before. I’ve seen the light pink, but never the raspberry. It’s beautiful!

    I do have a Kitchen Aid, a plain white one. It was a gift and I very rarely use it. It doesn’t fit in any of the cupboards, so it sits on top of our fridge like a piece of artwork,,,haha, because it rarely gets used. I love to bake though and usually just use my little hand mixer because it is more convenient and easier to clean.

      I hadn’t seen the color either so I knew I had to have that one!

    Love my Kitchen Aid mixer and use it all the time! You will love yours too and the color is really pretty!

    • Heather says

      August 4, 2013 at 1:08 pm

      thank you!

  5. Lesley says

    August 3, 2013 at 7:06 am

    I do! I love baking and it’s a must have

    I love the color of the mixer! My mom just bought me one for a wedding gift and I chose the Pitaschio color…I love how retro it looks in my kitchen…it reminds me of my grandma! 🙂

    • Kelly @ Laughter, Strength, and Food says

      August 3, 2013 at 7:17 am

      Ummm….that’s should say “pistachio”…typing from my phone! Ugh!

      • Heather says

        August 4, 2013 at 1:07 pm

        haha its ok!

    My parents bought me a Kitchenaid mixer for a wedding gift – 20 years ago! – because my mom said she’d had to wait so long for one, and she didn’t want me to have to wait! Mine is plain white, though…yours is prettier! 🙂

    • Heather says

      August 4, 2013 at 1:10 pm

      so glad you got one without having to wait!

  8. Ashley says

    August 3, 2013 at 7:17 am

    I LOVE my kitchen aide. My mom gave me hers from my parents wedding so its like 27 years old..but runs better than her fancy new silver one ,)

    • Heather says

      August 4, 2013 at 1:07 pm

      They last forever!

    I love my Kitchen Aid mixer. You can use it for so many things! Hope you enjoy yours! The color is pretty!

    • Heather says

      August 4, 2013 at 1:09 pm

      thanks glad I went with a fun color!

  10. Monica says

    August 3, 2013 at 6:27 am

    I’d love to get a Kitchen Aid mixer one day too! I’m like you, I would so get a fun color!! I love that chair-Target has the coolest stuff. That must have been a little scary when the cops pulled ya’ll over. Have a good weekend!!

    • Heather says

      August 4, 2013 at 1:09 pm

      Target really does have cute furniture at a good price!

  11. Carla says

    August 3, 2013 at 6:32 am

    How bizzare about the tags!!

    I love my Kitchenaid! I got one when I started decorating cakes about 10 years ago. I don’t do as many cakes now, but still use my Kitchenaid a lot! I started with a white one and a few years ago there was a super awesome sale (i.e. pricing error) on a brushed nickel one so I grabbed it quick. I use the brushed nickel one multiple times during the week! Have fun with your mixer- love the color!

    • Heather says

      August 4, 2013 at 1:08 pm

      thanks, I am having fun with it so far!

  12. Laura @losingrace says

    August 3, 2013 at 9:08 am

    I want that mixer so bad! I have always had my eye on it!

    That chair is super cute!

    I got pulled over one time because a cop heard a license plate number wrong when a stolen car was reported and thought it was me… that was fun

    • Heather says

      August 4, 2013 at 1:07 pm

      oh no!!

  13. Debbie @ Live from La Quinta says

    Love the Raspberry Ice color. So pretty. I’d love to have a Kitchen Aid mixer, but I am seriously space challenged in my kitchen already.

    • Heather says

      August 4, 2013 at 1:07 pm

      bummer!

  14. Lisa Jones says

    August 3, 2013 at 5:09 pm

    I love my KitchenAid! The attachments are great too, my favorite being the icecream bowl of course.

    • Heather says

      August 4, 2013 at 1:06 pm

      oohhh must get.

  15. April Jacobs says

    August 3, 2013 at 10:23 pm

    That’s scary! I don’t want to experience that. Anyway, it’s good that it was just part of the system checking out for errors in the records. Anyway, I have a kitchen aid mixer! I love it! 🙂

    • Heather says

      August 4, 2013 at 1:06 pm

      It was scary at first b/c we didn’t know what we did wrong!

  16. Britt @ BrittsRunningStyle says

    August 4, 2013 at 10:36 am

    I want a kitchen aid mixer too. I do enough baking to justify one! No noteworthy news here, but I love the raspberry color you chose! 🙂

    • Heather says

      August 4, 2013 at 1:05 pm

      thanks I love it!

    Beautiful chair! I have a KitchenAid mixer in blue that matches our towels, plates, etc. I love it! 🙂

    • Heather says

      August 4, 2013 at 1:05 pm

      oh fun!

  18. Crystal says

    August 5, 2013 at 3:26 am

    I love my kitchen aid! I have the 6qt pro. I absolutely love yours though! First of all, it’s pink. Second, I love the clear bowl! Yay!

  19. Kellie says

    OMG I LOVE my Kitchenaide Stand Mixer! When I got engaged it was the first thing I registered for! Have fun using it! 🙂

I turned 40 today. 🎉 Hitting a milestone like t I turned 40 today. 🎉 Hitting a milestone like this has me reflecting—not just on what I’ve accomplished, but on who I’m becoming.

I’ve always been driven to achieve, to push, to prove. But lately, I’ve been learning to celebrate presence over performance, connection over perfection.

Today wasn’t about checking a box or hitting a goal—it was about pausing, feeling grateful, and eating a ridiculous amount of cake with people I love. And honestly? That feels like growth.

Here’s to 40: more aligned, more grounded, and still a little extra. 😉

Turning 40 tomorrow. 🎂 Big milestones always Turning 40 tomorrow. 🎂 

Big milestones always make me pause and ask:
What am I proud of?
What needs to shift?
Am I becoming the woman I want to be?

💡 As an Enneagram 3, I’ve always been wired to achieve — and for a long time, that meant shaping myself into whatever version I thought people would like best.

There are tables where it’s clear I’m not welcome — and that used to wreck me.
But at 40? I don’t do cliques. I don’t do shrinking or contorting to be accepted. 👀

I’ll always be kind. I’ll always be respectful. But I’m done dragging a chair to tables that were never built for me.

I’m moving over. Making space.
Creating my own table.
