Have a wonderful Monday ✨
“Mommy, you need lipstick!” ❤️ Thank you, “Mommy, you need lipstick!” ❤️

Thank you, dude😘

But in all seriousness, I miss lipstick!  That pop of color always made me feel 👌🏻

One day I’ll get back to bold lip colors when we don’t need to wear 😷. Love me a nice pop of pink. 

Are you more Team Pink or Team Red! 👄 💄
Today is National Cuddle Up Day and as you can see Today is National Cuddle Up Day and as you can see, Lincoln is clearly thrilled with my cuddling. 🤣

I’m thinking....He may need a furry cuddle buddy! 

We’ve been talking about eventually adding a four legged friend to the family but unsure of which breed.  We are leaning toward a bigger dog (Lincoln is a cocker spaniel).. perhaps a lab? 🐶 

What are your favorite family-friendly pups?
Sophia approved ✅ Thank you @kraft_macandcheese Sophia approved ✅

Thank you @kraft_macandcheese for finally coming out with a delish gluten free Mac and Cheese for my girl! 

It cooked well and taste just like a regular box compared to other brands that get super soggy and filmy like 🤢

Just waiting for the gluten free @oreo to come out in two weeks... eeeeek! 🙌🏻

Feel free to tag your favorite gluten free brands!  We love trying all things gluten free over here!

Hey Mama, hey 👋🏻 Since we are starting 202 Hey Mama, hey 👋🏻 

Since we are starting 2021 off fresh, figured I should start with a refresher all about me 😉

I’m Heather, sharer of all-the-things that light-me-up inside. Here you’ll often see pictures of:
My kiddies (Sophia 8, Brayden 6, and Jameson 3) along with a motherhood story or lesson learned. 
The Hubs because he’s my main squeeze since 2005. 
Affordable fashion finds with an occasional splurge. 
Clean skincare and makeup. 
Gluten free goodies. 
Glamping/RV hacks. 
Disney World Magic. 
Something Kate Spade.
Pretty words. 
Health and fitness journeys. 
And a whole lot of Sparkle.

My latest venture started back in May when I launched @_spread_the_sparkle, a fundraising initiative to support our healthcare heroes taking care of our loved-ones during the COVID-19 pandemic. 

This passion project filled my soul with such purpose and it will continue to fulfill its mission of reminding people of all-the-things that spark joy and happiness. 

My hope here is that you’ll be able to say something like, “Oh my.. my kids do the same thing!!!” Or “oh, that’s cute.. where did you get that?” Or even, “Oh Heather, did you really?” (And yes.  yes, I did!) 🤣

Anddd now that you know all the things that light-me-up inside (I call that Sparkle), tell me, what’s something that brought a smile to your face today?  Mine is in the comments✨
This was my 2020, on paper. If you’ve been fol This was my 2020, on paper. 

If you’ve been following me for quite sometime now, you know I’m a huge fan of planners!  I don’t just use them for appointment reminders- I map out my short-term goals, practice gratitude, the keeper of all my projects and ideas that light-me-up inside. ✨

The spiral bound planner is my tried and true for all things appointments and brain dumps! It’s the Life Planner by @erincondren and my favorite feature is being able to breakdown the week into individual days.  Plus the inspirational quotes and gorgeous designs make filling it out almost like a therapeutic experience. 

I use the hard cover priority planners by @thestarttodaybrand for my short term projects and business goals.  @_spread_the_sparkle wouldn’t have been as successful if it wasn’t for these planners forcing me to breakdown my time by the hour, goal tracking, accountablilty.  Yes, people may think I’m cra-cra (The Hubs included) but this system works for me and it truly brings me joy putting the pen to the pages. 

I will tell you though, I recently have been through a season where I wasn’t dedicating the time towards my planners and I’m ready to get back into it🙌🏻.. it’s honestly such a special time where I reflect, feel the feels and become inspired 🔥on how I’m going to continue to spread more sparkle in this 🌎 

Tell me, where did you get your 2021 planner? Mine are arriving any day now!
This girl... Caught her cleaning-up the kitchen a This girl...

Caught her cleaning-up the kitchen after last night’s dinner, packing leftovers in containers and even loaded the dish washer WITHOUT ASKING. 

I never knew she could handle it ALL and she kinda blew me away!  She even requested a towel to dry the dishes (look at the towel on the counter @jojofundeluxe 😉✨)

At the age of eight, my strong-willed firecracker is testing her boundaries with a whole lot of sass leading us to often hold our breath after her occasional eye roll (lord give me, strength). But then, she does something like this that restores my faith in parenting. 

First, I know she’s always watching because she cleaned this kitchen-up exactly the way I do ☺️ and secondly, she really does have a sweet side 🤣. Now, now, I know she’s a good girl because that’s all I hear from her teachers, coaches, and friends. But as you mamas know, we often see that OTHER side a bit more often than we like.  However, when we do get our proud mama moments, we soak them up and feel the feels ☺️✨#sparkle 

Thank you, Sophia, for this sweet gesture.  You have no idea how much Mommy and Daddy needed to see it 😘
Don’t mind me.. I had my first experience at @a Don’t mind me..

I had my first experience at @athomestores. 

All I can say is, WOW 🙌🏻

Basically it’s like a Home Goods on crack with aisles and aisles of pillows and wall decor!! It’s a home decor lovers dream..
And yup, I lived it today... 

And yes, I got two throw pillows for my bed 😉
Well.. someone looks comfy in our new white beddin Well.. someone looks comfy in our new white bedding set from @amazon!  This five-piece king set was under $100 and even The Hubs said, “I really like it!” Score!! 🙌🏻

Now to decide what color throw and accent pillows?

And kudos to The Hubs for a @themandalorian tin 🙌🏻
Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night 🎄✨❤️

(Because we are all sorts of exhausted over here.)

Hoping your day was filled with smiles, joy, and Sparkle even if it looked a bit different this year.  Ours certainly was and my heart goes out to the families effected by this virus who can’t spend time with their loved ones.  Believe me, I feel your pain 💔 My heart also goes out the families of our first responders, military, healthcare workers and professionals working today and couldn’t be with their loved ones.  Please know you are appreciated and hope you celebrate with your families soon❤️
From our crazy Clan to yours, we wish you much lo From our crazy Clan to yours, we  wish you much love, good health, and Sparkle today and always!✨

Merry Christmas Eve🎄

He’s been bringing it up the last few weeks, but yesterday he was adamant about getting him one.  He even went into his wallet and gave me $20 and said, “He needs one.”

So, on the way home from work, The Hubs was just passing by @petsmart and picked-up this little sweater vest. 

I mean... how fitting?! It’s perfect for our little old-man. 

Brayden has such a soft-spot for his animals and it just melts my heart❤️
Here’s to hoping I can walk tomorrow 🤣❄️❤️
