This is me.
Heather Chick:)
Yes, my last name really is Chick, which is how I came up with the title “From Chick to Chick”:)
I am what you would call an open book and a talker. I love to talk with people! I am the friend that drops you a text with a great deal that I just found, a yummy recipe I just tried or my newest obsession. I love to travel with my family, try new adventures and read new books.
Seeing this has always been who I am, I figured why not share it all in one place!
My goal is that this will be a place that uplifts you when you are down, motivates you when you are drained and inspires you to try new things – whether it be a new book, new recipe or new adventure.
I want this to be a place where I not only share, but I want you to share too! So much of my life has been inspired from those around me. Although I love to talk, I also love to listen and hear what others are doing! From my years as a teacher, to my current photography career, I get to meet so many people and keep those conversations always going! We are one huge tribe that should work together to bring us
I do not know where this will go OR where life is going to take me, but I’m eager to continue my journey and I hope that you decide to join me:)!
Before we get started on that journey, I thought I would take a minute to tell you a little more about myself, and seeing that I have always loved the magazine US Weekly, I thought I would do a play on their interview with a celebrity and write…
“25 Things you Don’t Know About Me”
1. Mom of two crazy, active, head-strong, out-going kiddos (age 13 and 11 currently:) – and growing way to fast!
2. Wife of one fantastically supportive husband (I started my photography business when my kids were under 3 and 1!)!
3. Foxboro, Ma native (Home of the Patriots:) and now reside closer to the ocean:)
4. Former lacrosse and field hockey player – I absolutely LOVED these sports (basketball, tennis and dance were also in the mix over the years:)
5. Constant smiler – I just can’t help it – it is definitely just who I am:)
6. Dave Ramsey follower. After finding his book and podcast in 2018, my husband and I finally took control of our current finances and financial future! We even bought a commuter car (with cash:) and named it “Dave”:)
7. Mystery Solver (due to all my Criminal Minds, CSI, Manifest, Law and Order and How to Get Away with Murder TV watching:)
8. Beach lover – my one day a week away from the computer and electronics during the precious summer here in New England:)
9. Although I aim to eat healthy, I am a love of dessert – ANY dessert – I can’t even pick a favorite!
10. Memory keeper – I started scrapbooking with my honeymoon and haven’t stopped – it has morphed into various forms of memory keeping – One a Day Journaling, pocket scrapping, etc:) Now my daughter does it with me!
11. Book lover – I am finally back to reading after almost a decade of only reading a handful of books! Now I am aiming for 2-3 month:)
12. Former classroom teacher – I have taught 2nd, 3rd, and 4th grade (right out of college).
13. Current wedding and portrait photographer for over a decade!
14. Naples, FL vacationer…growing up we went once every year and now that my parents moved there in 2001, I STILL visit there every year!
15. Fro-yo eater – it made a come back (from the TCBY days) and I was oh-so excited that it did:)!
16. Roulette player – definitely my game of choice when I make it to a casino – who doesn’t love hoping for their favorite numbers to come in:)!
17. Boutineer pinner – As a teenager I worked for a florist and one of my jobs while I was there was to deliver to weddings and pin boutineers…I never knew that I would be helping to pin boutineers in my adult life too! That skill comes in handy when I am photographing weddings!
18. Restaurant customer – I love to eat out (and I am not very picky about where – I can ALWAYS find something:)!.
19. Traveler – I love to travel – I want to see everything with my own eyes!
20. Broadway fan – I don’t make it to actual Broadway that often, but I do bring my family to whatever comes to Boston!
21. Hockey fan – I grew up a football fan but my little guy took a liking to hockey – now I can’t wait to watch him in his next game – it is a fun sport to watch:)
22. Hoarder – Not officially, but I do have a bit of it in me:) I want to keep everything and preserve it! Clearly I like to document everything with my camera – being a photographer, but I want to keep the little things too – like the first locket of hair from my kids, our playbills from each show and every card my husband gives me:)
23. Seeker of organization – I am always striving to be more organized, in my own planner and in my cabinets. This is an area that does not come easy to me naturally:(
24. Music lover – Pretty much any and all music, but I love a chill and beach-y vibe – Kenny Chesney, Old Dominion and Jack Johnson are at the top of my obsessed list, but Ed Sheerhan, Post Malone, Pitbull, Lady Gaga and Michael Buble have also been favorites too.
25. YOLO and FOMO believer:) I stand by these two – “You Only Live Once” and “Fear of Missing Out” – I definitely live life to the fullest and use every minute and every hour of the day to fill our lives with fun adventures, new experiences and plenty of friends and family time!
