Heather Hindin @hlh827.bsky.social · 05/01/2025It was just as bad as you might think. Didn’t bode well for the marriage, TBH. 020 2

Heather Hindin @hlh827.bsky.social · 31/12/20242024 was a year of milestones for Harper’s Home—from Harper’s end-of-treatment celebrations to achieving 501(c)(3) status.

Heather Hindin @hlh827.bsky.social · 24/12/2024My 11 YO finished treatment for leukemia earlier this year. I ordered a grooming tool for a Christmas gift for her to use on her horse. I opened the box today and found this. WTF? I am enraged by this. Why wouldn’t Chewy disclose this info before people order it? 020 2

Heather Hindin @hlh827.bsky.social · 23/12/2024I went to a church service this morning with my daughter to watch her BFF play the handbells. I did not spontaneously combust, though I did get uncomfortably warm. 🔥 000 0

Heather Hindin @hlh827.bsky.social · 20/12/2024I write a regular column for @southpointaccess.bsky.social and this is my favorite one so far!

Heather Hindin @hlh827.bsky.social · 03/12/2024I’m working so hard on engagement for our Giving Tuesday campaign on social and just can’t seem get traction. Has anyone seen any particularly clever or touching posts or messages? 000 0
Heather Hindin @hlh827.bsky.social · 03/12/2024Mine was Poltergeist. I was about 8. My parents realized their mistake when the face starting melting into maggots in the sink. Still traumatized. 100 1
Heather Hindin @hlh827.bsky.social · 02/12/2024No! That looks so good. Adding it to my list. Thank you! 100 1

Heather Hindin @hlh827.bsky.social · 29/11/2024If you tell ChatGPT what you have in your fridge and pantry and whatever meal preferences or restrictions you have, it will create a meal plan for you and a shopping list for the things you don’t have! 110 1
Heather Hindin @hlh827.bsky.social · 29/11/2024I LOVE being able to write about my life and experiences for a hyper-local community news source! Writing and Durham and two of my most favorite things. 💙 041 4
Heather Hindin @hlh827.bsky.social · 27/11/2024My friend from high school (who lives in DE) had an emergency in NC today. I am currently on a sofa in her hotel room in Raleigh, watching her 3 YO while she and her husband are going through something awful at the hospital. Sometimes we’re just in the right place at the right time. 020 2
Heather Hindin @hlh827.bsky.social · 25/11/2024Mailing my check in this week to secure my spot in Durham’s Master Gardener program. So excited! My parents named me and my sis after plants and I was obviously playing the long game with them. 🌱 020 2
Heather Hindin @hlh827.bsky.social · 24/11/2024He is such a great guy - so kind to my daughter every time they met and a hell of a basketball player to boot! 0210 21
Heather Hindin @hlh827.bsky.social · 23/11/2024Attended a small fall festival hosted by a friend–a local realtor–today. We met when she learned of our non-profit and mission and has jumped in to support us. Her colleagues are so motivated to help us make connections in the Durham building community. Another reason to love Durham! 🐂 020 2
Heather Hindin @hlh827.bsky.social · 23/11/2024Live?!? I am currently watching it on television and want to poke my eyes (and ears) out. 220 2
Heather Hindin @hlh827.bsky.social · 23/11/2024This book was such a lovely surprise. I picked this as the least worst of the seemingly awful options for this month’s subscription box and I am so glad I did. It was beautiful and sad and funny and whew. Loved it so much. I’ve read 140 books this year and this is easily in the top ten! 📚 000 0
Heather Hindin @hlh827.bsky.social · 22/11/2024I’m curious, what is Caitlyn Jenner’s take on the bathroom issue in the Capital? She was so vocal about how trans women shouldn’t compete in women’s sports, which was WTF. How would she feel about being banned from the ladies room, thanks to her friend Trump and his minions? 010 1
Heather Hindin @hlh827.bsky.social · 22/11/2024Working full time, single momm-ing, and starting a nonprofit is not for the faint of heart. Something’s gotta give, right? 000 0
Heather Hindin @hlh827.bsky.social · 21/11/2024My daughter is unvaccinated through no fault of her own and we are counting the days until her body is recovered enough to be re-vaccinated after chemo. Vaccines aren’t just about protecting yourself, it’s about caring for others. Crossing all the things that she can get these shots before 1/20/25. 020 2
Heather Hindin @hlh827.bsky.social · 21/11/2024My daughter is recovering from 2+ years of chemo for leukemia. Her childhood vaccines have been essentially erased and her bone marrow is not yet recovered enough to be re-vaccinated. Hoping to have this done by inauguration. 1270 27
Heather Hindin @hlh827.bsky.social · 21/11/2024Gearing up for our first Giving Tuesday as an actual 501(c)(3). Our social media is relatively popular but that doesn’t translate to donations. I need a little pizazz and I’m struggling to find it. 🫠 000 0
Heather Hindin @hlh827.bsky.social · 20/11/2024Omg. Mailchimp hasn’t added new email subscribers to our Harper’s Home email list since MARCH, despite new sign ups. 🫠 For a small, new non-profit, that is a big hit. Shoot. 000 0
Heather Hindin @hlh827.bsky.social · 20/11/2024Spent some time tonight working on my column for @southpointaccess.bsky.social! If you like Durham and you tolerate me, you should definitely follow and subscribe! ✍️ 040 4

Heather Hindin @hlh827.bsky.social · 19/11/2024Thank you! I love Guglhupf but I’ll have to plan his next visit so it doesn’t fall on a weekend. That parking lot is a nightmare! 010 1
Heather Hindin @hlh827.bsky.social · 18/11/2024Listening to the talk of Trump’s plans for mass deportation with the help of the military makes me think of all of the people who enter the military as children of immigrants who feel compelled to show their gratitude to the US through service. 020 2
Heather Hindin @hlh827.bsky.social · 18/11/2024Ugh. I hope you stay well. Harper texted me today to let me know I shouldn’t eat any of the horse’s carrots. They called you?! Amazing. How do they track who bought carrots? 100 1

Heather Hindin @hlh827.bsky.social · 16/11/2024Spending my Friday night watching my daughter sing and dance while watching the stream of the Eras Tour, complete with outfit changes. Life is good. 020 2
Heather Hindin @hlh827.bsky.social · 15/11/2024Ha! Thank you. We ended up at The Boot Room (first time for me) and he was so happy with it! As much as they love living in New Bern, he always laments the lack of a food scene. 100 1
Heather Hindin @hlh827.bsky.social · 14/11/2024Looking for a “good Reuben” for my dad who is visiting Durham for the day. Any recommendations? 310 3
