a friday morning coffee date & a giveaway worth sweating for

Dearest Love

If you came over for coffee I would tell you how overwhelmingly humbled I felt by the responses to my real and honest post about the first year of marriage. How amazed I was to see my words resonating with people, and helping them to see that it is okay to be struggling in what is supposedly the honeymoon stage. I would tell you how much grace I saw through these reactions to my words, and how it brought tears to my eyes to know that God allows us to have such beautiful friendships through this crazy thing called blogging.

If you came over for coffee, I would tell you that curating a capsule wardrobe is not as painful as I thought it would be. Except for the shoes...I can't seem to cut down on my shoes. But having a few options in pieces that work together in many ways has made my morning much less stressful and left me feeling so much more confident than I have in a while. And living with less has felt so much better. Life isn't less with less stuff. It feels fuller now that I have some empty drawers and shelves.

If you came over for coffee today, I would tell you that so far September is turning out so so much better than August. I'm finally feeling better after a month of constant migraines that were a lovely side effect from a minor medical procedure back in July. My body has finally adjusted to the changes and I'm so glad because I feel like now I can actually do things like work on my diet and fitness goals again.

Which brings me to the giveaway mentioned in the title of this post. Christine is the most inspiring mama ever. She has worked out three times a week without fail for the last year. Not even slacking one. single. week. And I'm absolutely amazed and inspired and am now ready to take on my own fitness challenge. You can, too, with all of the amazing tools we're giving away to help her celebrate accomplishing her goal!
