Monday: Shoes, the Bahamas, & Birth

1. #runningproblems

The greatest thing about being near Memphis is the Nike Outlet store. I have been on a norts (Nike shorts) kick all summer. Today, I bought new running shoes—yellow polka dot ones, at that. The best part? 60% off.

2. healthy living

For dinner, I made a power smoothie.

1 frozen banana
1/2 cup cooked oatmeal
2 tbsp. peanut butter
1 cup skim milk

Blend.

3. so this is love

I’ve been editing engagement photos for hours. I love, love, love how they are turning out!

4. cruisin’ the bahamas

My family leaves for a cruise to the Bahamas in 27 days! To say I’m excited is a bit of an understatement. Today I started looking into excursions. I’m thinking the kayak/snorkel excursion is something I have to do!

5. The Business of Being Born

I am currently watching the documentary “The Business of Being Born.” It’s controversial, as it talks about how modern medicine/hospitals have seemingly convinced women that our bodies are not able to labor and birth babies on our own. We have to have that pitocin, epidural, get the women in and out. What happened to midwives and natural deliveries? I’m nowhere near having a child yet, but when I do, I’ll trust my body to do what God created it to do.
