Thank you!

We are truly excited that so many of you have been enjoying our new podcast! 🙂 Thank you for all of the support! The fact that it’s lead to everyone sharing their old AIM screen name with us via stories is just... too good! 🤣 In case you missed it, you can listen to Episode 1 (How We Met and Fell In Love) anywhere that you already listen to podcasts. (Linked in our story right now if you listen on Apple!) ✌🏼 And just for fun, please do share in the comments what your screen name was back in the day. 😂

*GIVEAWAY!* Ahhh! ❤️ I am so excited to be giving away my all time favorite backpack/diaper bag to one of you! I have used a lot of different diaper bags over the years and this is the one I’ve used the longest. It’s the BEST. Flexible but not flimsy. Great size. Beautiful colors, (I have it in two colors!) and it’s vegan leather. I can’t say enough good things about it! And I’m thrilled to be giving one away to one lucky person thanks to @azariabrand. To enter: Make sure you’re following @walkinlove and @azariabrand. Like this photo. Then comment with which color of the La Mère bag you’d choose if you win, and tag a friend. 😍 Winner will be announced in our stories on Friday. Good luck!!

SLOW HOBBIES | I enjoy simple things that can make a big difference.  One of those simple things that Brooke and I have been focusing on in the past few years are what I like to call "slow hobbies." Now, a slow hobby is pretty self-explanatory, it's something that you do for enjoyment that takes a fair amount of time. For example, my most recent slow hobby is going on a morning walk with one or both of my girls. I'll spend about an hour walking with them in a stroller, with no goal of fitness, purpose or to get something done.

In the fall, I will add back in another slow hobby of mine - baking bread by hand (it just makes our house too warm in the summer!). You legit have to wait for the dough to rise. It doesn't get much slower than that.  I've also done a lot of painting this summer, not art, but I painted two different deck railings and our garage. These are slow hobbies. Brooke likes to go thrifting, which consists of slowing perusing aisle after aisle in hopes to find one tiny little thing that is usually 75 cents.

Unfortunately, in our culture, we've replaced slow hobbies with idle distraction.  We've decided that instead of going for a stroll, we will stroll through Instagram for 30 minutes. Instead of waiting for the bread to rise, we will pick it up on the way home after taking this kid to this thing and that kid to that thing.  And instead of enjoying the hunt of a unique find, we will order it on Amazon because we need it NOW!

Some of this is out of convenience which I understand entirely, but I think some of the time it's because we've forgotten about what we enjoy doing because we spend too much time distracted on devices. The desire to always know what's going out there in the world has replaced our ability to figure out what we really desire in our own hearts. Honestly, I was at one point, probably one of the worst offenders.  I spent hours on my phone, and if you had asked me at the end of the day what I did, I probably wouldn't be able to recollect much because the truth was I was distracting myself. (More in comments)

Nothing beats an impromptu date night with no kids! 🙌🏼 Mexican food, Starbucks and now it’s time for a movie on the couch. #walkinlove #iwearwalkinlove

T.J. and I went on a run together today while accidentally wearing the same shirt 😂, and I found myself wondering if we should we have been smiling the whole time because they say “choose joy”. Like, was someone passing us in their car thinking “that girl definitely isn’t choosing joy right now.” 🤣 Running is so hard though!! Also, big news! We announced the release date of our fall collection in our story. Turn on the reminder there! 🙌🏼 I am so excited about the designs and colors in this one!! P.S. I love that T.J. passed down his squinty-smile-eyes to June. 🥰 Seriously where did his eyes go!?

Just in case you needed this reminder today. ✨
