Friday Favorites


I woke up this morning to learn of what happened in Dallas. Less than a month since Orlando. When will it stop? My heart is breaking for the families and everyone involved. My comfort comes from knowing that God is in control and that there is something better waiting for us. 



My Friday Favorites are short today & I'm linking up with ErikaNarci, & Andrea as usual :). 


Noah & I are planning on playing in a Glo Ball golf scramble next weekend so he wanted to show me the ropes. Lol.

He took me to the driving range and taught me how to properly hold the club but as you can see it was hopeless. I got bored quickly and I've decided that I'm better in the cart reading :). 

He loves him some golf. 

I'm pretty biased :). 

Then we moved to the putting green and that went much smoother. 


 Woo hoo it's going in!!

 Even though golf isn't my thing we had fun! I am thankful to be able to do dates like this and have him teach me something he loves. We laughed a lot!

 So this is really random. Yesterday I thought I would look back at last summer's pictures and I cannot believe what I saw. Last July I actively started eating healthier, cutting out pop, and exercising regularly. I lost about 14 pounds within two months and was feeling great! Factor in basketball season and eating late, I was at a standstill. I completed one round of Whole 30 in March/April and lost quite a bit more. I ended up putting some weight back on. I've been running for 4 weeks now and am starting to see a difference again. But until I looked at this picture I didn't realize how much change there really was. Posting this picture makes me vulnerable to comments and I know that, but I can't help but be proud of myself. I know my weight will always be a struggle but God gave me this body so I need to take care of it. 
One last thing, it's not a diet...it's a lifestyle change. 
As of last night I am down 28 pounds total since July 2015. 

Because I really love coffee & our home :). 
Side note: the pillows need fixing lol!

Lastly this refined tee came in and I threw it on immediately. It is super comfy and on sale for $10 right now. I love it paired with the breezeblock pendant! Add on the gilded path bracelet to complete it!

Happy Friday friends and have a blessed weekend!

  1. You look great! We went to a driving range once...I am worthless. Michael isn't a golfer, so he couldn't really teach me much, but he's just athletic in general so he did soooo much better than me! Ha! We got a bucket of balls and I hit like five and gave up. Then he got ANOTHER bucket! Hahaha. Your house always looks so cute and nice!

  2. Blake that is just amazing! I totally know the struggle of learning to live a healthy lifestyle to keep my body at a healthy size. Learning to eat for fuel and not fun is always my biggest struggle. I'm super proud of you!
