My Favorite Podcasts to Listen to Regularly

**Follow along with my sister and dad on their trip out west! My sister is blogging each day!

I can’t remember when I discovered podcasts, but I’m so glad I did because I will never go back! There are two types of podcasts I like to listen to–ones that help me learn something and ones that feel like conversations.

Today I want to share some of my favorite podcasts that I listen to!

The Doctor’s Farmacy

This podcast is so eye-opening to me! It was recommended to me maybe a year ago from an IG follower and I found it so fascinating that my mom now listens to it. I really am into functional medicine these days and how you don’t treat your illness, but you look at what’s causing it (I.e. your diet). Listening to this podcast along with reading a few other things really led me to buying our family organic foods and grass-fed/hormone free, organic meats.

Revive Our Hearts

I LOVE listening to Nancy Wolgemuth!!! I went to her Revive Our Hearts conference back in 2015 and she is just wonderful. She did a series on the book of Ruth that was great and a little series on Elizabeth Elliot’s life–those are just a few that I enjoyed. Her voice is really calming, too. I love that these episodes are less than 30 minutes because that makes them really feasible for me at this season of my life.

The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill

This podcast is amazing. It’s put on my Christianity Today magazine and it’s really professionally done. I was too young to really pay attention to the drama going on at Mars Hill church in Seattle, but I do remember reading news headlines when their pastor, Mark Driscoll, stepped down and then they shut down the church. I have learned so much and I really look forward to Tuesdays now!

The Bestie Breakdown

This podcast also comes out on Tuesdays and I’ve really loved their new season where they breakdown one topic per episode is great. I loved listening to their episode on botox where they also covered taking care of their skin and their episode on traveling with friends.

Heir Heads

Y’all know how much I love the British royal family! This podcast is the MOST interesting because both hosts are anti-monarchists who live in the UK (one is from England and the other Ireland) BUT they are so realistic in their views on the royals. There are things they criticize and there are things they praise. They are also fans of Meghan and Harry 🙂 (Beware…they do drop the f-bomb frequently in their episodes)

Knowing Faith

I’m saving the best for last! I love listening to Knowing Faith podcast. The hosts are hilarious–and I really love Jen Wilken and love doing her Bible studies. I learn so much from each podcast episode and have found myself Marco Polo-ing my best friend or calling my mom on the phone to tell her what I’ve learned. They’ve done seasons on The Apostle’s Creed and are just finishing the book of Genesis. The new season that’s about to start will be on the book of Romans and I’m really excited about that because it’s one of my favorite books of the Bible.

Others that I like listening to: The Heir Pod, Risen Motherhood, Signposts with Russell Moore, Say It Southern, Podcast Royal, and The Gospel Coalition Podcast.

My Favorite Outfit to Run In!

Happy Wednesday! Before I share my outfit with y’all, I talked last night on my IG stories about the Nordstrom Sale. As of last night (when I’m writing this ha) most people who answered don’t shop it, but maybe they will this year! I’m still going to share because I like it, and maybe you’ll find something you like!

I’ve just recently gotten back into running. For those of you who run, I’m sure–like me–you were very particular about what you ran in. If I was running a race, I was wearing a certain pair of shorts that I felt the best in and made sure my top wasn’t too loose or tight.

Now I’m having to find something new to run in, and I HAVE FOUND THE PERFECT OUTFIT!

tank (ON MAJOR SALE!!!) | sports bra | shorts

I took this picture yesterday post-run. I waited way too late to run so even though it was already 80 degrees when I started, this outfit still kept me cooler. I am so thankful for the biker short trend because if I would have never have seen other people talk about biker shorts, I probably would never have tried them….and now they are my favorite! They aren’t too long and they also don’t ride up–which is something I cannot deal with. I’m linking a brand I love and own multiple items from because even though they are a little pricey, the quality is top-notch. And since they are from Nordstrom, they ship free and return free! Runs true to size

This tank top is one I bought from the Nordstrom sale a couple of years ago and I am still wearing it now! I appreciate that it’s ventilated but also not super revealing. Runs true to size

I recently got this new sports bra for running because I needed a good high-impact sports bra that kept everything in place and not moving. It has adjustable straps that don’t dig into your shoulders. I got my normal bra size and it fits perfectly!

Even if you don’t run, this outfit is great for high impact workouts!

Friday Favorites!

Hey friends! I am so glad you’re here today! I can’t believe it’s Friday and already July–I do not want to think about school starting but it’s inevitable 🙁 I go back August 1st (I think??)–when do teachers and students go back where you live?

As usual, today I’m sharing a few of my FAVORITES with y’all!

One

I love the Hallmark Christmas in July celebration! Christmas is my favorite time of the year and I could watch Christmas movies all year long. Even though the movies haven’t started on the Hallmark channel yet, they’ve already started on the movies and mysteries channel, so I’ve been watching those.

Two

I am really excited about this sale! I am a big researcher when it comes to using skincare because I want results but I also don’t (can’t) want to spend $300 on one product. I’ve heard about so many people using this brand and the price point is good for me. They announced this 4th of July sale so I pulled the trigger and bought these:

radiant cleansing balm – this is going to be my face cleanser–I love that you put it on your skin while your skin is dry!

extreme recovery cream – I’m going to use this as my night time moisturizer

sheer renewal cream – this is going to be my morning moisturizer. I’ve also read that this is a great primer, too, so it could actually get rid of my primer. We’ll see how it works out that way!

Make sure you use code FIREWORKS when checking out to get 20% off! Hurry!! This sale won’t last long!

Three

I like taking pictures of Harrison on Sundays after church (and let’s be real, after church because before church we are rushing to leave! haha!) and I always take them on the front porch. This past Sunday, Harrison wanted them next to the gates that Dustin was building for our privacy fence because Harrison loved playing with the gates, so I took his picture there 🙂 He’s also smiling like he’s ready for me to hurry and take the picture so he can hurry up and play lol!

Four

Excuse the picture quality, it’s terrible because I zoomed in so much. I’ve been painting the house so things are out of sort. The TV is off the wall, so Harrison has had to watch Cocomelon on the computer. One morning I put it on for him while I was cooking his breakfast and I looked and he was watching while holding the Nutella jar haha–he LOVES Nutella and calls it “tella” and wants it on his pancakes….which he had that morning 🙂

Five

Who is excited about the Olympics?! ME ME ME!!! We watched the trials (and a girl from our hometown made the long jump team!) and Dustin and I are so ready for the Olympics to begin. His birthday is July 25th, so I’ve talked him into having a Team USA birthday party that night while we watch the Olympics. I’m obviously going to wear USA themed clothes and came across this sweatshirt–too hot for this summer but would be cute for this winter!

I hope y’all have a great weekend! I cannot wait to show y’all our new and improved living space once I get all of the picture frames in and hung–should be Monday when that happens!
