summer of sweat

I'm not sure if you've noticed, but we've been celebrating lots of different things that we love about summer here on the jbs blog this month - really it's not hard, there's so much to love! I will admit, my project takes a bit more of  as serious turn, but we've also been having lots of fun while we're at it!

A couple of months ago, it came to my attention that, guess what? My blood pressure is high. Booo... But instead of being bummed about it, I looked at it as an opportunity to change myself and get better. I committed to 30 minutes of exercise per day at least five days a week. I'm swimming, doing yoga, and running. In fact, we've all decided as a family to train to run a 5K together on Labor Day.

Fast forward 4+ weeks, and my blood pressure is down to 111/71. Healthy. I feel awesome. I'm still not a great runner, but I'm learning and training. We're teaching our boys some great lessons about healthy habits and fitness.

I'm still loving every bit of this Modern Mercantile line - the greens, blues, and yellows were perfect for my photos of the track where we run 2-3 times per week.

And the green vintage sew on buttons are the perfect accent for the papers!
