Loving Lately #1: Nike Free 4.0 Flyknit

The concept of “barefoot shoes” has been around for a while; the idea that you want to feel as if you are not wearing a shoe. Except if you’re like me (and many others) you still want protection from rugged terrain- and pebbles. In my first edition of Loving Lately you saw my love of a “barefoot” sandal from Exodus. I really think I’ve become a minimalist in shoe wear since having children. I want something light weight, supportive and secure (the last thing I need while carrying a baby (and at least 2-3 bags at any given time) is a tripping hazard…) I’m more of a walker than a runner. But that won’t deter me from getting a “running” shoe. These are comfortable and cute, great to accompany jeans and an active wear, and perfect for around town from the post office to the grocery store and everywhere in between.

Loving Lately #2

A couple years ago we took a trip to Louisville, Kentucky. We have some great friends that live in Kentucky who recommended a trendy café called Please and Thank You. One of the most difficult things about traveling for me is finding places to eat that uphold our ethics when it comes to food. We really try to avoid genetically modified ingredients wherever possible. (Shout out to Chipotle, thank you for making strides in the fast food business!) Please and Thank You had some organic options and they served coffee from a local Louisville roaster, Argo Sons Coffee. As a souvenir I picked us this classic diner style coffee mug. Because I choose to use a dishwasher rather than wash it by hand, it is losing it’s print. So be it. But to preserve my fond memories, I am showing my love (of coffee, traveling and American nostalgia).

    1. With your son being a runner, I’m sure you know good shoes! But when I come across something that works for me, I think maybe it will work for someone else too:)

  4. I love those shoes too! I have them in white. I’ve never heard of that cafe, I’ll have to check it out. There are so many great places to eat here in the ville!

      1. No, no more running. My knee can’t take it anymore. For the last 3 years I’ve been weight lifting:) I love it, makes me feel strong??. I will definitely check out that restaurant:-)

  5. I love the shoes! I have a pair of Merrels like them in pink!
    I also love the mug! We have the same one from the coffe shop Please & Thank You which we visit every time we are in Louisville!

  6. Such fun shoes! Yes– always better to avoid tripping when juggling kid and bags!! I have been there, my friend!

    I love the mug, too! If I have an item addiction, it’s fun mugs. We always have too many because I love collecting them and picking a different one each morning. 🙂

    1. We do the same! We get one (or a refrigerator magnet) everywhere we go, and when you have too many to shut the cupboard… You can’t stop yourself at the next travel destination because you like them so much!
