Hello Beautiful!!

Kalee & I spent part of Wednesday back over at Mom & Dad's house working on the middle bedroom.

I'm beginning to wonder if we're EVER going to be ready for this yard sale on September 6th 😅

Every time I think we're making progress, I look around and think...how in the world is there still this much stuff??

I've finally contacted a realtor to come out and tell us what we actually need to do to the house before selling it and, probably more importantly, what we can just LEAVE ALONE.

At this point, I'm ready for someone to tell me, "Kim, you don't need to do that." 😂

But while we were going through everything Wednesday, I had a thought...

I just want this part to be done.

And I don't mean I want to be done with Mom & Dad. Obviously that's not what I mean.

I think I'm ready to find out what life looks like when we're no longer dealing with all the things that came after losing them.

Between the house, all their belongings, paperwork, and deciding what we're keeping, selling, or donating, there's been something related to Mom or Dad that needed our attention for so long that I don't really know what life looks like without it anymore.

My goal is to have everything finished before November, and maybe then Kalee & I can finally find out.

It's a strange thought.

I think there's probably a part of me that feels a little guilty even saying I'm ready for it to be over. But wanting to finish this part doesn't mean I'm leaving Mom & Dad behind.

I think it just means I'm ready to carry them forward without having to carry all of this forward too.

Have you ever been through a season like that? Maybe it was losing someone, taking care of a parent, a divorce, a health issue, or something completely different where the actual event happened...but all the stuff that came afterward seemed to go on forever.

I'd love to hear how you felt when you finally got to the other side.

✨ Everybody's talking about peptides...but which one??

Okay...let's talk about something a little lighter 😄

There are SO many peptides being talked about right now that I can totally understand why people don't know where to start.

Depending on what you're wanting to work on, different peptides may support different areas like energy, metabolism, muscle and recovery, sleep, skin, and healthy aging.

But which one actually makes sense for YOU?

EllieMD has a quick 3-minute Peptide Quiz that I think is really neat. You answer a few questions about your goals, and it'll give you personalized recommendations based on what you're looking to improve.

​TAKE THE 3-MINUTE PEPTIDE QUIZ​

And if you take it, HIT REPLY and tell me what you get!! I'm curious. 😄

If you have questions about your results, send those too. Kalee & I are always happy to help you figure out what might be worth talking through with a provider.

💌 A Little Hummingbird Update

I'm so excited that some of you have already joined our little Hummingbird Post snail mail club!!

Our first happy mail goes out September 5th, and Kalee & I will each be writing a personal letter and tucking in a few fun little surprises.

We're only opening 50 spots to start because we want to keep this small and personal.

So if you missed me talking about it last week and love the idea of getting something FUN in your mailbox that isn't asking you to pay a bill 😂, we'd love to have you.

🎙️ What in the world are mitochondria??

This Tuesday we're sitting down with Curtis again on The Kim & Kalee Show, and we're talking about something you probably haven't thought much about since biology class...mitochondria. 😂

You may remember them as the "powerhouse of the cell," but there's a reason we should probably care a little more about them now than we did when we were trying to pass a test.

Curtis explains why mitochondrial health matters for our energy and overall health, what can affect it as we age, and what we can actually do to support it.

We also get into some of the supplements and peptides that may help support healthy mitochondrial function.

If your energy isn't quite what it used to be or you just enjoy learning more about what's actually happening inside your body, I think you'll really enjoy this one.

📺 What I'm Watching

I finished The Four Seasons on Netflix with Tina Fey, and I really liked it!!

It's funny but also has some surprisingly sweet moments about marriage, friendship, and getting older.

And now I'm just irritated that I have to wait for another season. 😂

I've also made it to my LAST season of Elementary, so apparently I'm going to need y'all to give me some new shows soon.

🤍 A little reflection

I've been thinking about that middle bedroom and why I'm so ready to have all of this finished.

I don't think moving forward means we forget what came before. I don't think God asks us to stay in a hard season just because leaving it behind feels strange either.

There really is a season for everything, and maybe part of trusting Him is being willing to walk into the next one when it comes.

"There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens." — Ecclesiastes 3:1

I don't really know what our next season looks like yet. But maybe that's okay.

For now, I've got a middle bedroom to finish and a yard sale to somehow pull together by September 6th. Pray for us 😂

Love y'all!!​
