$75 gift card giveaway with The Mint Julep Boutique!

August 1, 2014 · 71 Comments
Filed Under: giveaway, shop feature

I’m really excited to share with you today’s giveaway sponsored by The Mint Julep Boutique, direct from the heart of Dixie. The gals behind the shop have a passion for fashion and sweet tea… sounds about perfect, right? On Wednesday I shared one of their yellow maxi dresses for my 27 week bump update and as promised, today we have a $75 Mint Julep gift card to give away.

Mint Julep has oodles of colorful dresses, tops, bottoms & accessories inside their store. Here are four of my favorites:

mint julep boutique maggie whitley

1. Rising Sun tank in light blue/peach // 2. Fall Frenzy dress in magenta // 3. Amaze Me cardigan in neon coral // 4. All I Need romper in orange

What makes these four pieces my favorite is you can easily pair it with a solid or neutral. I’m a big fan of wearing gray, even though I love a pop of color, so to me these four pieces are the perfect balance to creating an outfit.

And I know you don’t want to talk about it, but with fall nearing (hello, August 1st!) I thought it would be fun to ask Mint Julep to share with MWD their favorite upcoming fall fashion trends. Their reply? Animal prints, fur vests, booties, plaid, print on print, and hints of gold.

As you know, I’m currently in a wardrobe transition ;) I can usually wear non-maternity on bottom with the help of BeBand, but my tops definitely need to be longer in the front with a little stretch to the fabric. The Mint Julep Boutique has some great pieces that double as maternity wear: knit maxi dresses, tunics, and kimonos.

“We are preparing to wind down for the school ye “We are preparing to wind down for the school year with just a few more weeks of intentional table lessons. We will then transition to a lighter learning schedule during the summer months. Today I am grateful for the books and resources I’ve read that have helped keep me in my own lane. (Visit my blog to see a personal favorite.)

Even now, three years in, I appreciate the reminder to stay on the path that was designed with intentional thought just for me.”

I took off my “comparison / contemplation” gla I took off my “comparison / contemplation” glasses last month and it’s been soooooo good. See also: sooooo hard (because life is never and/or). I’ve been writing more, reading more, spending more time outside. Talking to friends faces and smelling their detergent. My heart feels lighter. I’m sharing a few updates on my blog if you’d like to read? 🌾🤓blog reading & writing is a much better pace for me. You too? Link in profile.

I fought every internal comment I could think of a I fought every internal comment I could think of and took my kiddos for a looooong walk today before dinner. ❄️✨ There’s just so much work required to raise children! I’m feeling like a tired lady. But sunshine & fresh air are good companions to keep around. 

We came home and I made “the best dinner ever”. Max specifically announced, “it’s so great you’re launching new meals to the world”. LOL— kids! 🤣👏🏻💓
How about a little Wednesday night introduction? 😘Social media sure has changed over the years and we don’t always SEE who we’re following or remember WHY we’re following certain accounts. 

So, hello! As you can gather, my name is Maggie ;) 

I started writing online (almost 13 years ago) to share the handmade products I was sewing. My shop was called Gussy Sews. ✂️👛I love the community that has grown from sewing & sharing online.

Let’s FFW to today: Zack and I live in Michigan and have four young children (2 boys & 2 girls). I slowly left the handmade industry and walked right into homemaking, homeschooling, and encouraging women through writing. 💕📝

Motherhood has been very hard on me. (And not just because of how close in age our four children are.) It’s been hard for me because I fought for years to accept that *it’s supposed to be hard*. 

I mean, how do you effectively teach another person to know and love the Lord? Bc that’s how I think of motherhood: a calling to nurture others by studying the One who nurtures me. So I gotta make the first move: study the Bible and seek Him first. As my friend Autumn reminded me, vulnerability births transformation. 

(I’ve had to be really vulnerable!)

So, yes motherhood has fully transformed me. But even more so, Christ has fully transformed me. My list of “all that He’s done for me” is off to a beautifully long start.

Something else I want you to know about me: I stalled for years before acknowledging I have anxiety and depression. It’s hard to talk about this because of course this isn’t forever “my hardship”, but rather because acknowledging this means to heal I have to work through some really difficult things. ✨

But my friend Jesus walks alongside me. He’s already done a mighty work in my heart, including helping me process my anger in healthier ways. I’ve also adopted a heart for sisterhood, mothering, and Titus 2 mentorship.

Sometimes our greatest losses are our greatest gains? That’s what I’m clinging to!

How about you? Tell me something about yourself so I can get to know you on a deeper heart level. 🖤🖤

We had gotten a bit lazy with our rhythms: screens We had gotten a bit lazy with our rhythms: screens in the morning (HGTV), playtime before lessons, and not enough quiet time after lunch. This made for a really, ummm, unenjoyable learning experience. 

But today! Today we reset the rhythm, and we have had a much happier home & time learning together. 👏🏻
Visit my stories for a quick message from ME — t Visit my stories for a quick message from ME — think outside the box in terms of how you view the definition of “motherhood” 💓😘 (also: look at my little friend, she’s sooooo snuggly)
