Teen Takeover: Journaling the Move

my similar top + similar jeans || kailee’s similar top + jeans + shoes

hey guys, it’s hunter just going to update you on the move and how I’m feeling about it all! you guys have been so sweet to check in on me and ask my mom how i’m doing. i’ve had friends here who have helped me feel comfortable and it’s overall been a positive thing for me, but i still have hard days. so today on the blog i’m wanting to just share all my thoughts and give you an update with how i’ve navigated my new school, friends, sports teams, etc.

ADJUSTING TO ST. GEORGE

getting asked to junior prom

: MY THOUGHTS

I’m not going to lie, it’s been hard. but it has gotten easier with time and the kind of situations i’ve had to put myself in. situations that have required me to be myself and grow into a better person. i’ve had time to reflect on myself and honestly improve myself a lot more down here than when I was living up north. i’ve been able to learn and realize things that I wouldn’t have learned up north.

i still have hard nights and those suck really bad. i bottle up all my feelings and i eventually just have to let it all out. i usually go somewhere private to cry so my siblings don’t see. i want to be strong for them. but at the same time, i’ve learned that it’s okay to not always be strong. so that’s something i’m still working on.

my pants + shoes

: FRIENDS + DATING

i’ve met some friends which has been fun. i’m not close close with any of them yet, but i have a big friend group so that has totally helped me adjust here and feel like a normal teenager. i really miss my girlfriends up north so much. i was so close with them all. so that’s been one of the hardest parts, but i still talk and text with them.

i have been going on a lot of dates and dances, so that has been so much fun. there are more dances in st. george than there was up north so that has been so fun for me. i’ve been meeting new people every single day and that’s what i thrive off of! i’ve really enjoyed the social scene down here in st. george. i’ve met this one boy and he honestly makes me so happy. i love being around him because he treats me so well. my life totally feels like a movie, being the new girl and everything!

: SCHOOL + SOCCER

i feel like school down here is much easier. i got a 4.0 this quarter so i’m really proud of myself! i’ve also sparked some new interests since moving down here. i’m thinking of trying track so we’ll see what happens. i really think this move has made me realize who i want to be and what i deserve as a person.

soccer is going really well. it’s a little different than up north because i feel like i play at a faster pace than some of the other girls but that’s okay. it’s been so fun doing what i love and becoming friends with my teammates.

: MY RELATIONSHIP W/ HUDSON

hudson and i have gotten so close since moving to st. george! we always do sibling nights where we just talk, get ice cream, or go to target. i make him dance with me because i’m in a social dance class, i’m sure you’ve seen my mom show that on her stories. but it’s been so fun spending more time with hudson, he is such a sweet brother and i’m lucky to have him.

. . .

thanks for reading! no doubt that the move has been hard for me, but it’s getting easier and i’m so happy to be in st. george!

Dog Must Haves

our sweet marley

Today on the blog I’m sharing our dog essentials! People always ask me what I buy for Minnie and Marley, so I thought I’d share my pet favorite items in a blog post for all you pet owners! Another question we get asked a lot is what breed Marley and Minnie are. They are both toy poodles! We got Minnie last November. It’s Hayden’s dog, she worked hard to save money and was able to pay for half of the cost! She takes such great care of her and it’s been fun for her and our family! We’ve had Marley for years and she’s always been our baby!!

DOG MUST HAVES

our sweet minnie

: AMAZON DOG FAVORITES

We get a majority of our dog items from Amazon, which makes everything easier…

We’ve been using this dog food for years and it works so well for both dogs. It’s for smaller dogs, but I the same brand has food for all sizes of dogs! We get the chicken and rice meal and the dogs love it. The brand is Hill’s Science diet and it’s been our staple for years!

Our favorite dog shampoo is this hypoallergenic waterless dog shampoo! It works so well for both dogs, we like to get the gentle coconut scent because it smells so yummy!

I got Minnie this harness because it was small enough for her! It’s adjustable and works so well since she’s so little. I also got her these bells to put on her collar so we can hear her and not step on her!

When we were potty training Minnie, we got her this artificial grass so she can practice going potty on the grass. It worked really well! We used this potty training spray that worked really well too. You spray it where you want them to go potty!

Last thing we love from Amazon is this mat that we put their food and water on. It just keeps the bowls in place and looks very simple + clean

: KINDTALE PRODUCTS

We have the KindTale crate and absolutely LOVE it! The crate is collapsible, so it doesn’t take up much space in the car when we are traveling. It’s so modern looking and just overall darling. We have the white color and love it! We also use KindTail’s travel bowls, which we love because they have lids and a handle to carry them. We have the gray and pink color and they are a must have!

: PUPWELL KIT

I got Hayden this Pupwell kit for Christmas and she loves it! It is the most well-put together grooming kit. The ultimate grooming kit is their best seller! It has everything you need to groom your pup from home. It comes in the cutest bag, with shears, combs, a slicker brush, nail clippers, ear hair forceps, etc. You can see more about it here. Every dog owner needs this kit! It includes so much, we use ours all the time. If you use my link to purchase, you will get 10% off! They also offer grooming courses, tips, and grooming printables!

: DOG BED

Our favorite dog bed is from the brand Monika Hibbs and we love it! It is seriously the best quality and is a neutral striped pattern. We have the medium size for Marley and we’ve loved it! It is more of a splurge, but it is so easy to clean and is so comfortable for your dog!

I hope this blog post was helpful for all the dog owners out there! If you have any recommendations for pet items, comment them below!

Life Update

hayden’s dress || harper’s dress || houston’s shirt || hudson’s shirt

I like to share life update a few times a month – especially because life has been so hectic and life changing these past few months! I wanted to give you all an update about spring break, house plans, Joe’s job, St. George, etc! Kenzie and Bode are in St. George visiting us this week so we’re soaking up all the time with them!

LIFE UPDATE

love having kenz + bode in town

: UPDATE WITH JOE

Joe has 5 weeks left of his job up North until he can fully move down to St. George! We’re finally on a countdown. It will be a total of 3 months that we’ve lived separately. The kids have been good about it, but Joe and I are so over it!

He officially starts his new job in St. George on May 1st. He is excited, it will be a really big change and a new learning curve for him. But he’s just so ready to move down here. He’s been living in a basement apartment in our old neighborhood, so he’s not in our rental anymore.

We celebrated our 18th anniversary with a quick weekend in Las Vegas! Our favorite part was eating at Broken Yolk… they’re cinnamon french toast was unreal!!

: SPRING BREAK

For spring break, we stayed home half of the week and went to Brian Head Ski resort for the rest of it! We went with some old friends from high school/middle school. Joe met us there too so we were all excited about that! Our friends also have 5 kids around the same age as ours, so everyone has a friend, which is really nice. We had such a fun time and were so glad to have Joe there with us!

: THE KIDS

The kids are doing great! We are so proud of their attitudes towards St. George and how well they’ve handled the move. They are thriving in St. George and I’m just overwhelmed with gratitude. Our friends have been so good at looking out for us and helping our kids feel welcome and taken care of. It’s been so humbling. Hudson says he’s fine to never go back up North again, haha!

Hunter has a rough day 2 times a month where it just hits her. She always says her life feels like a movie! She’s loving it and it has been so sweet how things have worked out for her. Getting asked to school dances, sports, friends, etc. Her attitude during the whole things has been so positive and inspiring. She just asked a friend to El Cheapo, it’s a casual dance so she’s excited about that! They have a dance every month here unlike up North, so she’s been loving that.

lots of baseball lately

: HOW I’M FEELING

I’ve been crying so much lately… and not because I’m sad. It’s because I’ve never felt more grateful to finally be where we’re at in life. I’ve had a few DM’s that have said I just seem so happy lately and it’s so true, St. George really has been such a positive thing for me and our family. We’ve been away for home for 16 years, so we’ve have had our struggles without family nearby. And now that we’ve moved back home, I’m realizing all the little things we missed out on. It’s been so fun living by family these past few months. My parents take Hudson to school and pick him up every day, so that’s been such a fun bonding moment for them. My mom and I go to lunch all the time and it’s just fills my heart with gratitude! I just cry over how grateful I am. We are loving the warmer weather here. And everything is so close! So that’s been nice when running errands. We are all just so genuinely happy here!

: HOUSE PLANS

Our house plans are DONE! They are in engineering right now, so we’re hoping to break ground in the next few months. We’re currently working on interior design which is my favorite part! Our master section is done, and we just got designs for the kitchen and pantry. We’re super excited with how it’s all turning out! We can’t wait to share more, but in the meantime, you can see our Pinterest board for home inspiration here.

Formal Dresses: Hunter’s Picks

Short Formal Dress

hunter’s dress + shoes

I always get a ton of questions about where we shop for Hunter’s dresses for dances. Our favorite stores are Revolve, Dillard’s, Windsor Stores, and more! So today on the blog I’m sharing where we find her formal dresses and also sharing a ton of short and long dress options that Hunter and I LOVE!

FORMAL DRESS ROUND-UP

Long Formal Dress

hunter’s dress + shoes

: WHERE WE LOOK FOR FORMAL DRESSES

Anthropologie– Their formal dresses are pricey, but their styles are unbelievably stunning. Hunter and I love finding unique dresses and Anthro has just that.

Dillard’s– You can find some beautiful formal dresses at Dillard’s. Hunter and I love Dillard’s because they carry very elegant/classy dresses. Also has a ton of modest options!

Revolve– We’ve shopped at Revolve for years and love everything from there! Their formal dresses are so fun and different!

ASOS– Definitely use a filter when you’re searching because they have a TON of options! Such a great price point too!

Windsor Stores– This one has so many good options and is most affordable. We’ve noticed that a lot of people purchase their dresses from Windsor, so that’s why Hunter gravitates to stores like Anthro that has more unique options!

For Love & Lemons– This one has a bunch of different dresses! Some are a little much, but there is definitely some cute, unique finds!

Easter Basket Gift Guides: Kids + Teens

Today on the blog I’m sharing Easter Basket gift ideas for your kids and teens! Can you even believe we are only a month from Easter? I swear this year is flying by! I’m not complaining though, Spring and Summer are my favorite time of the year! If you know me well, you know that I’m all about simplifying. I’m not all about the toys and junk. I always fill up the kid’s Easter baskets with things to prep for the upcoming spring and summer seasons! We usually do smaller Easter baskets because we like to fill up most of the Easter eggs with dollar bills instead of candy. But, I’ve rounded up a ton of ideas for Easter gifts for your kids so you are sure to find something they’ll love! I’ll be highlighting a few of the items and why we love them as well!

You guys know how busy our life has been lately, but we are finally starting to feel settled into our new home and new life in St. George! I can’t thank you all enough for being so supportive and kind! I appreciate every single one of you and I will share a life update soon but today on the blog I wanted to quickly share 5 items right now that I’m loving!!

5 ITEMS I’M LOVING RIGHT NOW

book

: THE POWER OF HABIT BOOK

I ordered this book from Amazon last week and have loved it so far! I’m not too far into it, but I’ve been marking all the these amazing insights so I can always go look back on it. It’s been a nice way to wind down at night instead of being on my phone. And it’s under $10!

ruffle top

: WHITE RUFFLE TOP

I ordered this white ruffle top in the xs and can’t wait to try it on! I haven’t gotten it yet, it’s supposed to be delivered tomorrow, so I’ll be sure to share a picture of how it fits! I thought it would be a fun top for spring! Also comes in black.

runner + wood stool

: WOOL RUNNER RUG

I bought this runner from Amazon for our master bathroom, and I seriously love it! It’s great quality and is easy to clean. We ordered the ivory color in the 2′ by 6′ and it’s the perfect size. Only $70 too! I’m so happy with this purchase so I just wanted to share it with you all!

kailee wright overalls

black shirt + overalls + hat

: FREE PEOPLE OVERALLS

You guys know how much I love these overalls from Free People! I’ve been wearing them for years and have them in multiple colors! They are seriously so versatile because they can be worn in ANY season depending on how you layer them. I love wearing them on vacation over my swimsuit too! I wear the xs for reference. They are such a classy staple that everyone needs in their closet. Just trust me on this one. (There is also an amazon dupe of these overalls for only $41.99 and comes in a ton of colors so I’ll link that here!)

mirrors

: BLACK ARCH MIRROR

We bought this black arch mirror for Hunter’s new room in St. George! We ordered the small vanity size mirror and it’s been delivered TWICE, but it was broken both times. So we are still waiting for our new one, but it’s such a gorgeous mirror and we can’t wait to style it in her room! I promise I’ll share a picture when we get it delivered and hung up. It also comes in a white and natural color AND it’s 50% off right now!!!

LIFE UPDATE

We are in Hawaii this week!!! I’ll be sharing a Hawaii recap on the blog next week, but today I wanted to give you all an update about this past week because we are officially all moved to St. George!!

LIFE UPDATE

my top || houston’s hoodie || harper’s bracelet

: THE MOVE

We are officially moved to St. George! We got here on Friday and had the whole truck unpacked by Friday night! Every box was out of the house by Saturday night. We absolutely loved using King Tote. They were the purple totes we used to moved everything! I got tons of questions about them, so here is the link. They seriously made life so much easier because we didn’t have to deal with dirty cardboard boxes! Code KAILEEWRIGHT gets you 25% off any package too!

: OUR NEW HOME

It’s honestly been exhausting to have to organize a new house and figure out new spaces again. This house is even smaller than the rental, so I feel like we’ve downsized twice! All the kids are sharing one bathroom, so that’s been a big adjustment. But the 2 littles have been brushing their teeth and getting ready in mine and Joe’s bathroom, so that has helped.

We still have a couple rooms that we need to dejunk and organize like our office, master closet, and the playroom. My brain kind of goes crazy when things aren’t put away so I’m just trying to give myself grace and know that it’s going to take time.

hunter’s dress + shoes

: HUNTER WENT TO PROM

We got to St. George Friday night and Hunter went to prom the next morning! She had a sweet friend ask her to his prom at another school that she isn’t going to. She had so much fun and I’m so glad she was able to meet more people from a different school!

: OUR NEW CHURCH

We went to our new church on Sunday at 9am! It was a huge shocker for our kids because our last ward had like 50 young men and 50 young women and this new yard has like 6 of each. So that was rough, but there is a lot of building going on around us so we are hoping there will be some more teenagers and kids in our church ward.

hunter’s top + similar jeans + similar shoes

: KID’S SCHOOLS

On Monday, we went and visited all the kid’s schools! We went to Hunter’s high school and found out that she needed to start school the NEXT DAY to get a grade for this quarter, so that was a big shock! We saw a bunch of familiar faces since Joe and I are from here, so it made it more comforting for Hunter because she knew a couple teachers and office staff. Hunter also has an autistic cousin that goes to the same school, so she got to see him and they hugged each other, it was so sweet! So she had her first day of school on Tuesday and had a really good attitude about it. She’s loved it so far and she keeps saying that her life feels like a movie right now! That just shows that it really hasn’t hit any of us yet that this is our new life!

The other kids are starting school when we get back from Hawaii…that just made the most sense. It’s been overwhelming trying to get everyone’s school all sorted out, but all the kids were able to meet their teachers, so they’re excited about it!

: KID’S SPORTS

Tuesday night, Hunter got invited to play a scrimmage game with a soccer game here! So Tuesday was a big day for her! But we’re still looking for a baseball team and Hayden is still decided whether she wants to do cheer or gymnastics. So I’ll keep you updated on that.

: HAWAII

Like I said, we’re in Hawaii this week!! We were sad that we couldn’t go closer to Christmas, but it’s honestly perfect timing because this is just what everyone needs. We all just need 10 days together as a family to connect and digest everything that’s been happening!

. . .

Thanks for reading and being so supportive! I’ll share another update soon!

I know this isn’t a very fun purchase, but Joe and I are wanting to keep our garage organized at our new house so we had to order this 6-spot bike rack for all the kid’s bikes!!

: PHONE CAR MOUNT

I was in need of a good phone mount for my car and this one had great reviews, so I ordered it! It uses a magnetic force and is compatible with any phone! I’ve loved it so far.

: NAIL CARE PEN

I ordered this nail care pen because I want to start taking better care of my nails, especially because I’m always wearing my Red Aspen nails. You can use it daily and it will help strengthen your nails and keep them healthy!

: HAIR OIL

This hair oil has such great reviews so I ordered it to try! I’ll have to keep you all updated with how I like it. It’s supposed to help with dry scalp and split ends! It’s a good oil for overall hair health…. and it’s only $8.60!

: BUTTERFLY DRESS

I bought this butterfly dress for Harper for her birthday and she absolutely loved it! I also got her these butterfly hair clips to wear too. She wanted a butterfly birthday so she was so excited about her dress!

: MAKEUP BAGS

Hunter and I needed new makeup bags and we loved that these ones were clear and seemed easy to keep clean! They come in a pack of 3 for only $13.99!

: SWEATER SET

I thought this sweater set would be so cute and comfy for lounging around the house! I ordered the extra small in the heather mushroom color! So excited about it!

: LAUNDRY DETERGENT

I’ve been using this laundry detergent for a while now and it smells heavenly!

: APPLE AIRTAG

We bought this apple airtag because we can never find Joe’s wallet! If you don’t know how it works, you can put an airtag in your suitcase, wallet, purse, anywhere and you’re able to track where it is on your phone!

: NINTEDO CONTROLLER

We bought the kids a Nintendo switch for Christmas so we bought another controller so more people can play it together!

: WOVEN BASKET

I ordered 2 of these woven baskets to put in our new house! They are perfect for storing blankets, stuffed animals, toys, and more!
