So we are SEVEN weeks away from meeting baby #4!! I seriously can’t believe it is getting so close! The little people asked yesterday if we could start looking through all the baby items we have so far, and of course I was more then happy to bust them out. Hunter asked why everything we had was grey?! Haha. I kinda was thinking the same thing + this not finding out the gender is starting to get hard. We all can hardly wait to find out if this baby is a boy or girl, but until then “gender neutral” it is. Here are just a few of my favorite baby items…some we have and some I am still needing to get. If there is anything I am missing or need to add to my list please leave a comment + let me know what this baby needs! Thanks so much for stopping by!! Check out this post for the most “Chic Diaper Bags”.
I am so excited today to be teaming up with the ladies of Pure Fit Pure Food, Brecke and Devrie. They have some of the most fabulous + easy healthy recipes for you and your family! Not to mention great fitness plans to fit each of our individual needs…since we are all different and want to go at different paces. I am actually using some recipes from their Meal + Movement Plan that I love!! This plan also comes with a step by step fitness program that I am excited to start full force once baby is here. (I have been doing a few exercises that I can pregnant, or that my doctor has okayed) and they have helped keep me in shape during this pregnancy. I mentioned to Brecke and Devrie my love/cravings for healthy smoothies right now and they were fabulous enough to share a new recipe with us!!
Also…you can get 20% off the “REAL” program by using the code : KAILEE20
ENJOY!!
This smoothie is the perfect post workout fuel – it is ideal to consume within 45 minutes after a really intense workout (long/hard sprints, circuit/interval training/HIIT, or cross fit type workouts)…the type of workout you know you’ll be sore from. Or in my situation just consume anyday + everyday! Haha. Enjoy!
CHERRY CITRUS RECOVERY SMOOTHIE : (serves 2)
1 package organic frozen cherries
3 limes, juiced
2 clementines, juiced
3/4 cup coconut water
2 scoops Tera’s Grass-fed Whey, vanilla
(ice if desired)
Blend all ingredients in your blender/blendtec. Enjoy!
: Cherry Juice :
contains more antioxidants than pomegranates to help reduce inflammation, decreasing muscle soreness.
: Citrus :
full of vitamin c which is necessary for the growth and repair of muscle tissue
: Coconut Water :
the most perfect whole food source to replenish electrolytes lost in sweat
: Whey Protein :
the gold standard for muscle repair as it is absorbed quickly by recovering muscles. Be sure to always choose high quality with minimal ingredients.
So I have been wanting to add some more color into my family’s everyday life. Over the weekend my mom was in town, and as we were cleaning up breakfast…I thought why not just grab some colored dishes for everyday?! So later that day off to the mall we went. We stopped by Anthropologie and I about died over these bowls + these!! My kids had read my mind and were already calling/assigning everyone in the household a color. Of course I had to snag every color! I seriously love them + my kids have loved helping wash and put the dishes away. Happy Monday friends!!
I have been loving all the picks /choices for diaper bags out there! You don’t have to sacrifice your style for sensibility when it comes to buying a bag. I fell like diaper bags have come along way, even since my last baby almost 4 years ago. Now they are so modern + sleek and well just fabulous looking! I like to stick with neutrals so it goes with any outfit and can be used for your future babes, but I also love color and bright colors at that!!! So I always have a hard time deciding. If you like color I recommend Petunia Pickle Bottom bags – there’s so many fun prints + styles to chose from. This Marc Jacobs bag is 40% off and has amazing reviews – snag it on sale while you can! I’m loving this grey bag, but not sure I can bring myself to splurge. Tell me your favorites or diaper bags you haven’t liked…all opinions + help wanted. Thanks so much friends!!
GIVEAWAY
Also, there is a fun giveaway going on over on my Instagram (@kailee_wright)…for one of you lovely ladies to win a Petunia Pickle Bottom bag of your choice!!
Happy Wednesday friends! I honestly can not believe that we are in May! I need time to slow down just a bit…anyone else feel like this? So yes, I bought myself a Mother’s Day dress. Haha. Just like I buy my girls Easter dresses. I think we all deserve it! So I actually couldn’t wait till Mother’s Day to wear this tank dress (plus I’ve probably wore it a dozen times already) but being pregant and all, dresses are just the most comforable thing + I can’t bring myself to buy more maternity jeans, as this will be our last babe. So it looks like it’s dresses from here on out till this baby comes.
Can we chat about my favorite coral wedges EVER + this amazingly huge purse (which my husband calls my suitcase). These wedges are seriously so comfortable….I know every girl says that about every shoe, but honestly, these babies are! Both my sisters bought a pair as well when we were in vegas on our girls trip, so you know I’m not crazy talk and they come in more fabulous colors!! And, my “suitcase”/purse…this thing is big, but with three little people and another on the way I’m always carrying everyones extra stuff. I love how roomy this purse is + it comes with a small clutch that I think is genius! I put all my items in there, so when I don’t have my littles I just grab the clutch and go! (you can see it here).
Well I hope you all have a wonderful day!! Thank you so much for taking the time out of your day to stop by here! I honestly appreciate it!!
If you have been around for a while you know my love for Puj runs deep! I am so excited to be a guest curator over on the Puj Instagram this week…starting tomorrow (tuesday)! I have loved this company since the minute I found them. Puj is a fabulous brand + their whole goal is simplifiy parenthood, and who is not for that?! I have a true love for their product (see here).
So of course, I was beyond thrilled when they asked me to be their mother “in full bloom” for their AMAZING Mother’s Day Giveaway! They are showering one of you with only the best essentials (valued at $3,500+) to help you feel beautifully prepared. Because you deserve it!! You can view all details about the giveaway here!! Enjoy!!
I can’t believe it’s already the weekend again!! So I got this amazing (non maternity) pink dress a few weeks ago and wore it for date night. I honestly got had a handful of girls ask me where I got it. Seriously, this dress is so simple but the length, v-neck and material are so flattering on all body types. I love that is can be dressed up or down (as is with most of the dresses I buy). Who doesn’t love versatility?! Plus did I mention this dress is under $50 + it comes in a few other colors?! Done deal…I’m buying another one. Haha. Happy Friday + thank you for stopping by and for all your support here!! It truly means so much!
